Ever since my first Rakdos event deck, I have had a healthy appreciation for R/B aggro. Black devotion comes along, I see cheap red devotion have its day, I remember Shadowmoor hybrids and voila: Red/Black devotion.

So far in playtesting, I've had mixed results with the tempo. Ideally:

T1: rakdos cackler Dev- 1

T2: Rakdos Shreadfreak Dev 2

T3: Nythkos, then Ashenmoor Gouger, Dev: 5

T4: Mogis's Fanatic or Grey Merchant, for 7+ or 6 damage

To counter the boardwipe, I have 4 Wail of the Nim. I can put nythkos to work keep three mana available.

With high devotion creatures like Demigod of Revenge, it's easy to recover the devotion if you fail to prevent removal but still a weakness.

I was hoping chroma would help this concept but after reviewing the red chroma options, I was pretty underwhelmed. Gods will just have to do :|

Help me develop a sideboard and other gaping weaknesses this set might have?
