Red Rakdos Devotion

Standard

Sideboard

This is essentially a Red Devotion deck with the black splash for hand disruption and (of course) Mogis. Playtesting this deck I found that the play style was interesting, introducing plenty of threats to the board but also adding the added hand disruption of Rakdos's Return and the sideboarded Thoughtseize.

I thought an interesting sideboard would be Underworld Cerberus. In a control matchup it would be interesting to see how this card would go, as it would be likely that when this is put on the battlefield, it is likely to have to be removed (woof). The consequences of this would refuel my hand completely with my graveyard.

I wasn't dissapointed with this deck! Really fun to play!

Game 1: I lost against a Mono-Black Devotion deck, I didn't manage to hit them hard enough with the Rakdos' Return which let me down a bit. My draws, despite subbing in ALL my removal, did not have any removal spells so I feel I was let down with my draw a bit in this game.

Game 2: I beat a Simic "Unexpected Results" deck, my deck was WAY to quick for this and won easily.

Game 3: I beat a Black-White Midrange(?). First round I lost to a board which got out of hand with both Obzedat AND Blood-Baron while I got poor land draws. Second round I won convincingly with a heavy board and a mana-starved opponent (turn 2 with 2 burning trees and a turn 3 stormbreath... brutal). Round 3 was more evenly matched, but my monster's dominated the field once again to become hard to deal with.

Game 4: MONO-RED!? Serious? Well... I was slightly behind my older brother, mono-red, but I ended up pulling my Stormbreath, thinking I had the win, which then resulted in him using Fanatic of Mogis for 8 and winning perfectly. I just needed the one more turn. Second game I tryed to be even faster, but my draws prooved unlikely to help and drawing into 3 of my nykthos lost me the game. I was quite dissapointed in this game. Well... upside playing with red decks is you have plenty of time to discuss Magic with the 30 minutes left on the timer!

Looking to remove a Nykthos and maybe switched out my Mogis' for Purphoros. I'll update the decklist soon.
