Rakdos Is Getting Bloodthirsty

Commander / EDH Aggro BR (Rakdos) Combo

Falsequivalence


A deck I made in all of 2 hours. Uses Bloodlord of Vaasgoth+Mephidross Vampire/Conspiracy to overwhelm opponents, while using typical R/B tricks and painful tactics. Rakdos synergizes well with the amount of damage going out and his lowering the cost of things like Increasing Ambition and Tsabo Tavoc, while dealing incredible amounts of damage relatively quickly. A little bit of artifact mana ramp, but with a significantly large amount of tutors. Hopefully, you can get Rakdos out by turn 4, and then you can start absolutely destroying due to his lowering of casting costs. Although I kind of wish there were more cards like Bloodlord of Vaasgoth. Bloodthirst as a mechanic synergizes well with Rakdos and the rest of the deck. As does haste.

Well, I realized that Pain Magnification really doesn't work in this deck. So I thought "Hmm, well, I need card draw." So I ended up finding Staff of Nin. It lets ME draw an extra card each turn (unlike Howling Mine or Font of Mythos) and I can tap it to trigger a creature's Bloodthirst ability. And on top of that, it can work with Rakdos to make things 1 colorless cheaper too. Pain Magnification isn't BAD, but it just isn't a fit for this deck; not enough synergy. So, Staff of Nin came in.
