Strategy notes
This is a Rakdos (black-red) Commander reanimator/ramp deck that wants to cheat huge threats into play early and overwhelm the table with massive combat damage and punishing ETB effects.
Its core plan is to loot or discard big creatures like Archon of Cruelty, It That Betrays, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Void Winnower, and Archfiend of Despair, then bring them back with Reanimate, Exhume, Animate Dead, Victimize, and Artisan of Kozilek. Cards like Faithless Looting, Cathartic Reunion, Thrill of Possibility, Big Score, Unexpected Windfall, and Buried Alive help stock the graveyard quickly. It also has strong mana acceleration from rocks and rituals such as Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Dark Ritual, Seething Song, and Jeska’s Will to hard-cast threats when needed.
The deck wins by sticking a few game-ending fatties, often backed by Anger, Rogue’s Passage, Access Tunnel, Whispersilk Cloak, or **Swiftfoot
