Retuned this deck from previous versions. With more low to the ground attackers that generate treasure it is easy to see Rakdos hit turn 3. Unanswered makes for a powerful turn four. I don't think it is cEDH viable but a strong casual contender.

Win cons are infinite ETBs along side purphorous and molten gatekeeper. Alternatively there are loss of life doubling with skyclaves/heartless hidetsuga and wound reflection/ archfiend of despair. Otherwise the big threats in the deck are there for card draw and other types of protection.

I probably could cut the big beaters for more tutors to make the combos more consistent, and maybe I will, but I want a bit more variance in the deck, because it is still fun to win with big beaters.
