New Untitled Deck by GavinB98

Format: Commander

Commander: Rakdos, the Muscle

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Rakdos, the Muscle is a sacrifice-value engine and combo anchor. The deck deploys cheap creatures and rituals to cast Rakdos early, then turns each sacrifice into exile-card advantage and mana. The primary win is an infinite sacrifice loop: Forsaken Miner returns off Rakdos's crime trigger through Phyrexian Altar while Blood Artist drains the table. Secondary lines use the Dualcaster Mage / Molten Duplication / Saw in Half copy loop, and Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER // Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel acts as a hidden commander: after four death triggers it transforms and creates an emblem that converts every future death into drain. Tutors and fast mana let the deck pivot between these lines. Commander dependence is moderate: without Rakdos the deck still has independent loops, but loses its theft/draw engine.
