Deck overview

This deck is a Rakdos aggressive aristocrats build helmed by Ingris Stingerquill. The primary strategy converts wide creature boards into unavoidable burn by leveraging Ingris's ability to deal 1 damage to each opponent whenever any creature attacks. Supported by Goblin token producers like Goblin Rabblemaster, Krenko, Mob Boss, and Siege-Gang Commander, the deck rapidly scales its attack count to pressure all opponents simultaneously. Secondary aristocrat pieces including Bastion of Remembrance, Mayhem Devil, and Goblin Bombardment convert blocked or targeted creatures into direct damage, giving the deck reach to close games when combat stalls. Highly efficient removal spells like Deadly Rollick, Snuff Out, and Terminate keep opposing threats in check without stalling early development. However, the deck operates with minimal card draw and virtually no protection against sweepers, making it vulnerable to well-timed board resets.
