For a total of 38 Cards
Good deal of draw effect to keep a good hand and find the Rakdos
Good amount of direct damage, sometime to multiples opponents at same time
Got a few lifelink to help with the life count
Good blocking / attacking creatures.
I just hope that the mana drop won't be a problem... Might have to eliminate another 2 cards to have a 36/24 ratio..
Am I too scarce on the availability of the low casting costs cards? I basically begin at CVC of 2 with the Swiftfoot Boots and most of the damage dealing creatures are at 3..
I'm in the process of building a new deck for casual Multiplayer games.
We are 3 to 5 players that gather in our MTG evenings.
I've got the Rakdos, Lord of Riots card from the Return to Ravnica serie and I was thinking about building a deck base on its cost reduction ability and, at the same time, I wanted to use the fact that I can do some repetitive damage but to all the opponents / players at the same time for maximum effectiveness.
So basically, I had in mind:
1. Lifelink to replenish the damage done
2. Bloodthirst to gain advantage with damage done to opponent in addition to Rakdos
3. Need some cards that makes me draw to keep a minimum hand size.
The Griselbrand, Skarrgan Firebird, and Rakdos Ragemutt goes with this thinking but can be exchange without problems.
The Vampire Nighthawk makes a nice defense early on with a bit of lifelink opportunity.
The Browbeat can be used for either the damage done or the cards draw.
So I think I'll start with a first (final) draft of my deck being as follow:
3 Rakdos, Lord of Riots
4 Lobber Crew
2 Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
4 Vampire Nighthawk
4 Ogre Battledriver
2 Neheb, the Eternal
2 Wurmcoil Engine
2 Knollspine Dragon
2 Pestilence Demon
2 Griselbrand
3 Browbeat
3 Recover
Artifacts
3 Swiftfoot Boots
2 Champion's helm
Land
1 Reliquary Tower

Am I too scarce on the availability of the low casting costs cards? I basically begin at CVC of 2 with the Swiftfoot Boots and most of the damage dealing creatures are at 3..
I've seen the Champion's helm for backup to boost the strength and protect my main creatures Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Griselbrand.
Could try to work a change for 2 Dragonlord Kolaghan too for the haste ability.
I just stumble upon the Thunder Brute. Not bad but still a big casting cost.
On the other hand, some Anger might also do the trick!
With those, It could be a pretty strong deck. Just a bit slow if I don't start with a Rakdos in the 4 first turns...
I got 4 Dragonskull summit, 4 Rakdos Guildgate and 1 Blood crypt. The rest is Mountain and Swamp for now.
