Commander / EDH BR (Rakdos) Combo Group Slug

katanafish


This is a "fun" little group slug deck centered around everyone losing all their life and not having any cards :)

The main (but arguably less fun) win condition of the deck is the Worldgorger Dragon+Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead combo. Once it gives you infinite mana you cast Exsanguinate to take out the table, or Rakdos's Return if there's only one player left, which there's likely to be since we're running the pointiest color identity. If you can't get a big x cost spell to kill people you can use Nihilistic Glee to dig through your deck until you either get something you can use or die in the process, that's rakdos for you.

This deck runs a few tutors to get this online. Behold the Beyond can get you everything you need. There's also Vampiric Tutor,Liliana Vess's -2, which is just vampiric tutor, and Demonic Tutor.

There's also the Underworld Breach, LED, Wheel of Fortune combo that, if assembled will get you to the worldgorger easy. If Lion's Eye Diamond, Wheel of Fortune, and at least 6 other cards are in your grave yard, you can cast them over and over by exiling the six other cards to breach and continuously pitching and refilling your hand with LED and wheel. Just don't exile worldgorger and your online baybeee.

The real win conditions though are the nasty group slug enchantments that keep your friends from wanting to play with you. Bottomless Pit, Painful Quandary, Curse of the Cabal, Pain Magnification, and Sire Of Insanity all keep the table in a state of desperate chaos. This is the true Malfegor experience and you ideally want to win this way, but if you can't, there's a good chance that the table's too focused on shooting from the hip trying to destroy your enchantments that they don't notice your combo potential.

If your main combo doesn't work out then Morality Shift+Living Death can dump enough power on the board to seal the deal, Liliana's Contract + some demons can steal a win if no one has a hand and can't draw disruption, and Archfiend of Despair takes out players one by one if Havoc Festival is on the board. If those don't work, simply cast Malfegor and swing in a couple of times with Anthem of Rakdos on the field for commander damage. Nothing tastes sweeter than clocking a blue mage who's discarded all his control spells in the jaw for 18 with the worlds best demon/dragon/lover.
