+1. I love Rakdos decks and I love creative decks that do not follow any tier.

I'd add a couple of Slaughter Games to the sideboard and maybe some Rakdos Charm .

Take a look at my Rakdos Infection deck and comment and upvote if you like :) I'm open to some suggestion as well :)

Hey thanks Walrusyn for the suggestions and the upvote. I'll definitely throw those in the sideboard. I'm all about creativity :). I'll look at yours and upvote as well.

You should use Godless shrine instead of some swamps so you can play reckoner easier

All I have is 2 Temple of Silence 's right now will that work for you?

I completely forgot that Cavern of Souls is out. I was thinking of my Standard Sliver deck. Derp. Also, I missed the thought of Boros Reckoner eating removal spells. Most players won't know if you're running something to abuse his ability so 2 of is ok, but add another Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . +1 for the great idea with a rarely seen tribe.

Thanks for the upvote Ryuga and yeah I could use one more Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx cuz I playtested earlier and land draws were sometimes an issue. Other than that I'm just waiting on a 1-drop Minotaur haha. Appreciate the help man! Everybody's suggestions have been either added in the deck now or sideboarded or greatly put into consideration. This deck now isn't only mine anymore it's all of ours and has become a nice surprising threat in standard :)

And also pooped on by my deck: Sylvan Colossuses (Colosseese? Colossi?) Hahaha but in his defense he got mana screwed. Wicked deck to play against though.

If you want to see where I got my ideas my Mogis' Fanatics deck now appears on my profile.

Just throwing it out there, but if splash just a little white mana with shock or scry lands, you could add Boros Charm and be looking at an opportunity with Boros Reckoner to lead to an infinite life combo.

Jsouth1217 says... #11

Yeah I know that combo pretty well. Any suggestions as to what you'd switch out for the splash?

I'd swap out at least the Titan's Strength and maybe one Dreadbore for 2-3 Boros Charm . Whip of Erebos already gives lifelink. Then maybe swap out some 4 swamps for a play set of Godless Shrine or Temple of Silence and/or 4 mountains for a play set of Sacred Foundry or Temple of Triumph .

Not entirely sure about the number of white mana producers you would need given that you are really looking at a three white mana symbols in a 60 card deck. The more you include, the more you slow down your deck, unless you are always shocking yourself with the shock lands. And, of course, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx can produce white, too. I'd be more inclined to slow the black side of your deck than the red, as red seems to be your primary.

Thanks lantern2814 I'll make the changes asap and see where it goes. I do believe making these changes deserves a +1 huh? Lol jk thanks for the advice though especially in keeping the curve decent.

There is not enough lands in this deck to use a 5 drop consistently

DjinnjerVitis says... #22

drop the 2 Door of Destinies and add 2 lands....that door is way too slow for standard....slivers dont even use it.

October 11, 2013 9:34 a.m.

lantern2814 says... #23

I'd actually agree about dropping the Door of Destinies . They are terribly slow. Maybe main board Anger of the Gods in it's place.

Jsouth1217 says... #24

Thank you Snowblindblitz for the upvote! Krimson_Knight and DjinnjerVitis I took out the Door of Destinies for two lands.
