Turn Their Strength Against Them
Act of Treason from Ravnica Remastered is a compact tool for tempo plays and surprise finishes. For {2}{R} you seize control of an opponent creature until end of turn, untap it and give it haste. The card rewards timing and reading of the board; cast it after blockers are declared to redirect damage or during an unexpected window to remove a threat while swinging lethal. As a common from the set you can slot it into aggressive red lists or keep it in sideboards for one turn swings that change the clock.
The flavor fits Rakdos mischief without frills. Act of Treason is straightforward and reliable in draft and constructed play. Use it to clear a blocker, finish a creature based combo, or steal a key attacker for a decisive strike. Experienced players will note its synergy with sacrifice outlets and cards that capitalize on temporary control, making one mana efficient turns feel routine rather than flashy.
