Creatures

Core of the Deck

• Rakdos, Lord of Riots The core of the deck, it allows our demons and eldrazi entering the battlefield.

Rakdos enabler

• Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh   Attack with her then cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots then tap her for 1 damage, et voilà a Planeswalker ready to kick some ass
• Lobber Crew Rakdos enabler.
• Mogis, God of Slaughter The Rakdos GOD. Devotion with demons are not a problem at all. Also a Rakdos enabler.
• Ob Nixilis, the Fallen Not the best demon around but he's a Rakdos enabler
• Plague Spitter Rakdos enabler and token killer
• Rakdos Ickspitter Rakdos enabler.
• Sin Prodder Draw engine or Rakdos enabler. Win win. Lands will always go to graveyard. I warned you.
• Thermo-Alchemist Rakdos enabler.
• Vial Smasher the Fierce you cast spell with 0 cost, but cmc is always very very high and some extra damage is always welcome. Also a Rakdos enabler

Our Demons+Eldrazi Army

• Archfiend of Depravity We suffer token decks, so we got this "board-wipe" with legs. Very useful.
• Archfiend of Despair A very nice gift from battlebond, combo with Hidetsugu can kill aoe.
• Artisan of Kozilek A resser with 0 mana? Yes please.
• Blood Speaker Tutor for our demons
• Crypt Ghast Nice add 'cause our demons costs at least even with Rakdos.
• Demonlord Belzenlok draw draw draw and he have also a great body +flying +trample. Very good.
• Desolation Twin This is a card I want to exchange with another fat eldrazi, but hey, 2 10/10 costing 0? Not bad at all
• Dread Cacodemon Another board wipe for opponents. Cast him in second main phase obv.
• Emrakul, the Promised End Need explanation for this?
• Erebos, God of the Dead Bye bye lifelinker and welcome card in my hand (for a small price to pay)
• Griselbrand I know he's banned but my group let me play him. Devastating.
• Heartless Hidetsugu Great card, can resolve games from nothing, just make sure that he enter the battlefield with haste or he die before your turn.
• Indulgent Tormentor Always target who can't sacrifice or the guy with no life. Not to play in early games 'cause he is useless, everyone will pay 3 life on early turns.
• Kaervek the Merciless When he enter the battlefield the most thing you will hear is disappoint noise.
• Lord of the Void For a little bit of Chaos. We are Rakdos, remember?
• Master of Cruelties Or how I call him: "Son of shit". I'm sad he's not legendary
• Master of the Feast Nice body for early games. In late don't play him, is not worth let the oppo draw for a 5/5 when you have creatures like this girl
• Neheb, the Eternal Another GREAT add for our deck, his ability is insane for ppl like us playing in second main phase
• Ob Nixilis, Unshackled An answer to all "I wanna tutor a [insert random card here] from my deck" ok, 10 damage. Usually he don't resist more than two turns on the battlefield.
• Razaketh, the Foulblooded I know we cant afford to sacrifice one powerful demon, but all the "rakdos enabler" are expendables when Rakdos is out
• Rune-Scarred Demon Simply tutor with no sacrifice
• Sidisi, Undead Vizier Another tutor that is simply too strong even he's not a demon
• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre Great eldrazi with Annihilator 4 and the ability to reshuffle graveyard with him. I'm watching at you dimir mill player
• Void Winnower Be ready to have all hate on the board for you after him. Very useful.

Lands

Here we got more swamps than mountain because our demons need usually or more to be cast, but also we got several double like Blood Crypt Bloodstained Mire Command Tower Dragonskull Summit Luxury Suite Shadowblood Ridge Smoldering Marsh Sulfurous Springs Tainted Peak Temple of Malice and the useful Terramorphic Expanse .

Other lands

• Bojuka Bog this land is exclusively for graveyard hate, in my playgroup we got A LOT of decks playing from graveyard like Alesha, Meren, Muldrotha and exiling a graveyard in some moments is equal to win the game.
• Piranha Marsh a simply Rakdos enabler.
• Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep I love this and Shizo, Death's Storehouse , they have a powerful ability for a land.

Artifact

Nothing special here, Commander's Sphere and Sol Ring for mana, Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots for haste and protect our creatures.

• Cryptolith Fragment   I love this artifact. Mana rock and Rakdos enabler. Great. You'll never flip it, nevermind. All we need is on this side.
• Elbrus, the Binding Blade   13/13 FLYING, INTIMIDATE, TRAMPLE THAT GETS +13+13 WHEN SOMEONE DIE?? Too strong for letting him out.
• Finally, the superstar of this deck: Vedalken Orrery . With this you can cast Rakdos when someone attack another one, when the token guy attack someone doing 30 damage on turn 4 you can drop the Hiroshima and Nagasaki maniacally laughing.

Rakdos enabler

• Blightning Nice one for a small price.
• Pestilence and Pyrohemia They do the same thing for two different colors, also a mass removal
• Rakdos Charm a staple for us, graveyard hate + Rakdos enabler or player killer
• Unlicensed Disintegration removal + Rakdos enabler, win+win
• Sorin Markov +1 is really good for us but -3 ability is INSANE vs lifelinkers and you can do it on the turn you cast him!

Mass Removal

• Bontu's Last Reckoning cast it in early games just not to suffer from no mana in the next turn.
• Last One Standing that dice will never choose one of your creature, I warned you. Great removal for its cmc anyway.

To save our army I put Dark Dabbling also for draw a card.

Draw engine

• Phyrexian Arena The main card to draw in black.
• Ob Nixilis Reignited +1 ability is nice, another Phyrexian Arena.

Other cards

• Exhume I love exhume, you can put an Emrakul on turn 2/3 in the battlefield. Usually she don't last for many turns but I love the face of my oppo when I do.
• Temporal Extortion For have an oppo pay half of his life or you do an extra turn. Great one.
• Animate Dead see Exhume
• Fervor For Heartless Hidetsugu and our commander to kick some ass in the time he enter the battlefield.
• Gratuitous Violence more damage pls.
• Rage Reflection I SAID F*CKING MORE DAMAGE!
• Guild Feud Chaos in his purest form
• Havoc Festival It cost a little (nevermind, we are on edh, mana costs are not a problem) but you have Erebos, God of the Dead + Wound Reflection
• Mark of the Oni why not? We are plenty of demons
• Rain of Gore lifelinkers, I am talking to you
• Strands of Night To resume from graveyard our creatures
• Dark Ritual Simply mana ramp
• Hidetsugu's Second Rite Troll card, we got first rite ( Heartless Hidetsugu ) and of course the second.
• Imp's Mischief Nice save for low cmc
