Rakdos Reanimate by JesseBright0

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Chainer, Nightmare Adept commands a Rakdos reanimation and madness toolbox deck. It leverages discard outlets and wheels to pitch devastating threats like Archon of Cruelty, Grave Titan, and Kokusho, the Evening Star into the graveyard. Chainer provides immediate haste and cast-from-graveyard capability, turning pitched creatures into instant board pressure. The deck wins by repeatedly cycling high-impact enter-the-battlefield and death triggers, generating explosive board states via mass recursion spells like Living Death and Breach the Multiverse, and draining life totals with Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Bolas's Citadel.
