Rakdos decks tend to be explosive and combotastic. Always appreciate a grindier, value-oriented take on the color combination. I once did something similar with Kardur ETBs.
masterpiece, this has me excited to make a deck like this. if i make any tweaks, itll be minor because you really nailed the fun factor in how you went about this! thanks for another great video!
I love this! I just built a Jaxis deck that is super fun, but I really love what you've done with this seemingly underwhelming commander. I may have to give this a shot.
super sweet deck! I think cantripping effects like forever young or bone harvest might be sweet too they put creatures on top of your library at instant speed lands like mortuary mire help with doing the same absolute allstar in my eyes would be haunted crossroads though
Yeah when I first saw this, I thought it seemed a little boring as well. But after taking another look at it, it’s actually kind of a fantastic value engine. In RB there are so many good ETB/LTB triggers and I could see some good decks built around this. One card that seems really good with him is Living Lightning. Sac him and get one of your instants/sorceries back. Seems good. Really any creatures that die/ETB and get something back from the graveyard would be solid since you’re sacking and discarding so much. Keep the ball rolling.
With steal effects you can have Nightmare shepherd and that new vampire to exile them from opponents graveyard after you have sacrificed them and now you have a token copy of their creature while its also exiled.
I wonder if this commander is optimal for some kind of combo. This does allow to tutor any creature into play, given that you built the deck correctly. Also another cute thing to do with this commander in a lower curve deck is get out Asmoranomardicardaistinaculdacar off of a 1 drop.
@@dariocampanella7992 good idea, though it can be awkward to rely on your opponents to play sufficiently expensive creatures. Combo decks might get boring to play quickly, but they're still fun to build.
I may be mistaken but I dont believe the stealing part works bc it is an "until end of turn" not a triggered ability so you cant stack it and they just return automatically.
Kethek's ability allows you to sacrifice a creature at the beginning of the end step. Cards that you've stolen "until end of turn" are still under your control at the beginning of the end step.

Kardur ETBs sounds sweet. Do you have a list online?

I had a pauper EDH deck built with this exact strategy. Thank you for making this video, and many more like it! You are a godsend.

Sundial of the infinite and the encore mechanic would be some good additions to this deck I think!
super sweet deck!

Seems like a sweet commander, I might have to go brew it myself

Seems like a good secret commander for henzie or chainer
I think cards like flameshadow conjuring and phyrexian reclamation/tortured existance would be amazing fits aswell.

Unearth exiles the creature when it leaves the battlefield though, for the rest I love the ideas
I put Dreamshaper Shaman into my Feldon deck for the same reason, extra value.

If you put treason effects and only the combo creatures in the deck then you have your combo. But those decks gets boring pretty soon

@@HansSjunnesson ah i wasn't sure if the return happened at the end step or at cleanup
I’d also put Mikaeus the Unhallowed in there.
Darn totally started brewing a list in my head to have the mono red Grenzo as secret commander. But he only grabs nonlegendary creature
yes but still a great commander for any non-legendary secret commander.
Why no Heartless Summoning? It's so strong in this deck and almost everything is compatible with it.
you're right. great include.

Was sure you were going to say Chainer
isnt the token 0 cmc
I believe I found a new home for my 25 Relentless Rats.
reverse birthing pod is weird
