Fast Layered Rakdos Combo Deck with Anje at the helm.

The deck features 2 a+b lines in the infamous Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead (henceforth known as george) combo alongside Twinflame + Dualcaster Mage . Anje brings something to the george combo that was largely lacking in other rakdos builds, a reliable way to get the dragon out of your hand. Because Anje serves as a discard outlet (as well as a means to find an outlet for the combo post infinite) coupled with the compact nature of A+B combos, we can afford to run more aggressive tutors like Demonic Consultation and Tainted Pact . Our curve is low enough and our card quality high enough (since we arent jamming all the bad madness cards) to warrant playing Ad Nauseam and since Anje can draw a card, she can also crack Doomsday piles. The outlets for george in this deck are Avacyn's Judgment , Cut / Ribbons , and Bloodhall Priest .

For those unfamiliar, the goal for george is to put the dragon into the yard and then reanimate it with one of our enchantments. This puts the dragon into play, exiling all of our permanents. The dragon then dies since the enchantment is no longer in play, returning all of our permamnents to play untapped including the enchantment. The enchantment brings the dragon into play again, with the ETB on the stack this time, tap all of the lands/rocks for mana, and repeat the process for infinite mana. Once we have infinite mana, we can use our infinitely blinking general to loot through our deck (since she has haste) until we reach one of our outlets. For Avacyn's Judgment simply discard it to Anje and kill the table. For Cut / Ribbons throw it into the yard and keep digging until you hit a creature or removal spell to break george's loop. For Bloodhall Priest you can discard her to Anje and put her into play off her madness ability, then keep digging through your deck until you reach Darkblast . Between each iteration of the dragon, cast darkblast on it. Then when Anje returns activate her ability and dredge to return darkblast to your hand. Repeat until you have no cards in hand and then let Bloodhall Priest kill the table with george still blinking.
