This is my Rakdos deck, which combines my previous Rakdos Beatdown and Rise of the Skeletons and Phyrexians decks. In this version, I have Forsaken Miner and Corpses of the Lost
as early threats, which benefit from each other. Corpses of the Lost
has also nice synergies with Bloodtithe Harvester
. The end game plan is to provide haste to Archfiend of the Dross
with Reckless Stormseeker // Storm-Charged Slasher
.
This is my own brew.
Skeletons can deal a hefty deal of damage in the early game, if left unchecked. It's nice that Corpses of the Lost gives haste, which makes Forsaken Miners an instant threat dealing 3 or more damage. There are no Cult Conscripts in the deck, before it does not benefit from haste from Corpses of the Lost. Tinybones, the Pickpocket
is not included, because it's legendary and hits just for 1.
The late game idea of the deck is to deal huge amounts of unblockable damage with Archfiend of the Dross, which can gain haste from Reckless Stormseeker.
The removal package is a pretty normal one for a Rakdos deck. Notably, there's Bitter Triumph, which can be used to discard Forsaken Miner, Tenacious Underdog
, or an extra land into the graveyard, triggering the descend ability of Corpses of the Lost
. You can even discard Forsaken Miner
to Bitter Triumph and then immediately return it to the battlefield by paying 1 black mana.
Sokenzan and Takenuma can be used to trigger the descend ability of Corpses of the Lost in addition to their normal use. There are 2 Sokenzans and 2 Takenumas in the deck so that you have more chances to channel a land.
The deck deploys 3 Mishra's Foundries as man-lands. The reason for not using Restless Vents is that they come into play tapped and therefore they are not very aggro-deck-friendly, slowing you down. Mishra's Foundries come into play untapped and they can gain haste from Reckless Stormseeker // Storm-Charged Slasher
so that they can attack immediately. You cannot do this with tapped man-lands, which are haste-unfriendly.
Bloodtithe Harvester can be sacrificed to trigger the descend ability of Corpses of the Lost. Similarly, the blood token from Bloodtithe Harvester can be used to trigger the descend ability of Corpses of the Lost, when you discard a permanent card to the blood token (it does not work with non-permanent cards).
Probabilities are on the play / on the draw.
