Howdy again, brewers!

This is one of four decks I decided to build for an "EDH Gauntlet" Tournament I set up with some friends. I don't remember exactly where this idea came from, but we put our own spin on it and are looking forward to reporting back after it's all over! Keeping it brief, it's basically a commander tournament with the singleton card restriction extended across 4 decks instead of one (except for basic lands, of course). There are 4 rounds, with initial pods assigned randomly. Each player rolls for which deck they will play in that round, and once a deck is played, it can't be played again in the tournament. Exciting stuff!

As for this Rakdos build - no big write up just yet since I'm still brewing and the Gauntlet is happening in less than a month! In short, it's a less-competitive version of the typical cEDH shell due to the gauntlet restrictions. And, ya know... because I don't have Lion's Eye Diamond, Yawgmoth's Will, Wheel of Fortune, Mox Diamond, Grim Monolith, Orcish Bowmasters.. you get the idea.
