This is an alternate style rakdos EDH deck looking to leverage Grenzo's 'cellar door' ability.

The game plan is to cast Grenzo, Dungeon Warden for = and then start flipping creatures off the bottom of our library. We run a high number of creatures so we should hit a creature roughly 2 in 5 times. Because Grenzo's ability can be activated at instant speed we want to hold off on using it until before blockers or on opponents end step to give our creatures pseudo-haste.

I haven't made any changes to the decklist recently although I have been playing more and testing a few cards which made the cut.

  1. Cabal Stronghold --> Badlands
  2. Swamp --> Bloodstained Mire
  3. Temple of the False God --> Arid Mesa
  4. Inventors' Fair --> Cavern of Souls

I've found that too frequently I didn't have red mana on turn 3 to cast Grenzo and that the extra mana producing lands were more of a pipe dream. So, I've cut the colourless ones and added colour producing lands I had lying around from another deck I recently took apart. (Note: Badlands and Cavern of Souls are by no means necessary in this deck. Inventor's Fair or the B/R pain land are essentially just as good)

  1. Reito Lantern --> The Cauldron of Eternity Lantern is still a very good card in this deck for it's unique effect and it may still find a way back into the list. However, the upside on Cauldron is straight gas and allows us to reuse our creatures without additional mana investment.

  2. Emrakul's Hatcher --> Dockside Extortionist Not much to say here, Dockside is insane at Commander tables.

  3. Sin Prodder --> Ugin, the Ineffable Prodder has under-performed, as it's ability to draw us lands is non-existent, which is primarily why we want draw in the first place. Ugin provides us with another way to deal with enchantments, his static ability is somewhat relevant, and he can draw us cards in a pinch.
