Riotous Reign
Rakdos, Patron of Chaos is a compact engine of disruption and card advantage. The six six body with flying and trample pressures life totals while the end step trigger forces awkward choices on your opponent. Use the threat of forced sacrifices to push through damage or to clear blockers before you commit to a finisher. The card plays well in decks that can punish opponents for keeping creatures and artifacts on board or that can capitalize on the tempo gained when they fold to the demand.
In a Karlov Manor game plan this Rakdos acts like an enforcer from the pit. The effect reads like a tax that demands a heavy price. If your opponents concede permanents you net tempo and if they refuse you pick up two cards. The foil Invisible Ink showcase makes it a collector play piece and a functional threat at the table.
