Commander: Rakdos, Lord of Riots

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck executes an aggressive group-slug and aristocrats strategy led by Rakdos, Lord of Riots. The plan starts with persistent early pingers and Curses such as Curse of the Pierced Heart to deal reliable damage, enabling your commander to enter the battlefield early. Once active, Rakdos provides steep generic mana discounts that allow you to deploy massive Demons like Archfiend of Depravity, Dreadhound, and Rakdos the Defiler for minimal mana. You close out games through overwhelming flying combat damage, synergistic life-halving burst effects like Scourge of the Skyclaves paired with Warlock Class, and heavy drain triggers.
