Hello everybody. Today I'm going to talk about my favorite deck in Standard right now: Rakdos Control. This deck has been very good to me, and inside I explain both how it works and how I had a big win with it. I also talk about what I would update for Time Spiral.
The video includes one playtesting match against U/W Control (not extremely exciting) but does get to show the awesome #mtgjudge IRC channel in action.
Tomorrow we'll cover some more playtesting with this newly evolved deck, and I'll include my most recent list. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching.
