Deck Description

A Rakdos Deck that draws cards from all over the place. Technically it's more of a generic red/black deck, but it used to be a fully Rakdos deck that evolved over time.

I own all of these cards, and i use this deck on a regualr basis. I was hoping some of you might have some suggestions to improve it.

Yeah, it does have a tendancy to run out of creatures, that's why I put 2 of the blightnings in the sideboard and replaced them with gobhobbler rats. I've considered adding bitterblossoms, what say the crowd?

Add Sootstoke Kindler or Acidic Sliver for a good two-drop. Acidic Sliver in particular is sweet since you can use it as a blocker and then sac it for two damage + it's red/black. Cool beans bro.

I tried sootstoke kindler, but haste doesn't help as much now that the dischords arent maindeck. I'll look into the acidic sliver, that's not a bad idea. What about the bitterblossoms though?

Does it really fit though? Bitterblossom might be a good card, but if you're going to have that in there, you might as well have some pump spells. Get rid of Goblin Outlander and Gobhobbler Rats for Bitter Blossom (3) and 1 more Lyzola. Card advantage at one life a turn.

i might be able to get another lyzolda, but I'm not going t be able to get another bitterblossom, i only have 2. I'm just worried that these will slow down my mana curve- Lyzolda isn't dangerous until turn 4, and bitterblossom turn three.

I think I'll test out the bitterblossoms.

Is there anything that is deadly turn 2 that I could use?

Goblins, like Bushwacker and others that have haste. Rakdos isn't that slow though...

Actually, That's not a bad idea. I might replace a murderous redcap with one.

Alright, I managed to get ahold of two more Demigods. Sadly, however, taht means I needed to ditch my Heroes of Oxid Ridges. Also, I returned 4 blightnings to main-deck and the rats got the sideboard. The Go for the Throat's are gone, replaced by bitterblossoms.
