Description

Rakdos comes partied up nicely in this budget(ish) aggro package. The fully realized version of this deck relies heavily on Magmatic Channeler to dig for what you need, and Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats to bring the deathtouch beatdown upon your opponent. Ideally, with Zag on the field all of your Fireblade Chargers become horrid little death bombs. 

Since I'm low on wildcards, I had to make due with what I had! I replaced the missing Zagraths with extra copies of Deadly Alliance for slaying power, switched out the Channelers for some common Fissure Wizard gobbos, and swapped the 2 Coveted Prizes for a couple of Grim Tutors. There is definitely plenty of room for  interpretation here, but don't sink a lot of wilds into this one. When it draws well it's an absolute blast, and your opponents will be left scratching their heads, but it still gets outclassed pretty easily by all the ramp and aggro out there. Enjoy! 

Based on Absurd Heroine's MUCH more lethal version:
