Sideboard ideas : Abrupt Decay, Doom Blade, Golgari Charm, Putrefy, Ground Seal, Trollhide, and of course Fog.

This turned out very good!

I'm taking this to FNM this week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. If pyromancer gets laid on turn two it's essentially over.

Not this current blend, I'm on my way to get the rest of the burn cards this weekend. Let you know if it goes as planned.

Lol hilarious, yeah it's only good in control mirrors anyway.

Yeah quite a bit. I see what you mean about Gyre it's just a chancy combo to hope to draw. Are you planning on proxy testing? That would be the easiest way to see if it's reliable enough for you.

Btw I forgot completely about Crowned Ceratok and Ulvenwald Tracker. Check those out.

You need to be able to protect your champion a bit better and this might work perfectly. Look into cards like Oak Street Innkeeper and Alpha Authority.

Also you have very few ways to evolve Gyre Sage. It is a great mana source but there are more general use ones you could use a lot more often. Like Elvish Mystic or even some Rampant Growths. Even a card like Triumph of Ferocity would work in this slot with what you're trying to accomplish.

As nice as Nightshade Peddler seems he is usually only use for a chump block. I would recommend something like Slitherhead or Experiment One as you have no real powerful turn one. You might even like Ambush Viper.

If you need help with a sideboard I wouldn't mind just let me know.

Slitherhead by far. Also you should put something like Farseek or Rampant Growth in here so you can mana accelerate a bit. Consider dropping Rakdos Shred-Freak for Rakdos Cackler as well.

Of course, I would never cut Corrupt here.

I was just thinking it could fill the same end ramp slot that Bloodline or Griselbrand is in. You could also benefit from Essence Harvest (Most likely sideboard) if you have out your big creatures. Another idea might be Mark of the Vampire.

Looks really fun and plenty evil. The only thing I think is missing is Nightmare. He could be really useful here.

My current FNM Rakdos deck that I'm tweaking for the power summer.

Check out my new FNM deck. It's a selesnya voltron that I'm keeping on a loose budget. I could use some feedback.

This is my new FNM all star. What are you working on so I can help you deck tech too?

Made an update to reflect M14. This deck became a whole lot better.

Finally bought the whole thing. It's so fun to play with!

Oh that does, I'll make changes soon.

Interesting, Forced Adaptation could be a really scary combo.

I'm mainly playing in FNM's and I don't want to try and buy four voices right now especially sense I'll be focusing on my Grixis Control in the next rotation.

Like I said I wanted a "kinda" budget deck that is creative but still competitive enough to not send me home discouraged after a few matches.

I'll actually be finishing out this list on friday and I've got all the possibility cards for deck testing. So any other comments before then would be greatly appreciated.

Sire would ruin what I'm trying to do I did think about using him but I decided against that sense I'm using Blast. Blast is more of a first game card, to get boarded for Rakdos's Return or Reap Intellect depending on the match as it's mainly an anti-control card.

Izzet is in the main because of the prevalence of token decks in my local meta. But you might be right. I was thinking of using Rakdos Keyrune but lotus is just too damned good to me lately.

Divination is there because it's a tempo boost and I can play it off of a lotus. Not to mention I've had some really bad luck trying to get Desperate Ravings to work for me.

Grixis Control will need a complete revamping with M14, I'd like to continue to tweak this in the mean time.
