Pia's Revolution + Shrapnel Blast + Retributive Wand creates backbreaking damage that will surprise your opponent and force them on the defensive from your other threats on board. The look on your opponent's face when they have to decide between a total 13 damage or giving you back your ammunition will power you through this high-octane deck.

Jokes aside, your usual game plan will be to get some early artifacts on board and put on some early pressure while setting up our backbreaker. Bomat Courier, Scrapheap Scrounger, and Ravenous Intruder keep us with an aggressive board state to reach that halfway point. Ravenous intruder is especially important as a sacrifice outlet, doubling for artifact triggers as well as surprise damage. A dismissed unblocked gremlin can win many a match, and don't forget you can sacrifice Darksteel Citadel for that extra damage.

It's worth explicitly stating that Intruder is instrumental in abusing Wishclaw Talisman. By activating the talisman before saccing it to our gremlin, we can effectively tutor for a combo piece, buff our attacker, and leave our opponent with nothing for 3 mana.

Rakdos dumptruck is a fun, original deck that does massive damage out of nowhere and can keep pace with more competitive decks, and was birthed from a desire to retain some creative authority in the face of a cementing competitive meta. This midrange deck can consistently kill on turn 5 against an unprepared opponent while keeping steam going in late matches, and your opponent won't know what jank you're even doing until it's already over.
