So I made this deck for my little sister to help get her into Magic. It's pretty straightforward and akin to many popular Rakdos aggro decks I've seen recently. I reworked an old gimmicky deck and built it around Xathrid Necromancer. I know
Mogis's Marauder
is very popular in these decks right now, but honestly, aside from Xathrid Necromancer and
Rakdos, Lord of Riots
, everything has unleash, so I prefer Exava, Rakdos Bloodwitch]].
Madcap Skills
is a must have in red aggro decks. No real question here. on
Thrill-Kill Assassin
it means taking 5 damage each time she swings or losing 2 creatures double blocking.
Xathrid Necromancer Is just amazing, everyhting in this deck aside from
Rakdos, Lord of Riots
and Rakdos Cackler is a human. Double Necromancers on the field and your enemies will be up to their ass in zombies. Also it serves as a good answer to Supreme Verdict
Purphoros, God of the Forge brings a lot of pain really quickly. Ideally you could play Rakdos Cackler turn 1, [[Rakdos Shred Freak[] turn 2,
Madcap Skills
on either turn 3, Purphoros, God of the Forge turn four and have a 4 drop 5/6. Paired with Xathrid Necromancer it means almost every creature is pinging for 2 damage on their way in AND out of the battlefield.
Rakdos, Lord of Riots
- Nerf master Morello himself. He's kind of like a
Desecration Demon
turn 4, except with Trample and he can't be tapped down with sac's. If you aren't able to deal damage turn 4 you're probably not doing it right.
These are my initial thoughts. I've played several versions of this deck but not this one exactly. Feedback, Comments, +1's always appreciated! I'll let you know how this one plays at FNM!
