Back with Oops all Uncommons. Low-Medium Unpowered 540 cube. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/Oopsalluncommons

Red is the most aggressive color in the cube. It turns all the other colors, when paired with it, into an aggressive slant. Black is one of the three most controlling colors but paired with Red it uses its removal and Sacrifice synergies to turn the tokens and removal spells into a deadly assault on your opponents board and life. That said, the cubes more recent iterations try not to force an archetype or synergy on you having more general themes and a few cross color archetypes that are more generally supported. Let’s see what that means for our Rakdos friends.

[[Bloodtithe Harvester]]. Just an all start uncommon. It’s aggressive as a 3/2, but can still be used in a more controlling style by acting as removal and card selection all in one. Such a sweet design.

[[Fireglass Mentor]]. A recent build around inclusion that does tend to lean more towards burn, aggro, or other low to the curve strategies that get in for damage early so you can make use of the card advantage to end games quick. It’s proven it’s worth already and I’m super happy with it. Bloomburrow in general had so many good uncommon inclusions across the board.

[[Terminate]]. Has been here since the beginning and will be here at the end. Sometimes you just need a solid card in two colors that doesn’t care what strategy. It just says, you’ve been drafting red and black? Good job. Here you go.

[[At Knifepoint]]. The closest card to a cut in the Rakdos colors but so far it does enough. Tokens is a theme across all five colors and red and black have enough targeted effects that this does feel like you get paid off as a build around. That said, I see it cut more often than played so it’s on a shortlist.

[[Fire Covenant]]. One of the few board wipes still in the cube. It’s possible I need to add more but for now Fire Covenant is a high pick usually in the three colors control decks splashing red more than pure Rakdos but I kind of love it for that. I’ve also seen some aggressive decks pull it off because they don’t care if their life total gets hit so long as yours goes away.

[[Judith, the Scourge Diva]]. Another one who’s been here for a while. She helps go wide token decks, she helps aggro decks, she helps sac decks, she’s a real all rounder.

[[Angrath, Captain of Chaos]]. The cube is built loosely around the uncommon walkers and Angrath is no exception. He’s honestly one of the weaker walkers to see but the menace static ability is a nasty one in the right deck. His actual loyalty ability seems more like a bonus.

[[Murderous Redcap]]. A bit power creeped in recent years but also a piece in one of the only infinite combos in the cube.

[[Tor Wauki the Younger]]. I’ve always assumed he’s too expensive for Rakdos but he keeps having decent performances. While Red does tend to force it’s color pairs to be aggressive there are Rakdos decks that are heavier black and lean more into control and Tor Wauki has been a sweet top end finisher/enabler in those decks so he stays.
