The main idea of this deck is to put some big monsters in game for free and whoop some ass hence our fella Rakdos, Lord of Riots. He has a pretty bad draw back to come in game but once he is in he does the job.

Time has been harsh on us, my meta shifted with the rise of plenty os Bant/control-heavy decks (yuck), due to this I had to embrace discard, since I can't keep my immigrants in play for long nor finish 1v1 games quick enough, keeping in mind this is a multiplayer focused deck, i decided to go full Hand-hate, if players don't have hands they usually have fewer answers to the mexican incursion.

Rakdos' Enablers Show

• Cryptolith Fragment  

• Hellrider

• Honden of Infinite Rage

• Lim-Dul's Hex

• Lobber Crew

• Onyx Goblet

• Palace Siege

• Piranha Marsh

• Rakdos Ickspitter

• Retreat to Hagra

• Sin Prodder

• Staff of Nin

• Warstorm Surge

Hand Hate Show

• Oppression

• Persecute

• Sire Of Insanity

• Bottomless Pit

• Appetite for Brains

• Night Terrors

• Mindslicer

• Hellhole Rats

• Liliana's Reaver

• Pain Magnification

• Painful Quandary

• Void

• Honden of Night's Reach

The hand Hate mechanic is partially out of the deck, since it's new, eventually i'll invest in reanimator mechanics since i'll be putting my own creatures in the graveyard. Extra draw Engines include Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, Grafted Skullcap, Phyrexian Arena, Chandra, Flamecaller; Mindstorm Crown. Flavorwise i'm also including Hellbent cards such as Anthem of Rakdos and Jagged Poppet.

Any sugestions on what to exchange from one board to another or to cut out of/add to the list are welcome, I'm always testing for better speed/damaga and/or consistency on the gameplay, thanks.
