Deck Description

7 two power 2 drops make it a very aggressive deck, able to hit for 5 damage on turn 2 very consistently. At the top of the curve we see Mogis and Exava able to push through the last few points of damage along with 12 burn spells and 2 Mizzium Mortars to deal with the early plays or last 4-5 points of damage.

The sideboard has doom blade and Dreadbore to come in against mid-range decks for the shocks and Mogis's Marauder or Magma Jet depending on the colors. the Dark Betrayal comes in against Mono-Black Devotion along with the Skullcrack to stop the major life swings they can produce. Satyr Nyx-Smith comes in against any control decks for the Hell-Hole Flailer against control decks to have it be a card the demands and immediate answer and skullcrack for the shocks to stop shpinx's revs.

Deck discussion for Rakdos Aggro

I don't think you can, but try fitting in 1 or 2 rain of gore into the sideboard, to counteract lifegain?

I don't think that is Standard right now but it is a nice idea, thanks.

It's actually been a while, I haven't been able to get out in weeks due to exams and other things but last time I played with a similar deck I went 2-1. I am still missing the 2 Mogis for the deck, using Ogre Battledriver instead but I have play tested against mono black a fair bit and it does ok after side-boarding
