When this creature enters, sacrifice it unless you discard two cards.
Such is the power of Rakdos that even his shadow takes on a cruel life of its own.

Where it came from
Avatar of Discord was released in 2006 as part of the Dissension expansion, the final set in the Ravnica: City of Guilds block. It was designed to represent the Rakdos guild, a chaotic faction characterized by its destructive, hedonistic, and thrill-seeking nature. The card was mechanically built to reflect this identity, requiring players to discard cards to minimize its mana cost, thereby forcing a high-risk, high-reward strategy that fits the thematic volatility of the Black and Red color alignment.
The artwork was illustrated by Dave Kendall, who utilized a visceral, dark style to capture the terrifying aesthetic of the guild’s mascot. Kendall’s design focuses on a multi-headed, monstrous entity that embodies the guild’s penchant for suffering and carnage. Upon release, the card was received as a flavorful, albeit challenging, inclusion in aggressive deck archetypes, noted primarily for its efficient power-to-mana ratio provided the player was willing to commit their hand to the board.
