Rakdos Aggro Madness

Modern Aggro BR (Rakdos)

Sideboard


A fun idea to run a aggro deck with a madness engine, basically discard cards and use madness to create tempo

Smuggler's Copter, Liliana of the Veil and Pack Rat are dicard engines who can create the early tempo needed for the deck to function. Pack Rat is also great because it gets bigger and makes new creatures which protect myself or use as crew fodder for Smuggler's Copter. Liliana of the Veil proves as a great addition as she discards cards for no mana and helps keep the board clear.

Hazoret the Fervent is there to be a beatstick since I will have little to no cards in hand by that point of the game. Hazoret also discards cards and deals damage if necessary.

Demigod of Revenge is a good 5 drop that brings other copies back if they were discarded earlier in the game

Lightning Axe helps proc madness and remove a lot of threats, Fiery Temper is just all around good removal especially since its a bolt when discarded.

Key to the City helps my creatures get through blockers and offers a way to proc madness.

Squee, Goblin Nabob is in the deck as infinite discard fodder as Squee never stays in the graveyard. Bloodghast also serves a very similar purpose except that Bloodghast keeps being a 2/1 beatstick as long as I can play lands.

Tormenting Voice is there to refill my hand without being too cumbersome as this deck will run out of cards quickly and also a way to proc Madness.

any help with improving the deck would be appreciated

After some quick testing I found that there are some cards that didnt work such as Nahiri's Wrath

Nahiri's Wrath ended up being a win more card in my hand, only being helpful when I was ahead or did absolutely nothing as there was nothing to discard in my hand to use it with.

Avatar of Discord was always a good flying beater on turn 3 but there were a lot of situations where the discard 2 cards was more detrimental to me than helpful. Bloodhall Priest didnt do enough to make a case for it to be a part of the deck

Collective Brutality was good but it didnt feel like it had a place in the deck.

Liliana of the Veil, Bloodghast, Squee, Goblin Nabobfoil have added as they create more value
