Rakdos Midrange has reasserted itself as the top deck in Pioneer. It has won multiple Regional Championships and was my weapon of choice when I made Top 8 of the US Regionals. Before these tournaments, the archetype was in a bit of a slump. Mono-Green was a dominant force and Rakdos didn’t have great counterplay. However, recent metagame shifts and new printings have helped fix a lot of the problems of the deck. Misery’s Shadow and Sheoldred have been huge gains for Rakdos and the resurgence of Arclight Phoenix gives you a great matchup for you to pray on.
