An aggressive take on the Rakdos Sacrifice Archetype in Standard, leveraging sacrifice synergies, burn elements, and efficient creatures to apply pressure.
KEY THEMES & STRATEGY:
Sacrifice Synergies
Utilizes sacrifice fodder like Hopeless Nightmare and Spiteful Hexmage to enable effects.
Burn and Damage Over Time
Urabrask's Forge, Fear of Missing Out and Torch the Tower apply consistent damage.
Disruption and Removal
Nowhere to Run, Final Vengeance, and Braids, Arisen Nightmare can remove threats on the board and disrupt opponents' game plans.
PROS:
Resilient against removal
Has many ways to recur cards and has cards that benefit from creatures dying.
Fast Clock
Able to have aggressive start with Spiteful Hexmage, Urabrask's Forge and burn spell so keep pressure on the opponents.
Disruption Tools
Cards such as Hopeless Nightmare can help slow down control and combo decks.
CONS:
Weak to graveyard hate
Cards that exile the graveyard or disrupt effects from the graveyard can shut down the value plays.
Lacks big threats
Lacks Finishers of big creatures that can close out the match during the late game.
Weak to aggro mirrors
Struggles against decks such as Mono Red or Gruul that are hyper aggressive and can outrace it.
