Deck overview

This Rakdos deck is led by Magar of the Magic Strings and built around a unique game-show exhibition theme. It combines an entire suite of Fallout Bobbleheads with chaotic voting, bidding, and subgame sorceries such as Goblin Game, Game of Chaos, Prisoner's Dilemma, and Choice of Damnations. Despite its playful minigame exterior, the deck features a potent reanimator spellslinger engine. By using cards like Entomb, Faithless Looting, and Unmarked Grave to deposit expensive spells into the graveyard, Magar can animate them as face-down 3/3 creatures for just three mana. Connecting with these creatures casts copies of the noted spells for free. The deck's primary win condition is animating Savage Beating, which grants infinite combat phases on Turn 5 to eliminate all opponents in a single turn. Backup lines lean on massive swings from Breach the Multiverse and Blood for the Blood God!.
