Uh... OwN is bad. That's how it goes. I can't think of a reason it should be run. If Rakdos is really as fast as it's looking, it won't need OwN. You just play cards. That's all. It empties your hand pretty well.
Don't forget about Uba Mask... no cards in hand. It also messes up your opponent pretty well. Bottled Cloister works well too, messing up WB Discard, giving you card advantage, and enabling Hellbent every opponent's turn.
Still, from what I've seen and heard Hellbent doesn't look too awesome. Unless every Rakdos card has Hellbent, I don't see them running it too heavily. It seems like one of those mechanics that just aren't useful enough to be competetive. How good is a deck that relies on topdecking ftw?
What would you do to *** if you didn't have any cards? Scoop.
That's what I thought at first. But then I realised, that's not what ability words are for. Hellbent is so simple that it doesn't need a keyword. It doesn't need reminder text; just a small line of rules text. Therefore, no need for a keyword.
Uhm... Vigilance? No need for a keyword there. Do we have one?
I don't care about any of this. This guild says "F*ck you, WB Discard!" That's all that matters.
But at any rate, I would say card #1 is plausible as a Rare... though not likely. And if it is... it could be played in other formats too. Can you say draw your deck = gg?
Card #2 is decent removal and again screws WB Discard which is awesome.
Card #3 is probably definately in the set, albeit not that exact copy. 4BR is too much... 3BR or BBRR sounds better.
I don't think Simic will have to do with Land Animation. They are Biologists, I think their ability will have something to do with creatures, something similar to Morph.
Uhm... contradiction wha? Do you know what a Biologist is? =/
But is it gaining the removed creature's abilities onto the target creature? If so, the wording would be different. Plus isn't that just weakening a solid creature by sticking it onto another, like an enchantment? Feels kind of like banding,no?
I think graft will be something more unique and twisted growth of nature ish.
Don't be dumb. Have you heard of Mortify? Sure.. you can try to kill my creature that I can put on my other creature and make your awesome creature removal spell fizzle, then play an awesome creature without Graft next turn. Where's your removal now? Oh, and that creature that I grafted it onto... that Ledgewalker... yeah. Now what?
Uhm... Followed Footsteps + Graft + Invisibility and/or Privileged Position + Mana Accel.
WUG ftw.
Bottled Cloister is good... but I don't see its value going up too drastically. Good in Izzet and Simic w/ countering possibilities vs. Arti-hate. That's about it. I guess Dimir too... but who plays that crap guild anymore?

No no... I mean WUG for the win... White/Blue/Green. And go ahead and cast that ***. I'll just counter it. And notice the words "Mana Accel".
-.-
By the time that you've dealt with Priveleged Position my ginormous beater would have killed you.
