Deck overview

This deck is a Rakdos Forced Combat and Aristocrats strategy led by Kardur, Doomscourge. Its goal is to control the table's combat steps, forcing opponents to attack and destroy each other while protecting your life total. Early turns deploy mana acceleration, fodder creatures, and aristocrat drain engines like Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, and Mirkwood Bats. On Turn 4, casting Kardur forces all opposing creatures into mutual combat, triggering life loss whenever attacking creatures die. The deck sustains this pressure by repeatedly triggering Kardur with blink artifacts like Conjurer's Closet and Golden Argosy, myriad via Blade of Selves, and resurrection spells like Undying Malice. As opponents deplete their life totals and creature boards through forced attacks, the deck finishes the game around Turn 7 using token swarms, aristocrat sacrifice bursts, or a well-timed Blasphemous Act.
