Rakdos by Swendon

Format: Commander

Commander: Rakdos, Lord of Riots

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Aggressive Rakdos build that converts cheap one-damage pings (Spear Spewer, Nettle Drone, Stormfist Crusader) into a massive cost-reduction engine once Rakdos, Lord of Riots is on the battlefield. The primary plan is to assemble the Ancestral Statue loop-replaying Statue for reduced cost while Nettle Drone untaps and pings, or while Bontu's Monument drains-to kill all opponents; tutors and Rune-Scarred Demon find the missing pieces. Secondary paths use Heartless Hidetsugu with Solphim, or Scourge of the Skyclaves/Wound Reflection doubling life loss, and big Eldrazi/Chandra's Ignition as beatdown finishers. No hidden commander; the deck is commander-centric.
