Rakdos has Returned, Officially.

So after flavor-tease with the spoil of Rakdos' Return, we finally got a glimpse of the Legendary Demon as a card- and boy, does he seem pretty good.

The picture isn't so clean. Even so, Rakdos' power-level is pretty immense. This is the art though.

My first impression is that this card, though with this goofy converted mana cost, feels pretty competitive, as it is a dude that's 4 for a 6/6. Hopefully, his utility as a creature-inhibitor will help get him into more games, especially in EDH.

However, with a majority of the other spoils getting released over the past week, we have to look at cards like Ultimate Price, which will wreck the draft/sealed meta even with Rakdos in its midst. The new Detain mechanic might also be good against this guy.

This card seems like it'll be pretty good in Commander too. So get a couple copies of it.

Make sure you check the RtR spoiler. Only 30 cards to go.

Peace. Love. Landdrops.
