Deck overview

This is a Rakdos aggressive combat-and-sacrifice deck helmed by Ares, God of War, whose attack-trigger recursion (returning dying attackers to hand) fuels a repeatable attack-then-sacrifice loop. The primary plan is to deploy cheap attackers, force combat through goad and "attacks each combat if able" effects, then convert those bodies into damage and value - either by sacrificing them to Goblin Bombardment and Mayhem Devil for direct drain, or by amplifying a lethal swing with Fiery Emancipation, Gratuitous Violence, and Avatar of Slaughter. Secondary lines include extra combats via Combat Celebrant and graveyard recursion through Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate, Carnage, Crimson Chaos, and Rakdos Joins Up. The deck is a midrange aggro pile that wins through incremental drain and one massive doubled combat step rather than a compact combo.
