(Full Ravnica cube - Nassim Ketita)

Nothing says "all-in" more than Rakdos's two mechanics. Hellbent rewards you for dumping your whole hand as quickly as possible, and unleash exemplifies the always-be-attacking strategy. I plan to make this guild as aggressive as possible, so curve is going to be really important. There won't be too many expensive cards unless they're completely bananas.

I rather like this mix of creatures with one exception: Rakdos the Defiler. The card is just awful in most decks, and if were to include it in my Cube, I can be sure it will go last pick almost every time. There are a few too many noncreatures, so I'll be cutting the ones I deem to be either too weak, to be not interesting enough, or to have too much similarity to other cards in the Cube.

This guild is very much skewed toward Return to Ravnica because, quite frankly, the Rakdos creatures in Dissension suck. Dissension does offer some good spells such as Cackling Flames and Wrecking Ball, but overall, it's almost entirely Return to Ravnica. There's nothing wrong with that, and I think it will lead to better games.

My Rakdos list from last week only had twenty-four cards for some reason, so I actually have a lot of room to work with here. That works out pretty well since Rakdos made out like a bandit from Dragon's Maze. Top-decking Twinstrike after playing a Sire of Insanity is just . . . well . . . insane. I had to cut one of the other 6-drops for it, and I decided that Chaos Imps was a bit worse than Carnival Hellsteed.
