"When Lord Rakdos stirred from his slumber, everyone else's nightmare began"

Well, as I've delved into EDH, I've noticed a few things. One being that there are certain decks and commanders which everyone hates. I've faced so much hate from the table with my Kaalia EDH deck before the game even begun, that I decided it was about time to scrap together a deck which really disturbs people. So I compiled a bunch of mean Rakdos colored cards I had lying around, and put together a spur of the moment deck to piss off everyone at the table. This deck focuses on screwing up the delicate, political balance of commander. The simple basis is that the deck is happy to take all of the hate from the table, throwing it right back in everyone's face equally. I normally try to distribute the hate evenly among multiplayer games.

Cards like Underworld Dreams and Zo-Zu the Punisher keep people from playing normal aspects of the game without sucking up damage. They're supported by other things like Rain of Gore, which keeps damage flowing, and Fumiko the Lowblood, which keeps people from sitting back and building up armies. Exava is more or less used to supply a reliable source of damage, unleashing her with cards like Inquisitor's Flail for heavy damage when she can sneak through. And Havoc Festival moves the pace of the game drastically forward, so I normally try to get that into play ASAP.

Now, understand that this deck isn't meant to win. I have won with it, but that's not near as much of the point as embodying the showmanship necessary for a real Rakdos deck. Go down giving the table a bloody show, and throw the game for a whirl while you're at it. Make Lord Rakdos proud!
