Deck overview

This deck is a Rakdos Madness Aggro-Attrition build piloted by Anje Falkenrath. The strategy uses Anje's haste and tap-to-loot ability in combination with roughly 36 madness cards to rapidly cycle through the library without spending additional mana. While churning through cards, the deck casts cost-discounted madness threats like Kitchen Imp, Bloodmad Vampire, and Shadowgrange Archfiend at instant speed. The primary mid-game plan transitions into asymmetric attrition using Archfiend of Ifnir to sweep opposing creature boards with -1/-1 counters on every discard, or Feast of Sanity and Magmakin Artillerist to convert discards directly into player damage. Without dedicated fast mana or infinite combos, the deck relies on a high land count to reliably cast Anje on Turn 3 and close out games via wide combat damage and discard burn by Turn 9.
