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 2010 as part of the Archenemy expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set introduced a new format where a single player, acting as the 'archenemy,' faced off against a team of opponents, using a special deck of oversized scheme cards to represent their overwhelming power. The card was specifically designed to embody the chaotic, self-sacrificial nature of the Grixis color shard, forcing players to discard cards in exchange for its high efficiency and devastating combat prowess.
The art for the card was rendered by Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai, who sought to capture the visceral and fractured nature of the creature’s discordant essence. The illustration emphasizes themes of instability and raw energy, aligning with the card's mechanics which punish both the controller and the opponent. Upon its release, it was well-received by players looking for aggressive, high-risk creatures that could quickly pressure an opponent’s life total in multiplayer environments.
