Power/Flavor Adjustments —Oct. 25, 2021

Added

• Archfiend of Despair: Great for swinging in and watching opponents figure out blockers only to find out they died at the end of turn anyway :').
• Animate Dead: Headcanon: The Rakdos guildmages brought them back from the dead to party
• Disciple of Bolas: This deck needed more draw
• Crypt Ghast: A little less flavorful but extremely good for ramp, would probably party in silence
• Spawn of Mayhem: A flavorful pinger
• Orcus, Prince of Undeath: Currently playtesting this guy, looks like he'd partyhard-y
• Dread Cacodemon: Needed more bombs, one sided boardwipes were necessary
• Vial Smasher the Fierce: Chaotic damage, would probably be down to party with the lord of riots himself, easy include
• Sin Prodder: Sinful fun
• Underworld Breach: Santa Claws is coming to town
• Sanctum of Stone Fangs: The greatest place to host house parties
• Burning-Rune Demon: 2hot2handle
• Wheel of Misfortune: Flavorful way to refill the hand, doubles as a suicidal minigame

Removed

• Bedeck // Bedazzle: I find myself waiting to play this, but I found that it was better to have fewer answers and put in strong creatures
• Gratuitous Violence: Flavorful but a little too mana intensive for the deck
• Dire Fleet Captain: Lacking in fLaVoR
• Fireblade Artist: Good but not good enough, needed more continued value
• Fists of the Demigod: weak sauce, weak to removal
• Fleshbag Marauder: Cute but too little value
• Merciless Executioner: ^^^
• Quietus Spike: Not enough mana
• Rakdos Cackler: There are better pingers that are almost/equally flavorful
• Soulblast: This one could never work
• Lightning Skelemental: Not enough recursion to make this work
• Warstorm Surge: 6 CMC is too high to play without cheating in
• Skull Rend: Flavorful in gameplay but always sat in the hand
• Undying Evil: The Rakdos guild isn't evil, they just wanna have fun
