{T}, Pay 1 life: Add {B} or {R}. {1}{B}{R}, {T}: Mount Doom deals 1 damage to each opponent. {5}{B}{R}, {T}, Sacrifice Mount Doom and a legendary artifact: Choose up to two creatures, then destroy the rest. Activate only as a sorcery.
Predicted power
Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 42 Eng.D+Usr.

An untapped BR land can support a one-of, but repeated life payments and legendary status make it weaker than fetch-shock mana; its abilities are minor.

Best home Rakdos-based aggressive decksBand fringeConfidence 57%

Could be wrong if A strong BR shell that values a low-cost utility land could make one copy more common.

Legacy 34 Eng.D-Usr.

It supplies both colors untapped, but Legacy mana bases favor fetchable duals and utility lands; paying life per activation is a substantial drawback.

Best home Rakdos-based midrangeBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if A black-red deck with unusually spare land slots could value the hard-to-counter land abilities.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 43 Eng.D+Usr.

A usable BR land with a conditional late sweeper, but it is painful, color-restricted, legendary, and needs a legendary artifact to realize its best mode.

Best home Rakdos legendary artifact decksBand fringeConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if Reliable legendary-artifact support could make the asymmetric wipe worthwhile in more Rakdos lists.

Limited 49 Eng.C-Usr.

Untapped BR fixing generally makes decks, though every colored use costs life; the seven-mana sweeper is powerful but highly conditional on a legendary artifact.

Best home Black-red decksBand playableConfidence 35%

Could be wrong if Unknown artifact density and format speed determine whether the sacrifice mode is realistic or nearly blank.

Painful Rakdos utility land

“An untapped BR source with modest late utility, but repeated life loss, legendary status, and a demanding sweep clause limit adoption.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
