Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a turbo Rakdos storm/combo list helmed by Shadow the Hedgehog. The plan is classic cEDH-style: dump fast mana and rituals, dig with Ad Nauseam, Necropotence, wheels, and tutors, then empty the tank into a storm kill (Tendrils of Agony, Grapeshot, Aetherflux Reservoir) or a Breach/Dualcaster line. Shadow the Hedgehog is a 4-mana haste body whose Chaos Control ability gives every spell cast with artifact mana split second, turning the combo turn into a near-uninteractable lockout; his death trigger also refuels off flash/haste creatures. Secondary engines include Underworld Breach, Bolas's Citadel, Magda, Brazen Outlaw treasure lines, and copy loops with Dualcaster Mage. The deck is extremely low-curve (AMV ~1.97), artifact-dense, and built to win through the stack rather than combat.
