My first impression is that the deck wants more sacrifice outlets given the Myrs, Arsonists, Traitorous Acts, and Bone Splinters, so I think you could drop Read the Bones and replace it with Nantuko Husk, since Read the Bones is a bit slower than how this deck should be playing in my opinion.

You guys are so mean. I see too many people using Not-Traitorous Act.. as apposed to Traitorous Act v2 with the +2 +2

Been playing Mostly blue black and Jund, myself.. Got blasted by some Rakdos the other night so I thought I'd go back to my roots. Your deck still working smoothly.

ugh... exactly what about that ws mean everything I said there was constructive criticism...

Stop being so mean!!

I guess all girls are mean

thats a good point thanks. but im not sure where i can get any drawing power from my deck.

HI all! greatings from Italy
first, sorry for my poor english
second, anyone can help me to build my aggro deck?
this is my current deck:

LANDS 23:
10 x swamps
7 x mountains
2 x Dragonskull Summit
4 x Rakdos Guildgate

CREATURES 18:
4 x Goblin Arsonist
4 x Perilous Myr
1 x Liliana, Heretical Healer i have also Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh but not in this deck.
2 x Fleshbag Marauder
4 x Nantuko Husk or 4 x Bloodflow Connoisseur
1 x Erebos's Titan (good boy of my deck)
2 x Embermaw Hellion

ISTANT & SORCERY 19:
4 x Bone Splinters
4 x Twin Bolt
3 x Dragon Fodder
3 x Bitter Revelation Unfortunately i have 0 Read the Bones
3 x Traitorous Instinct (best choise when I can sacrifice a creature)
2 x Chandra's Ignition

mana curve is: 0/8/11/7/7/4/0
Other interesting card to complete my deck is:
little creatures for sacrifice like a goblin or Thornbow Archer; something to resume Liliana Corpse Hauler or Gravedigger; some big creatures like Nightfire Giant and/or Kothophed, Soul Hoarder or Priest of the Blood Rite; Cruel Revival and the Malakir Cullblade because whit the goblin sacrifice a can kill a lot of little creaturs and pump malakir and Bloodflow Connoisseur
all card's is ORIGINS edition because i play only online at this time, but I want to start playing in real whit a sealed tournament's
with this deck lose frequently vs I.A. or players
can I improved my deck? thanks to all! CIAO!

because i love red/black up the post
sorry dude

nothing?

My Magic skills are very rusty (first played 20 years ago, last played 15 years ago except for dabbling in the PC games). I've been working on a B/R midrange/control(?) deck that needs some more tuning, so I'd appreciate some feedback. My playing skills probably need more tuning as well, but that's another matter.

B/R Everything Dies

Spells: 18
4 x Fiery Impulse
4 x Twin Bolt
2 x Chandra's Ignition
4 x Bone Splinters
2 x Shadows of the Past
2 x Read the Bones

Critters: 18
4 x Perilous Myr
3 x Fleshbag Marauder
3 x Gravedigger
3 x Blazing Hellhound
2 x Priest of the Blood Rite
1 x Gilt-Leaf Winnower
1 x Nightfire Giant
1 x Erebos's Titan

Land: 24
9 x Swamp
8 x Mountain
2 x Dragonskull Summit
4 x Rakdos Guildgate
1 x Foundry of the Consuls


The basic idea is to control the board then usually win by threat/ignition. I suspect my creature/spell mix is off, and perhaps I need more Read the Bones to get key cards (removal, threat, land, ignition) as needed. I tried Kothophed, Soul Hoarder but he was usually too slow or too painful (much easier to control the Priest's drawback). I swapped him for another Hellhound to give myself another lower mana threat. I also tried Languish, but the targeted removal seems to work better for my playstyle. Maybe the Foundry should be a Passage instead for another finisher, as I usually have plenty of things to sacrifice. Anyway, please rip it apart!

As comparison i'll put up the list im using right now on steam;

Everyone is playing gruul. Figured it was time to dig up rakdos.

-Rakdos 3 drops-

4 x Bone Splinter
4 x Perilous Myr
2 x Despoiler of Souls
2 x Abbot of keral keep
1 x Liliana, Heretical Healer
2 x Graveblade Marauder
3 x Fleshbag Marauder
1 x Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
3 x Deadbridge Shaman
4 x Nantuko Husk
4 x Act of Treason
2 x Pia and Kiran Nalaar
2 x Priest of the Blood Rite
2 x Chandra's Ignition

4 x Rakdos Guildgate
2 x Dragonskull Summit
8 x Mountain
8 x Swamp
2 x Rogues Passage


Just relentless beatdown paired with a smidgeon of steal/sac. Makes Gruul Cry. Endstep bring back the despoiler, then ignition for 3 is good in a pinch The Acts are often 4 drops with Bone Splinters. Don't take this deck vs sultai fog though Card on the cutting block is Chandra: I don't think this deck has what it takes to make her shine. Maybe replace with a miser's Cruel revival / Exquisite Firecraft /Gravedigger

igniton but no languish?

Yes.

Can ignition for 3 of alot of dudes, can ignition for 5/deathtouch/HUSK of some other dudes; I can steal your dude, ignition, kill you; I even have a 'haste' ignition.

This isn't grixis control, this is beatdown.

fair point ignition tap chandra is also a play

That's the main reason I haven't cut her yet. She will probably have to go though. Gravedigger for a lategame Graveblade marauder seems like a better plan. Even Erebos Titan seems decent here. If I up the curve further I would have to go 25 land though.

Scratch it boys. Apparently gruul dorks get to get god hands.

Ramps; Pulse on deadbridge shaman, discards a card, plays an ape; ape gets splintered of a mir. plays a zendikar ape; I play Lilly; Pulse on lilly, I take the hit. Plays nissa; draws of nissa; reveals gaias revenge. I steal zendikar ape and kill nissa, splinter the zendikar ape on itself. Plays gaia, I take the hit. I play Pia and Kiran. Twinbolt + ravaging blaze kill you. I had a graveblade marauder in hand.
I guess I shouldnt have splintered the ape on sight, but I figured my myr would just die to twinbolt, which it would've.

Sorry I have to vomit now.


EDIT:

Another gruul evoleap.Lived the dream.

Managed to bring back Despoiler twice in the same turn saccing it to husk, igniting for 14 !!!!!!!!!

Sakdos 18 creatures, 18 other, 24 lands

4 x Bone Splinters

4 x Perilous Myr
4 x Twin Bolt

1 x Liliana, Heretical Healer
3 x Fleshbag Marauder
4 x Nantuko Husk
4 x Act of Treason

1 x Erebos's Titan
3 x Gravedigger
2 x Languish

2 x Priest of the Blood Rite
3 x Cruel Revival
1 x Necromantic Summons

12 x Swamp
3 x Mountain
2 x Dragonskull Summit
3 x Foundry of the Consuls
4 x Rakdos Guildgate


Pretty straighforward, kill their stuff and keep bringing your own creatures back from the graveyard via Gravedigger and Cruel Revival. There are 10 zombie targets for Cruel Revival, so you'll always be getting something back. Use Nantuko Husk to sacrifice stolen creatures, protect your creatures, activate Liliana, etc. Liliana is ridiculously easy to flip whenever you want, so she'll win you a lot of games. I haven't tested this deck extensively yet but it has done quite well the times I have used it. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

Just wanted to say that even though I don't think the list I've posted is optimal; and was merely put up because of gruul love on steam yesterday, I am flattered that people are using it ^^ Hadn't seen rakdos in forever, then I run into 3 copies of my build in one evening !

Unfortunately for the people I met playing the deck; I'm now messing with the sultai control build, and so far I've had a disperse for each massive Chandra's Ignition

I've been playing some Rakdos lately, and it just makes me think it's one of the weakest color combos right now. It has no answers for enchantments, which is pretty much a death sentence with the overabundance of EvoLeap, Spy Network, etc being used.
