It was revealed on Monday last week the deck lists of the two event decks of Return to Ravnica. These two decks will be on sale on the 26th of October, at an MSRP of $24.99. The decks themes are Rakdos and Golgari, the two guilds included in the set. They are Standard ready, meaning they contain a sixty-card maindeck and fifteen-card sideboard.

First is Rakdos: Wrack and Rage.

Maindeck
1 Dragonskull Summit
2 Rakdos Guildgate
8 Swamp
13 Mountain

2 Stonewright
2 Stromkirk Noble
4 Rakdos Cackler

4 Rakdos Shred-Freak
2 Hellhole Flailer

4 Pillar of Flame
1 Mizzium Mortars
1 Nightbird’s Clutches
4 Searing Spear

Sideboard
1 Grafdigger’s Cage
3 Duress
2 Electrickery
2 Faithless Looting
1 Vexing Devil
2 Ultimate Price
2 Murder
2 Brimstone Volley

The deck upgrades I would change in the list are the following:

+2 Stromkirk Noble, +1 Knight of Infamy, +2 Brimstone Volley, +2 Crippling Blight, +2 Flames of the Firebrand

-2 Stonewright, -1 Rix Maadi Guildmage, -1 Devil’s Play, -1 Mizzium Mortars, -1 Nightbird’s Clutches, -2 Searing Spear, -1 Rakdos Charm

Sideboard would look like this:

2 Rakdos Charm

Next up, Golgari: Creep and Conquer

3 Golgari Guildgate
1 Grim Backwoods
1 Woodland Cemetery
7 Swamp
8 Forest

1 Ulvenwald Tracker
2 Slitherhead
2 Daggerdrome Imp
3 Dawntreader Elk
4 Drudge Beetle
3 Korozda Guildmage
2 Trusted Forcemage
4 Vampire Nighthawk
2 Dreg Mangler
1 Disciple of Bolas
1 Druid’s Familiar
1 Deadbridge Goliath
1 Wolfir Silverheart

4 Tragic Slip
1 Ultimate Price
2 Victim of Night
2 Golgari Charm

Sideboard
2 Duress
3 Vile Rebirth
4 Strangleroot Geist
3 Bramblecrush
1 Thragtusk
2 Ghost Quarter

There is alot of revisions needed in the maindeck so I’ll just post below a new list.

1 Grim Backwoods
4 Woodland Cemetery
4 Overgrown Tomb

2 Corpsejack Menace
2 Deadbridge Goliath
4 Dreg Mangler

Spells
2 Tragic Slip
2 Rancor
1 Increasing Savagery
2 Golgari Charm
2 Ultimate Price

The sideboard would be,

2 Bramblecrush
2 Cremate
4 Duress
2 Grafdigger’s Cage
2 Knight of Infamy
1 Naturalize
1 Thragtusk
1 Tormod’s Crypt

I hoped you all liked my deck upgrade suggestions. To sum it up, I think these two guild theme decks are soon-to-be among the top choices in the Aggro bracket. Control has been gaining momentum since last weekend and aggro decks have to cope up.

Until next post.
