I am happy that my guild colors (Rakdos or Black Red) has been doing great finishes in the recent major Magic: the Gathering tournaments. One of which that the reason I posted today’s deck feature is a version of the Rakdos Sacrifice Aggro deck that finished in the Top 4 of Magic Fest Lyon 2019 last weekend. It was piloted by the pro-player Andreas Ganz and surprisingly it was the only aggro deck that got into the Top 8.

The deck’s main strategy is to gain advantage with Cauldron Familiar and Witch’s Oven while chipping out early damage in the first turns. Threats and planeswalkers can be dealt with Angrath’s Rampage and Claim the Firstborn in which the latter can get opponents’ creatures sacrificed to the oven.

Here below is the complete decklist that Andreas played:

Maindeck
4 Blood Crypt
2 Castle Locthwain
4 Fabled Passage
5 Mountain
10 Swamp

4 Cauldron Familiar
3 Cavalier of Night
4 Gutterbones
4 Mayhem Devil
4 Midnight Reaper
4 Priest of Forgotten Gods

4 Angrath’s Rampage
4 Claim the Firstborn
4 Witch’s Oven

Sideboard
4 Dreadhorde Butcher
4 Duress
2 Embereth Shieldbreaker
1 Mask of Immolation
4 Noxious Grasp
