Deck discussion for rakdos

I'm considering running something similar to this and I'm wondering how you like the consistency? I know many seasoned players like running one-of's in their decks, but I myself prefer to have consistent cards and draws, how well does this work with a single ratchet bomb or underworld connections or diabolic tutor or dreadbore?

i really like the way my deck plays. no match up is really tough except for the the america matchup so i am currently making changes like -2 dreadbore +2-3 doomblade.

after splashing red, so far out of 2 FNM's i have gone 5-0 (lost 1 out of 11 games) and 3-1 .

i did just go down to 1 dreadbore because planeswalkers were less of a problem, rather flashing creatures like america's resto angels, or selesnya's advent of the wurm,, or thundermaw were a more annoying problem to deal with. dreadbore is too slow 1-2 extra will go into the sideboard.

i have loved ratchet bomb- it usually always does something- however i am still considering putting it in sb for something else mb just because i really only NEED ratchet against aggro, humans, or bant hexproof.

underworld connections is amazing- against any non fast deck this card is amazing, even against aggro after i stabilize this card is useful- i have even tutored for it once... you can side out for removal game 2 if they're playing a really fast deck.

diabolic tutor is similar to underworld in that against any non turn 4-5 win aggro deck i love when i draw it. one of because 90% of the time it will be extremely useful

thanks for comment- link your deck if you'd like me to take a look :D

Thanks a bunch! And now that I look, I could understand some of the one of's as having tutor is almost like having two of them, if you have it you can search for the one of you need. As far as decks, I don't have anything like this on here but I have the Aristocrats I'm running right now here: http://www.mtgvault.com/seantastic/decks/the-aristocrats-final-act/

Its oldfashioned, so I think I'm going to take out the reckoners and perhaps the Acts for xathrid necromancers and something else, perhaps two vampire nighthawks and another archangel. But I'm rambling, let me know what you think, if you care to. Thanks
