My Rakdos deck is the first deck I ever had and have been running it since I first began and is also currently my main standard deck. The goal is the rush the opponent with dozens of fast creatures and destroy anything that gets in the way of that. If you look at my creatures you can see every single one of them has haste or has a way of getting haste from Exava or Mogis's Marauder and all of them are black for Mogis's.

Mainboard

Madcap Skills With a Rakdos Cackler or Tormented Hero we would deal 5 damage on turn 2 (six if attached to Tormented) plus it allows me to get past that one blocker opponents like to leave and win the game.Mogis's Marauder Allows us to get through our last points of damage in or give our other cards that don't have haste haste and is also a human for Xathrid NecromancerExava, Rakdos Blood Witch Basically one the finishers for this deck. haste? check first strike? bonus! the ability to give my unleash creatures haste? Yep! Is a human? YES!Tormented Hero 2/1 great one drop.Doom Blade Cheap and effective removal swap it out for other removal if the opponent is running black.Rakdos Cackler Great one drop can gain haste from Exava.Xathrid Necromancer: Since a lot of my creatures are humans Xathrid pairs nicely in this deck whenever any of my humans are removed or Xathrid is removed. I get a 2/2 zombie token that I can give intimidate with Mogis's Marauder.Lightning Strike: Burn/RemovalSpike Jester: Rakdos Cackler Turn 1 + this turn 2 turns into 5 damage.Rakdos Shred-Freak: Easy to drop 2/1 with haste great aggro card.

Sideboard

Dreadbore Side in against decks with planeswalkers in them or when Doom Blade does nothing.Slaughter Games Gets rid of whatever you want before it hits the board FOREVER unlike Thoughtseize and can even hit cards they have yet to draw. Plus it can't be counter which makes it an awesome car against controlThoughtseize A much faster Slaughter Games but can only see in hand rather than exile that card from everywhere. Most effective when against enchantment heavy decks, hexproof decks, and cards that you just don't want to see hit the board such as Voice of Resurgence.Pithing Needle Pack Rat Begone!Lifebane Zombie Get rid of pesky creatures before they hit the field! such as Blood Baron of Vizkopa or some big green or white fatty.Dark Betrayal Black hate,Please leave comments & feedback & check out my other decks :D
