If Rakdos Pit Dragon loses double strike after first strike combat damage has been dealt, it won't deal damage during the normal combat damage step
It took everything that made the first game great (open deck builds, huge open world) and improved upon it (mini games, a second island, more cards, more to collect, letting you skip coin flips)
You can either run that creature into blockers, or sacrifice it to one of your own abilities for a benefit
With a mana cost of five generic, one blue, one black, and one red, with a starting loyalty of five, The Deceiver is still an easy target for your opponent thanks to its abilities
It can be a mana fixer, a win condition, and a combo assembler
