Trying to build a competitive deck in these colors. The deck features a pretty good amount of life gain, ad most of the creatures are pretty resilient in some way. I have lots of removal options available to me and I try to make good use of them. Suggestions and +1's are always welcome.

Removal

Hero's Downfall: Gives me instant speed removal that hits anything.
Dreadbore: Unconditional removal and hitting planeswalkers.
Mizzium Mortars: Four damage for 2 or the ability to board wipe late game.
Chained to the Rocks : Cheap removal that exiles.
Magma Jet: Hits weak creatures or burns and then lets me scry 2 to smooth out my draws.
Warleader's Helix : Can be used as removal or burn. The gaining 4 life at instant speed can really throw an opponent off.

Creatures

Aurelia, the Warleader: A game ender if I have another creature on board.
Blood Baron of Vizkopa: Great against decks that run black or white, and stabilizes the board really well for me.
Boros Reckoner: Nobody wants to mess with a reckoner.
Obzedat, Ghost Council: A great beater with the added benefit of being hard to hit.
Desecration Demon: A big body with evasion.
Sin Collector: Also a form of disruption. A great way to keep my creatures safe while putting a body on the field.

Disruption

Rakdos's Return: The most important disruption against control. It's hard to win if you can't play spells.
Thoughtseize: Taking out threats before they hit the field is excellent.
Whip of Erebos: Gaining life gives me a way to sustain myself to the late game, especially when hurting myself, and the whip gives me the ability to pull creatures that have been removed back for some more use out of them.

Card Draw

Read the Bones: Card draw isn't entirely crucial, but it's never bad seeing this in a game.
