Riot Incarnate
Rakdos, Lord of Riots rewards aggressive timing and punishes slow starts. You can only cast Rakdos if an opponent has lost life this turn so the card pushes you to open the action early or force the issue with a cheap ping or successful attack. On resolution you get a 6 by 6 flying trample body that doubles as an ongoing cost reducer for creature spells based on damage your opponents took that turn.
In play Rakdos serves as both a finisher and a tempo engine. The creature spells you cast cost {1} less for each 1 life your opponents lost that turn which creates explosive turns after a damage window. This Retro Frame light play foil from Ravnica Remastered is a practical pick for Rakdos aggro or big creature decks that want a reliable, repeatable discount and a threat that closes games quickly.
