Rakdos Lord of Riots Semi Comp

[Mattao19]

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?

[AdamS]

if you can give your red creatures indestructible then {Reiver Demon} and  {Dread Cacodemon} is great for a one sided boardwipe

[Mattao19]

Nice I like those ideas! Thanks 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

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

If i can grab them then definitely those cards are unbelievable bombs!! but some are kinda pricey

[Munchlax]

I could look at all the bombs in my Animar deck

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
