Holy crap

I 2nd this.

Pretty much confirms I'm going Rakdos at the prerelease, in the hopes of getting this monster. The final tilt of the scale after dreadbore and Rak's Return.

Still picking Izzet, but I'd run Grixis for this guy alone!
So happy to see Rakdos gettin some love.

{Curse of the pierced heart} will actually see some constructed play.

But you can't cast him on your opponent's turn

I think rakdos will be a threat now! :(

I think with all these cards that deal with loss of life, {Curse of the pierced heart} might see some play, also {curse of bloodletting}

i,ll echo this. rakdos doesn't have flash so pierced heart doesn't do much.

Yea my bad, I was thinking it triggers on your upkeep and deals them damage then.

But man the possibilities are endless with this guy.  I just dealt 15 damage to you.....I will cast {Emerakul, Aeon of Torns} for {0}.  Ok 15 damage is a lot but even reducing CMC of say {4} means you can cast Titans for 2 colored mana.

I am in ❤ with Rakdos is all I am saying 😍 I liked it at first but this guy just made me a believer.

Combine this guy and {heartless summoning} equals lots and lots of really cheap creatures.

Yes. I'm do happy to see him. I really can't decide on rakdos or golgari now.

I think combining him with Eldrazi, or Artifact, or at a minimum creatures with only 1 color in their CMC will allow for a tremendous abuse of this dude.  Wow this guy has me excited.....I need to simmer down a bit  :)

Everyone! Stop using {Bump in the Night} for a coaster! Time to sleeve up!

Well technically you only get {2} off from your creature bc you spent one {B} to pay for BITN.

But for all your creatures, yes. Its a major upgrade investment. Standard is gunna be rocked by this and heartless summoning. You are gunna see T3-T4 Grizzels
