The intent of the deck is to assemble Raxodia: Rakdos the Defiler + Assault Suit + Tormentor's Trident + Darksteel Plate + Whispersilk Cloak. This creates an Kobayashi Maru situation for your opponents, as Rakdos will be nigh-unremovable and pseudo-goaded. There is a way to overcome Raxodia requiring no particular cards, only decision making and cooperation among the opponents, but so far nobody I've played against has solved the scenario.
