Deck overview

This Rakdos deck operates as an aggressive Aristocrats strategy led by Orcus, Prince of Undeath. It establishes an early board presence using low-cost creatures, aggressive beaters, and disposable tokens. Mid-game turns leverage sacrifice outlets like Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, and Carrion Feeder alongside burn engines such as Mayhem Devil, Judith, the Scourge Diva, and Garna, Bloodfist of Keld to convert creature deaths into direct damage and card flow. Orcus, Prince of Undeath serves as a modal payoff from the command zone, acting either as a scalable board wipe against opposing swarms or as a mass reanimation spell that grants haste for explosive combat steps. The deck applies steady pressure from Turn 5 onward, closing out games by Turn 8 through cumulative combat damage and aristocrat burn.
