I want to build a {Rakdos Lord of Riots} deck and I want it to be fairly competitive in multiplayer. Any cards I must play?
if you can give your red creatures indestructible then {Reiver Demon} and {Dread Cacodemon} is great for a one sided boardwipe
Nice I like those ideas! Thanks :P maybe I'll have something like {Eldrazi Monument} to make them indestructible
{Taurean Mauler} is probably the most reliable red creature in commander, so I recommend it for sure.
If you want to take advantage of haste ({Molten Primordial} for example), finding a way to do noncombat damage at instant speed so you can use Rakdos' mana discount first main phase can help a lot. {Staff of Nin} comes to mind.

Staff is always the very 1st card that I put into an EDH deck lol its in all of my decks lol :P
Yeah, I like it too. Howling mine, just for me! And ping, just 'cause.
Almost forgot though... With Rakdos, you can play colorless creatures completely for free if you hit hard enough. {Steel Hellkite} is a must, and you might even want to think about some Eldrazi. Even {Pathrazer of Ulamog} is really good when you get to cast it for free :P

I would but I'm gunna make my own proxy :P
Thanks though :D
Higher cost Artifact creatures that have a significant effect on the board are as follows
{Myr Battlesphere}
{Purphoros, God of the Forge}
{Platinum Emperion}
{Lodestone Golem}
{Stuffy Doll}
{Darksteel Juggernaut} (dependant on the amount of Artifacts you run)
{Thopter Assembly}
{Pentavus}
{Wurmcoul Engine}
{Scuttling Doom Engine}
{Darksteel Colossus}
{Blightsteel Colossus}
{Kudoltha Forgemaster}
{Platinum Archangel}
{Bosh Iron Golem} and finally
{Karn Silver Golem}
Thanks Munch!! Definitely using a few of those but tbh (so far I'm not really going into an artifact theme) so far my theme is {Mass Hysteria} into tons of combat phases!! I also am a douche and run {Triskillion} + {Mikeous the Unhallowed} just bc I want a way to end the game if need be :D
I need a quicker way to bring out Rakdos. Right now I have a few small creatures to deal damage and I have bolt and a couple other. Burn spells but he isn't coming out fast enough for my liking :( any suggestions?
you should run {mana barbs} and {Sulfuric Vortex} they will help get him out faster

Thing is, is that they need to lose life on my turn so I can cast him {Rakdos Lord of Riots}
Although those cards are good I can't make them tap for mana on my turn :(
This would be for later game but maybe a {Pestilence}

oh forgot {Vedalken Orrery} this also lets you play him anytime an opponent attacks another opponent or does damage which will let you cast all your creatures on your opponents turns for free if enough damage is dealt you can empty your hand every turn
