Magic the Gathering Dissension Rakdos Bloodsport Precon Theme Deck (Reed Buy)

Magic the Gathering Dissension Rakdos Bloodsport Precon Theme Deck (Reed Buy)

You'll empty your hand the way you would with any other deck-by playing all your spells. You can dump plenty of one- and two-mana creatures on the table in the first few turns. Rakdos Signet will help you play your expensive spells quickly. Normally, you'd save your removal spells, such as Cackling Flames, for choice targets. With this deck, play them quickly just to keep your hand empty. Seal of Fire is doubly good. You can play it immediately, but you don't have to use it until the time is right.

If you have trouble getting rid of the last few land cards in your hand, Drekavac, Rakdos Guildmage, and Nihilistic Glee all give you ways to discard for fun and profit. Ignorant Bliss is a neat trick. It allows you to become hellbent at a moment's notice without permanently losing any cards.

Once your hand is empty, the fun really begins. Your 2/2 Gobhobbler Rats become vicious 3/2 regenerators. The flying Demon's Jesters become 4-power mega-threats. Slithering Shade wakes up and can go on the offensive. If your horde was wreaking havoc before they went hellbent, they'll be unstoppable afterward.
