Save wildcards with RAKDOS MAYHEM! (MTG Arena Budget Standard Deck)

Short on mythic and rare wildcards, or cash? No problem! This ~$30 Budget Rakdos (Red-Black) deck makes use of some great new cards from Through the Omenpaths / Spider-Man. It uses no rares, not even in the manabase. Let’s put to it the ultimate test on the MTG Arena Standard ladder and see how discarding for value (and Mayhem!) plays!

I played Magic: The Gathering as a kid. Now I’m back in the game as a dad! My goal is to help new and experienced players alike to improve their skills. I keep a running commentary on card evaluations, deck building and gameplay strategy.
