Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Rakdos strategy led by Ingris Stingerquill, focusing on converting wide token swarms into inevitable table-wide burn. Ingris turns every attacking creature into direct noncombat damage aimed at each opponent before blockers are declared. The list is packed with efficient low-mana token generators like Bitterblossom, Loyal Apprentice, and Urabrask's Forge that establish board presence in the early turns. Once the swarm is online, damage amplifiers such as Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, and Mishra, Claimed by Gix multiply this damage output, turning small 1/1 tokens into lethal global strikes that deal 15 to 20+ damage per turn across the table. Additional combat engines like Aggravated Assault and Karlach, Fury of Avernus provide explosive closing speed or infinite loops with Neheb, the Eternal. Backed by cheap removal, free protection spells, and efficient card advantage engines, the deck closes games quickly and resiliently.
