We now go onto the third bi-colored general, and the next set of colors are Black and Red, also known as Rakdos. For Red and Black, there aren't too many good Generals to use. Rakdos the Defiler is pretty good, but also can be very destructive to yourself. While the rest of the Rakdos colored generals are just garbage, there is one that can be used for good. That general is Bladewing the Risen.
What is good about Bladewing is that he is the colors of your normal dragon deck. So you should have no problem being able to find cards to suit his abilities. A first reason why Bladewing is pretty good for a commander is he is a constant source of recursion. Every time you play him, you will be able to bring back a dragon that was previously killed. Whatever you bring back will be just as big and bad as Bladewing, unless you brought back a Dragon Whelp. Secondly, you can pump up your dragons to some pretty high power and toughness for just 2 mana. With a bunch of dragons going on the attack, this could help to be the game ender. Bladewing is also a 4/4 Flying, so he can deal a good amount of combat damage.
Some reasons to not use Bladewing would be things like his high mana cost, his lack of being able to end the game himself, and you are very restricted to using dragon cards with his deck, for anything else won't have synergy with Bladewing.
You can buy Bladewing the Risen and the rest of the cards for his deck for a low price at www.mtgfanatic.com!
