Part Four: Rakdos + Green=MEAN!-Revision (Standard Legal)
Today, I am revising the R+G=M! Deck from Part Two. I've noticed some of the cards in the deck don't really fit, and that there are some cards I have completely overlooked. Like this:
Old Deck:
Lands:
6 Forest
8 Swamp
5 Mountain
1 Blood Crypt
1 Rakdos Carnarium
2 Overgrown Tomb
1 Golgari Rot Farm
Creatures:
2 Rakdos the Defiler
2 Savra, Queen of the Golgari
2 Sek'kuar, Deathkeeper
4 Sakura tribe Elder
2 Ohran Viper
2 Raging Goblin
2 Rakdos Guildmage
2 Golgari Guildmage
2 Hand of Cruelty
Enchantments:
4 Golgari Germination
Sorceries:
4 Kodama's Reach
2 Lava Spike
Instants:
4 Last Gasp
2 Darkblast
----------------------------------
Revised Decklist:
Land:
7 Forest +1
3 Mountain -2
6 Swamp -2
1 Blood Crypt
3 Overgrown Tomb +1
3 Llanowar Wastes +3
1 Sulfurous Springs +1
Creature:
2 Rakdos the Defiler
2 Lyzolda, The Blood Witch +2
2 Sek'kuar, Deathkeeper
2 Savra, Queen of the Golgari
4 Nezumi Bone-Reader +4
4 Sakura Tribe Elder
2 Golgari Guildmage
2 Grave-Shell Scarab +2
Enchantment:
4 Grave Pact +4
4 Golgari Germination
Sorcery:
4 Kodama's Reach
2 Macabre Waltz +2
Instant:
2 Last Gasp -2
In the end: Use mana acceleration (Sakura Tribe Elder/Kodama's Reach) in the beginning. Kill off early threats with Last Gasp. Get the Grave Pacts and Golgari Germinations into play as early as possible. Once that is established, start sacrificing creatures and wreak havoc.
