Deck overview

This is a turbo-damage deck centered on Rakdos, Lord of Riots and his cost-reduction ability. The primary game plan is to deal at least 1 damage to an opponent on each of your turns so you can cast Rakdos early, then use the huge discount on creature spells to dump oversized Eldrazi (Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth) and giant demons for pennies. The deck also packs reanimation (Reanimate, Living Death), direct-damage enablers (Purphoros, God of the Forge, Plague Spitter), and a compact infinite loop with Ancestral Statue that bounces itself repeatedly while triggering an ETB-damage source. Secondary plans include Sneak Attack to bury opponents with annihilator triggers and Blade of Selves to spread the pain.
