Rakdos Joins Up
Rakdos Joins Up is a pragmatic engine for decks that profit from death and comeback plays. The enchantment returns a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield with two extra +1/+1 counters when it enters the battlefield. That immediate recursion locks in value while the counters change damage math and combat planning. Use it to restore a key blocker that also becomes a more threatening attacker or to reanimate a sacrifice outlet that benefits from entering the battlefield.
The second ability turns legendary losses into direct pressure. Whenever a legendary creature you control dies, Rakdos Joins Up converts that loss into damage to a chosen opponent equal to that creature's power. In archetypes that trade creatures freely, the card provides a steady stream of incremental advantage and a viable win condition. The card reads like a piece of Rakdos lore; it rewards chaotic performing and ruthless efficiency without asking for unpredictable setup.
