Deck Description

So this time i was like GUILDS! no no no i was like Ghost Council of Orzhova! i have to use it in a deck. Then i was like I also loved guilds when i was a child so how about helping others who love a certain guild. This is a series of 10 decks 1 for each guild that tries to use both the old and the new cards that guild has to offer. I also put in at least 1 guild leader from the original sets while trying to make the deck as competitive as i possibly can so if you're not seeing enough cards of that guild it's cause they might suck or just be really expensive. I try to make these fun but mostly guild oriented (playstyle wise) and inspiring.

BEST CARDS:
Rakdos the Defiler: yeah he isn't that great but as a finisher he is AWESOME,
when you attack just sac all your lands, when you hit them they won't block anything for the rest of the game or they won't cast anything for the rest of the game.
Crypt Champion: on turn 4 at least 1 Spike Jester or Rakdos Shred-Freak died, this brings them back, plus a 2/2 double strike that want's to be enchanted with Madcap Skills is great.
Cackling Flames: 3 out of 7 games this will kill your opponent turn 5. . .

How to Play

Carnage, riots, crazy shIt and parties that cause people to lose body parts and involve random killing. Rakdos are the mad freaks who are really feared in ravnica, if someone needs any dirty work to be done they will ask Rakdos. Rakdos are the fun and creative guys, they don't mind cutting or torturing themselves, in a way they are mad but that doesn't matter if you're having a blast while you kill friends, foes or even yourself! There is just one playstyle: ALL IN! no defense, sacrificing your own stuff, discarding your hand, no blocking and hoping that your superaggresion is enough, which is an extremely fun way to play MTG. This deck however has some backup thanks to Crypt Champion or Cackling Flames, if you run out of steam you can just get in those last few points of damage.

"Let all fell joy in pain."

Deck discussion for Budget Good Old Rakdos

Ah, Rakdos. What's not to love about mindless slaughter just for giggles.
RTR gave me the best playstiles that I've ever seen in MTG. And it is a true shame that they're about to rotate out of standard...
Still, I'd drop the lands to 21. Low CMC means you can have less lands and by the time you play Rakdos, then he'll win you the game

I think that i can't go under 22, you really want to hit 4 lands turn 4 for Crypt Champion and Hellhole Rats. Rakdos the Defiler is there because these decks are a series combining the old and the new cards every guild has to offer.
But yeah 23 may be too heavy thx for suggestion.
