how awesome would it be to have an entire guild named after you?

Wurmcoil!? I'm glad Gut Shot isn't around in Standard for this!

The casting cost seems like more of a downside than the damage requirement. With the return of the shocklands, I'm not convinced that even that is a factor. I'll be playing him in standard and as my commander.

Needless to say, artifact creatures would benefit a lot from Rakdos, Myr Superion only require 2 life loss.

It shouldn't be too hard to get this guy out, but I like the off-the-wall limitations on him. Gives people something to think about, at least a bit.

He still makes you jump through hoops like any demon worth their salt, but he's so much more playable!
He almost makes Shivan Gorge considerable. Maybe in EDH.

So freakin' good! Even if it was just a 6/6 for 4 with the drawback it would be OP.

Obligatory Kaalia of the Vast EDH comment.
No, seriously, he would be amazing! I run Heartless Summoning in there to lower the cost of my fatties in case Kaalia gets tucked away. Rakdos here would lower the cost of all the fatties after one swing without shrinking them. Plus, with Kaalia attacking, the drawback is no drawback at all. He is so ridiculously good!

Who is giving this less than a 5/5? If this isn't a 5/5, I don't know what is. It exactly embodies what Red and Black want to do - smash face with creatures attacking and direct damage spells - and even rewards you tremendously for it. Even if you don't plan around him by adding in Pestilence and creatures like colorless eldrazi, colorless artifacts like Steel Hellkite, or X cost creatures like Maga, Traitor to Mortals, you are still able to cast creatures for up to half their cost with his final ability - just look at all those grey circles in the costs of cards like Mana-Charged Dragon, Rune-Scarred Demon, and Kaervek, the Merciless. And he's a 6/6 with flying a trample, barely a 4-turn clock in Commander. Just a perfect card. Also, I'd love to see a comparison betwen Green ramp decks and decks built with this guy in mind in who can get more spells off ... (see all)
