MAIN:

Some really fun and cool Rakdos cards, like Underworld Cerberus and Sire Of Insanity, that no one ever seems to play and Mogis, God of Slaughter is as good a reason to start with Born of the Gods. Win conditions in Desecration Demon, Stormbreath Dragon and aforementioned Rakdos creatures. Underworld Connections to draw your kill/win cards and Whip of Erebos is a turn 4 lifegain to save yourself, or a great way to bring back a big creature in a big way. Mogis, God of Slaughter turn 4 can really create a turn clock for your opponent but he really does not have to be a creature for this deck to win- if he is its already over anyway. Dreadbore is likely one of the better cards in this deck with Hero's Downfall fulfilling the instant removal spot.

SIDE:

Burning Earth with the new scry lands means it not just for Esper anymore. Lifebane Zombie for Selensya. Another Mizzium Mortars for Blood Baron of Vizkopa, Stormbreath Dragon and the always-fun overload. Pithing Needle because its Pithing Needle. Rakdos Charm really to turn around a game against Master of Waves and Elspeth, Sun's Champion. Skullcrack for the obvious Sphinx's Revelation or Brave the Elements etc. Slaughter Games to choke out win conditions.
