best deck / theme to use him in? I own a playset and hate seeing them in my binder.
suggestions?
Personally i use him in a bwr deck to drop Avacyn, Angel of Hope and other big creatures with relative ease.

I would think going Jund would be better for Rakdos, Lord of Riots
. Though, you don't have to go reanimator to get around his draw back. It's pretty easy for red and black to be dealing damage turn 4 through shear creatures.
I think going reanimator could be a lot of fun, but not that it would make the best use of his effect.

Chandra, the Firebrand works to get him out fairly easily. At least 4/5 times that's how I do it.

How about him in the same deck as Master of Cruelties ? Since their life total becomes 1 they technically "lose life" and you can cast him. THEN depending on how much life they have lost, you can drop the rest of your hand for a couple of mana and swing for victory (if your opponent doesn't have a sweeper ready)

Hmmm starting to think a Heartless Summoning deck may prove once again viable in standard...

I second the suggestion about Blood Artist . Maybe build a RBW reanimator deck with Faithless Looting and Unburial Rites . It could then become a waaaaay different version of an Aristocrats deck if you wanted to go that way with it.
