Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Rakdos group-slug and combo strategy commanded by Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls. The game plan revolves around deploying low-cost passive damage sources that guarantee opponents lose life during their own turns. Each life-loss event triggers Valgavoth, growing the commander into a massive flying threat while drawing up to three extra cards per table rotation. The deck leverages this steady stream of card advantage to assemble protective redirection spells and its signature two-card infinite combo: Exquisite Blood paired with Sanguine Bond or Bloodthirsty Conqueror. Once both pieces are present, any instance of life loss or gain triggers an unstoppable loop that drains every opponent to zero life. Backup win conditions include massive mana sinks like Exsanguinate, devastating group-slug attrition with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, and combat damage.
