Standard Aggro BR (Rakdos) Burn

Vectoran


Sideboard


Rakdos aggro. My main deck and i will test it in FNM. Need as much help as possible with it.

Creatures:

Rakdos Cackler: A great 2/2 1 drop. Brings pressure early game and can gain haste late game from Exava.

Tormented Hero: Another great 1 drop 2/1 and heroic. His heroic is actually pretty good. He is a great target for a turn 2 madcaps which he can get 6 damage on turn 2, or if i have 2 devient glees i can get 8 damage.

Rakdos Shred-Freak: A decent 2 drop 2/1 with haste. Can apply good early game damage, and has devotion to black so he can work with Mogis's Marauder.

Spike Jester: A slightly stronger 2 drop with haste. Great target for madcaps and can pump out plenty of early damage.

Xathrid Necromancer: An amazing card for this deck since most of my creatures are humans. He makes spot removal less effective since i just get zombies. He also works well with Mogis since i can just swing away and not worry about my creatures being destroyed.

Mogis's Marauders: Probably the best card in the deck. He brings everything together in the end since all my creatures have black in their mana cost. Hes a great game finisher for only 3 mana.

Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch: Great late game card. 4 drop 4/4 with haste and first strike. She can also give my cacklers haste to apply more pressure on my opponents.

Other spells:

Dreadbore: Great 2 drop removal for pesky creatures or planeswalkers although it is a sorcery.

Doom Blade: Another great 2 drop removal except at instant speed.

Lightning Strike: Good early game removal or a game finisher for late game.

Madcap Skills: Highly aggressive early game damage maker. 2 mana for +3/+0 and has to be blocked by 2 or more creatures. Most decks wont have 2 creatures on the field on turn 2 and if they do they would lose both if the blocked.

Deviant Glee: Great 1 drop enchantment gives +2/+1 and the ability to give my creatures trample for pesky chump blockers.

Sideboard:

Still trying to work out my sideboard. Not really sure what all to put in or take out since i hardly ever need it.

Went 3-1 at last nights FNM.

First round was a weird boros aggro. 1-2

Game 1 was even for a bit but then i got mana flooded and he won in a few turns.

Game 2 I quickly bashed him down with a turn 4 win thanks to tormented hero with madcaps and a spike jester.

Game 3 was even the entire time. we top decked for about 10 turns until he got 3 pacifisms in a row then grabbed my last creature with a chained to the rocks.

Second round im not quite sure what he played but it was green and white. I beat him on turn 4 both times before he played anything other than mana. 2-0

Third round was mono black devotion. once again a really quick match. he couldnt get anything on the board fast enough to deal with me. 2-0

Game 1 was a turn 5 win since he was able to remove my tormented hero, but i quickly made up for it with 2 spike jesters and 2 madcaps.

Game 2 lasted a bit longer. he was able to get out a packrat which i removed with lightning strike. turn 3 he put out nightvail spectre which did a little damage but not enough to make a real difference. Then on turn 4 he placed whip of erebos. By this time he was down to 8 and couldnt do much. I won a few turns later when I used lightning strike on his only creature then hit him with my spike jesters and exava a few more times.

Round 3 was an esper aggro that switched to midrange with his sideboard. 2-1

Game 1 Was a turn 5 win. He only got a soldier of the pantheon out.

Game 2 I lost due to an obzedat I wasnt expecting to see. I had no way to remove it so he won a few turns after it was played.

Game 3 was another pretty fast win. Around turn 8 i was able to play mogis and swung 6 unblockable creatures for the win.

Overall was a pretty good return for my deck. Ive been mostly playing control decks but I like how much more consistent this deck is and its speed is just overpowering for most people. Will be playing this deck more often and there will be more updates soon!
