Do you like beating you opponents face with fast aggro?

Do you giggle like a girl when you remove any creature that enters the battlefield?

Do you enjoy watching your opponents mind breakdown as they try and decipher what kind of deck you're playing?

Do you not play well with others?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above then this is the deck for you!

So this is a deck that I have been brewing up for a while now and I think it has finally taken form. It has been one of the most fun decks for me to play just with the versatility in the amount of post-sideboard routes I can take. The main gist of the deck is your straight forward Rakdos aggro with some midrange-y cards thrown in there. These cards typically get you to game 2 in which everyone sideboards an enormous amount of hate for you. Post sideboard is where this deck shines. In control matches or matches that bring in terrible amounts of hate for aggro you take out:

-4xRakdos cacklers

-4x Tormented Hero

-3x Mogis's Marauder

And you side in:

4xThoughtseize

3xDuress

3xRakdos's Return

3x Ultimate Price

2xDevour Flesh

The idea is to completely change your line of play and leave them off creatures to play and no cards in hand. Rakdos's Return absolutely shreds control match ups when you can bait or strip a removal spell by playing a Duress/Thoughtseize first and go in and wipe away their hand leaving you clear to drop your creatures and swing uncontested.

I like to leave the Spike Jesters in typically because 1. They're fast and 2. They eat removal like no one's business which clears me to go for a Desecration Demon.

The hope is to never have to go past game 2 but in the rare event that does happen you do have the choice of re-sideboarding in all of your aggro again and catch you opponent off guard who just sided for a controlling game.

This deck is still a work in progress and any comments/criticizes are more than welcome.

Utterly terrible night for magic. The kind of nights that you play and you're almost sure that your own deck has been stacked against you. Out of every game, but one, I had to take a mulligan. Each opening hand was either 5 lands or 1, and the mulligans were equally poor which caused me to use unfavorable hands. Welp, that's the way Magic goes.
