Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Rakdos cheat and reanimation engine commanded by The Infamous Cruelclaw. The central game plan focuses on deploying Cruelclaw on turn 2 or 3, equipping it with unblockable or protective gear, and dealing combat damage to exile into massive high-mana spells cast for free by discarding a card. The 99 is densely packed with devastating bombs such as Archon of Cruelty, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, Archfiend of Despair, and Breach the Multiverse. In the event that Cruelclaw is contained, the deck seamlessly pivots to a standalone reanimation plan utilizing Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Sneak Attack to bypass mana costs. Robust interaction and targeted protection safeguard the combat step, turning single successful swings into overwhelming board states.
