Story
It is unknown from where and when Rakdos originated, but as a Parun of Ravnica he existed long before the signing of the Guildpact. He is the embodiment of hedonism, cruelty and wickedness. An entertainer at heart, Rakdos sees everything as a play, every battlefield a stage. Every adoration ceremony is a performance, himself the biggest and final critic.
