Deck Description

This is my starting base for what is going to be my Black/Red standard deck. I honestly just wanted something outside of mono-black devotion, and the ability to use Purpho's burn in unison with evil creatures seemed to good to not work with. Comments below welcomed and acknowledged.

How to Play

Control the field, build devotion, attack, attack, attack.

Your mana curve is a bit . . . high. Really high for a rakados deck which is typically aggro.

Yeah contrary to the deck description I actually was trying to steer it away from aggro just because there are so many red black aggro decks in the meta. Call me crazy but I actually like to avoid the meta. I tried to compensate for high mana cost with more control even in the creatures. I have no idea how it will work haha.

Well in that case porphorous isn't that helpful to you as he helps aggro decks. Also I would consider using some lifegain with erebos, but that's just me.

That's part of the problem there are a couple, but with your curve what it is there aren't very many good ones. I would however say your best bet is Whip of Erebos.

I guess what i'm asking is : 1. How could you suggest I couple the idea of black control with some of the fun new creatures in black red, or 2. What components should I look at for making this more aggro based. Like what is in the meta for black red aggro.
