Deck overview

This is a Rakdos Demon tribal deck helmed by Raphael, Fiendish Savior, built around a critical mass of high-impact Demons, a life-gain/life-drain engine, and a compact combo finish. Raphael provides the tribal glue - +1/+1 and lifelink to Demons, Devils, Imps, and Tieflings - while generating 1/1 Devil tokens whenever a creature card hits the graveyard from anywhere. The primary win is the Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood infinite life-drain loop, with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose as a redundant piece, backed by alternate wins in Liliana's Contract, Revel in Riches, and Aetherflux Reservoir. The deck plays as a midrange value pile: deploy Demons for ETB/activated value, tutor for the combo, and close with the loop or a swarm of pumped Devils.
