I loved how black devotion worked, and I love red devotion, so I thought I'd combine the two to create this deck centered around Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Fanatic of Mogis

We either start off with a Rakdos Cackler (Black or Red devotion) or a Legion Loyalist to start pressure early.

Then we beat them up with a Spike Jester on turn two to keep the pressure on

Rakdos Shred-Freak is a nice easy-to-cast Black or Red devotion card. he even has haste.

Cryptborn Horror is for Black or Red devotion, too, and he has the potential to get big.

The man himself, Rakdos, Lord of Riots is the four-drop 6/6 that's perfect for devotion to this deck. Also, he makes Gray Merchant of Asphodel (our highest CMC creature) cheap to cast.

Underworld Connections is there to refuel my hand and is a nice black devotion source.

Let your enemies feel the pain.
