This is a quick rakdos build i did last night to change things up i am currently looking to acquire more cards for it. Draw power Underworld Connections Blood Scrivener blood also does stack i have verified this online and in person. Although my main focus isn't devotion it turned out that way more towards black and a little towards red so therefore i added Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx as mana ramp for either needed color Chandra, Pyromaster works as burn as well as additional draw if needed definitely looking to acquire 1 maybe 2 more. Stormbreath Dragon is my lategame ender after my opponent has exhausted their hand for and is limited on answers also a great answer after control taps out for elspeth looking to acquire 2 more. Lifebane Zombie is great vs many of the decks in my local meta its intimidate does wonders against Elspeth, Sun's Champion since it would die in two turns if not stalled Whip of Erebos counts towards devotion as well as lifelink which is an awesome bonus and helps sustain longer matches with all of the life that is paid from the other spells and reanimating creatures from gave for added board pressure. Thoughtseize is awesome for hand dissruption thinking of making it 3 of in the main board. Erebos, God of the Dead is an awesome beater and with his devotion will almost always be active i love how he cancels lifegain for the opponents and is big enough to take out most creatures that would be chosen to block him as well as more draw power if needed sideboardBurning Earth side in against decks that run multiple non basic lands mainly esper and american looking to acquire one more possibly 2 if it proves to be needed Duress extra hand hate vs control decks or decks that don't focus on creatures and instead run lots of instants or sorcery spells or even planeswalkers Slaughter Games against a deck that is slow enough to use this against such as esper or american it is able to not only dissrupt their hand but the deck as well by exiling multiple cards that are relied on and can not be countered which is perfect in this deckPithing Needle anything that needs to be shut down Atherling planeswalkers or god weapons possibly even gods themselves Skullcrack works great vs lifegain decks as well as getting the final points of damage in i have won many games using this card before doing 6 points of damage with a double skullcrackRatchet Bomb great vs token decks as well as decks that use 1 or 2 drops there is a white weenie deck that runs imortal-servitude and if that happens the board can be moved in his favor since his deck is full of 1 drops it is great for the end game but with this it will end his endgame quickly.Thoughtseize additional hand hate on any type of card except land thinking of moving to the side board for something else.would love any and all suggestions for the deck as well asa +1 would be greatly appreciated thank you for your time.
