Deck discussion for Rakdos Beatdown

I love the Rakdos Guild, it is easily my favourite 2 color combination!

One of the things I enjoy about Black/Red is the speed; your deck has a mana curve that I would qualify as prohibitive, and almost no instants. A few suggestions:
- Move Dreadbore and Slaughter Games to the sideboard, run Terminate and Inquisition of Kozzilek instead.
- Use Blackcleave Cliffs and Graven Cairn to mana fix, especially in early game
- Move Mogis and one Avatar to sideboard and run 3x Browbeat for card advantage, or easy 5 damage

Have fun!

Thank you for commenting; if there's a deck you need want commented let me know. I'll definitely change the lands and add browbeat. I think instead of slaughter games or inquisition of kozilek i'm going to use shimian specter. What do you think?

I think your deck already has enough creatures and what it needs is stabilization. Inquisition gives you perfect info about your opponent's hand on the very first turn and rids you of an early threath, like a counter or a bolt that would nullify your next play, or a creature or combo piece your opponent was relying on. It become especially devastating if your opponent had to mulligan.

That being said if you are bent on adding creatures I would favor the good old Hypno over the Simian, one turn earlier does all the difference in the world and everyone hates dicarding at random.

Also for your SIdeboard seriously consider Rakdos Charm, it kills several decks in the metagame.

I will take you up on your comment offer, just pick one you would like to comment on:
