Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (2 cards)

Instants (2)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I have yet to test this deck... I have all the cards here, but this is what I thought of before play testing. I would like to cut down to 60 cards. Suggesting new cards can help. I know I should get vexing devil and hellrider but i dont have the money atm. Thank you for any help.

Deck discussion for Rakdos Aggro/Burn Needs Help

Consider Tainted Peak or at least Akoum Refuge to replace the Rakdos Guildgates, both are better. Tainted peaks will work nicely as long as you don't lay one down first turn.

Rakdos Charm can safely go into the sideboard. You don't need it main-deck unless your meta is heavy on Human Reanimator or Tokens. Chandea Ablaze isn't Standard Legal, so you'll need to remove that as well. Cryptborn Horror is bad...it's a trap card. Don't run it. Run another Hellhole Flailer instead. Bump in the night is also bad...you need to be running at least 20 land, and if you want to rely on having mana for your Guildmages or to cast Rakdos you really should be running 22. I know you don't want to hear this, but you need the duel lands for this. At the very least try to collect copies of Dragonskull Summit...they're as cheap as 3 dollars a pop in some places.

looks ok, I would:
-2 mountain +2 evolving wilds (nets you swamp or mountain if in bind and reshufle)
- carnival hellstead (mana to heavy even with rakdos in play)
- chandra ablaze (does nothing for deck )
- 2 rakdos charm +2 skullcrack (charm ok but skullcrack becomes harder for opponent to deal with)
- 4 searing spear +2 sign in blood + 1 underworld connections ( again, for life, card advantage is best thing in magic)
playing red/black is fun but once you unload your hand you have no more tricks up your sleeve =(

Thank you for the comments. I edited the deck the best I could and this is what I came up with. Any more/new suggestions?

You should consider making it standard as Chandra Ablaze and Akoum Refuge are your only non-T2 cards. Also, Vexing Devil is always fun in a burn deck, but it ain't that cheap.
