Rakdos Aggro (Collection Only)
AlchemyDeck Strategy
An aggressive black-red deck that uses cheap creatures and efficient removal to overwhelm opponents early, with a low mana curve for fast wins.
Unstoppable Slasher recurs each turn, providing persistent pressure. Vincent Valentine is a hasty menace threat. Enduring Courage grants haste to all creatures for explosive attacks. Starving Revenant offers flying and card filtering. Cheap removal like Hero's Downfall and Choreographed Sparks clears blockers quickly.
Keep hands with two or more lands and at least one two-drop creature or removal spell. Avoid hands with only three-drops or expensive cards.
Early: Play a one-drop (Kellan, Stalactite Stalker) or two-drop (Unstoppable Slasher, Vincent Valentine) on turn two. Use Choreographed Sparks or Sheoldred's Edict to remove early threats. Mid: Deploy Enduring Courage to give haste to all creatures, attack with everything. Use Hero's Downfall to clear larger blockers. Starving Revenant provides evasion. Late: Finish with direct damage from Choreographed Sparks or Reckless Blaze. Unstoppable Slasher and Nine-Lives Familiar keep coming back.
Vulnerable to board wipes and lifegain. Lacks card draw beyond the initial hand. Mardu Outrider and some three-drops are weaker to removal.
