EDH Deck Tech: Rakdos, the Showstopper Demon Tribal

[@Mid-Tyr]

Great deck had some awesome ideas, I personally went with Lord of Riots as I value the cost reduction over the removal. I find that this allows me to get away with leaning more into valuable creatures and stronger Demons without the strain of their mana cost being an issue. Demon tribal surprisingly adds a lot of card draw when combined with conventional means allowing for a smooth gameplay experience paired with Lord of Riots.

To counter this deck I use maskwood nexus. My creatures are all creature type now. Can't use rakdos ability on me.

[@kellcifur6985]

About to make this deck with a helm of the host/strionic resonator combo

[@scottvandersluys1252]

He man great deck. Me and my playgroup picked random commanders to build around and mine is rakdos the showstoper. I need a bit of your advice it needs to be demon tribal. And can only cost 50 euro outside the lands and commander. So do you got some tips for me what to cut and what to do? Its for free for all with 4 peopel

[@snowcoveredplainswalker442]

Absolutely, find me on Twitter @ BrianTheBrewer_ and I'll message with you about how to tune it to that price range

I don't see a ton of card draw in the deck. Are you finding yourself having issues with keeping consistent handsizes? (Obviously, it's a whole nother game with Sire out, but I mean in all other scenarios)

[@snowcoveredplainswalker442]

Hey there! The deck has undergone some changes since this video but, I don't often find handsize to be an issue, since the deck is fully prepped to tutor up Sire and resolve it, and even reanimate it if it dies, which is does almost every game, so rather than true draw, I mostly opt for things like Sin Prodder, Bolas' Citadel and Stolen Strategy to get my card advantage, which has been working incredibly well ever since. In games where I just can't find Sire or he gets exiled, these forms of advantage still serve well enough, while I resort to a demon beats/Rakdos CMDR damage victory, which is moderately effective but I won't claim it's award winning lol. Hope this helped!
