Budget Rakdos Aggro 0 cards, 15 sideboard 12 {Swamp} 10 {Mountain} 22 lands 4 {Rakdos Cackler} 3 {Hellrider} 3 {Cryptborn Horror} 4 {Drainpipe Vermin} 4 {Rakdos Shred-Freak} 4 {Tormented Soul} 4 {Hellhole Flailer} 26 creatures 4 {Deviant Glee} 4 {Mind Rot} 4 {Crippling Blight} 12 other spells Sideboard 4 {Rakdos Charm} 4 {Rix Maadi Guildmage} 2 {Havoc Festival} 1 {Desecration Demon} 4 {Blood Reckoning} 15 sideboard cards Notes: This deck is simple in essence, preferable start is rackdos cackler turn 1, then rakdos shrewd-freak turn 2 hitting for 4 damage turn 2. Crippling blight keeps opponent at bay, while you pool in resources, and maybe attach some deviant glees to tormented soul, to hit for even more damage no matter what each turn. If needed bring in Rackdos, and rackdos charm & the rakdos guildmage are solid sideboard cards. |

Rakdos I believe is better because if your opponent has a flying creature to block with, rakdos has trample, and unlike desecration demon, it doesn't have an alternate way to keep it at bay
I honestly like {Desecration Demon} over {Rakdos, Lord of Riots}. The demon is a little easier to reach than rakdos.

True. I've tried both of them and I just found the demon to be a bit easier to get out.
Quote from: Silent1236 on January 07, 2013, 06:29:45 PMWell one way to use it is to attach it to {Tourmented Soul} and not ever have to use the trample ability. But if I follow your advice on the {desecration demon} rakdos swap, then I can make {desecration demon} so much more of a threat. I like it because the easy damage it can produce early game. Hence why it's in an aggro deck. Hope that helped.
No problem! How does {Deviant Glee} work out? I've often wondered if it would be worth throwing in a deck. It just seems kinda odd that it gives trample lol
