Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
This deck mostly wants to beat face with large cheap creatures, and the two Equipments here ensure the the creatures hit faster (Greaves) and harder (O-Naginata) than many decks can deal with. A lot of folks will chump block Mindslicer but not kill it so they can protect their hand. How about a 7/3 trampler? Uh-oh...now the opponent almost has to kill it and abandon his hand.

While packing a lot of muscle, this deck has a few tricks up its sleeve to bring home the full flavor of Rakdos.

1) Howltooth Hollow. I love how I can "hideaway" a bonus card that doesn't sit in my hand. Hollow should do well in a Hellbent environment, but combos especially well with Mindslicer.
2) Jaya Ballard. She's the runt of the creatures, but she can really pack a punch.
3) Bottled Cloister. Even if opponent can break the bottle, you usually have an empty hand so there's no great loss. Meanwhile you are getting great card advantage on your turn.
