Introduction

Rakdos, Lord of Riots is a very powerful general in commander, as he has an immpressive 6/6 flying and trampling body for 4 mana, and also makes our spells cost less for each life our opponents lose, which can make big spells cheap fast.

This deck is built to take advantage of this life-loss effect on the lower end of the curve, allowing us to curve out with massive threats rather quickly.

One thing to note: This type of strategy wants you to be aggressive in your life loss, as the grouphate you will be throwing will likely make enemies with the rest of the table rather quickly.

The Manabase

I won't go too deep into our manabase, as most of it is budget duals and basics. The wtwo cards to really note here are Piranha Marsh since it can make an opponent lose life, and Flamekin Village can give our threats haste.

1 Drops

Faithless Looting: The best cantrip we could really ask for in our colors, looting allows us to keep what we like and pitch what we don't.

Goblin Fireslinger: Life loss is really big in this deck, and being able to do it as quickly as turn 2 is spectacular.

Nihil Spellbomb: With graveyard strategies being so relevent in commander, it is important to play gravehate; and being able to cycle this if needed is even better.

Vandalblast: Non-symmetrical artifact hate is sweet, and we can cast it for 1 mana if needed.
