Rakdos Shadow's Scourge

Image
 I know a lot of decks trying to utilize Scourge of the Skyclaves will be popping up because this guy can become huge in the mid to late game. Scourge is similar to Tarmogoyf in a lot of midrange style decks, being a two drop that slowly gets bigger over the course of the game. With this deck, we try to smash together a Death's Shadow style deck with a Blitz style deck. This lets us use Scourge to great effect by bringing our life total down while also quickly reducing our opponents life. With the Blitz creatures of Monastery Swiftspear and Soul-Scar Mage , we can swing for a decent amount of damage in the early game with them and burn spells. Other than that we play the Death's Shadow package with a bunch of fetch lands and shock lands, as we as Thoughtseize to bring our life total down.                                               ...
