Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Shadow the Hedgehog leads an aggressive Rakdos combat and attrition deck that leverages haste, menace, and treasure ramp to pressure life totals while protecting its spells. Shadow provides uncounterable split-second spells when paying with artifact mana and replaces dying haste or flash creatures with fresh card draw. The primary path to victory is continuous combat pressure backed by double strike from Raphael, the Nightwatcher, goblin swarm output from Krenko, Mob Boss, and steady life drain from Court of Ambition and Perforating Artist. A heavy suite of targeted removal clears opposing blockers and key threats, allowing your attackers to close out the game.
