Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Rakdos deck is built around life-loss triggers and damage multipliers, helmed by Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls. The primary game plan is to drain opponents through a suite of punishing enchantments and creatures like Underworld Dreams, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, and Sulfuric Vortex, while assembling infinite combos like Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond or Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top to close the game. Valgavoth provides incremental card draw and growth whenever opponents lose life, fueling the strategy.
