Rakdos Aristocrat
A while back I made a card called Rakdos Aristocrat. The idea was to make a 10 card set of Aristocrats based on the Ravnica Block Guilds. I was never truly happy with the cards I made for this, and I was waiting for the moment when inspiration would strike, and then I realized that this would make for a great challenge!
So here it is... The first of 10 challenges (If you all like it and it becomes popular)
Rakdos Aristocrat
The guildelines are as follows...
1. CMC of 5, 4 or 3.
2. Must have at least one black and one red mana in the casting cost.
3. Should be Uncommon or Rare
4. Should fit the feel of Rakdos
5. Subtype should include "Advisor"
6. I would prefer the name of the card be Rakdos Aristocrat.
The judging will be comprised of Comments made on the cards by other cardsmiths as well as favorites on the cards, and any ties will be broken by myself, or a vote.
The reward for this challenge shall be a TROPHY and a custom card of choice! The top three cards will be announced.
The contest ends on April 24th
Here is a recent sample I made

Any one who want to start this adventure?

Forgot to add the tokens that my card spawns. Oops.
I wanted a design that would fit into an "aristocrat" type deck that worked with both Rakdos guild mechanics, taking advantage of Unleashed creatures while enabling Hellbent.

All cards meet the criteria, so no one was eliminated based on that.

Your strong Artwork and being the top vote getter edged you into the top three! It is a very cool card and I appreciate your entry!

Best art and flavor for me. Had this not been so amazingly OP, I would have had a difficult decision to make because I love what this does, and it's how I think a Rakdos Aristocrat would behave!
First Place - @milanaarz

You managed to fit a whole lot of Rakdos into a tiny little card! I love that you made him a vampire and gave it such cool art (4th place on art btw). And you were inspired enough to take on an entire new Ravnica set from this challenge, and that's pretty cool too!
Thank you to everyone for their entries!
~TROPHY~
