You ALWAYS have to sac the permanents. They don't. It just doesn't seem worth it to me. It's certainly not a finisher. Maybe at a 10/9 it might be worth the drawback. Plus, what happens when you attack, sac your lands, and they Fog you or something. Then, the next turn, they hit him with a pacifism or a claustrophobia. You're done.

If Rakdos, Lord of Riots was out at the same time as The Defiler could Defiler's 2nd ability work with Lord of Riots atacking?

You guys realize that you don't get to skip the negative drawback from rakdos by using khalia, correct? explain how him entering the field tapped and attacking does not fall under "whenever rakdos attacks..." i hope this doesn't become another rediculous scenario where the rules printed on the card are ignored to give people an opportunity that the card was designed to prevent again as the legal rule.

Oni Possession is a must for all the Kaalia fans out there looking at this card.
With enough Black and White, and multi-Black/Red cards in your deck (remember- death triggers! :), you really don't need to be all that sad about your Angels and Dragons dying (I wouldn't go with All Demons, some cards are just too good to pass up- particularly Baneslayer Angel and Akroma) because you'll be able to Reanimate them out with some kind of Living Death effect anyway-
HOWEVER. You really don't want to be caught sacrificing Kaalia herself. Thanks to Aurelia, the Warbringer you might find yourself in the midgame actually not minding at all the idea of sacrificing Sol Ring or your Signets, because your cards are just a little stupid good together. :3 But Kaalia of the Vast is a non-Demon permanent, and a forced sacrifice is something no Lightning Greaves or Sword of War and Peace/a...

Oh wow. I just realized that in the last ability, he calls himself "Rakdos," not "Rakdos the Defiler." That's missing some errata.

Cheating this with Kaalia wouldn't trigger the drawback, because he was never declared as an attacker.

In Kaalia, just attack and wrath their board. Yet another reason we're happy that Karakas is not legal in EDH.
Oversold Cemetery, Tortured Existence, High Market, Disciple of Bolas. . . All of these are great uses with Rakdos in Kaalia.
