Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Rakdos aristocrats and combo engine commanded by Grenzo, Dungeon Warden. The deck is built with an intentionally low creature power curve, allowing Grenzo to be cast for just two mana (X=0) while still putting more than twenty creatures directly onto the battlefield with his activated ability. The primary game plan accelerates into an infinite colorless mana loop using Workhorse and The Cauldron of Eternity, which allows Grenzo to put every creature from the library into play. From there, ETB damage and drain loops through Archon of Cruelty, Combustible Gearhulk, and Massacre Wurm eliminate all opponents on the spot. Bottom-deck filtering spells like Fire Prophecy and Volcanic Spite double as creature removal while tucking key payoffs to be flipped immediately by Grenzo.
