How Malfegor decks play in EDH
Malfegor is a Rakdos commander in black and red costing 2BBRR, and its legendary creature - demon dragon line shapes the whole deck around it. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. Built-in evasion means damage gets through reliably, so effects that scale that damage are worth more than extra bodies. The cards below are the ones Malfegor decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
