I think your should take out the Rakdos Guildgate s and Temple of Malice s out entirely, i was testing with a deck like this, and drawing a guild gate can slow you down a ton.

I somewhat disagree with you usohatchi, because even though taplands can definitely slow things down, but not NEARLY as much as not drawing the right colors at all.. See, this deck NEEDS an active combination of Red/Black mana to properly function, and having some taplands is the only way to help insure that, and this is reflected in upper-tier Rackdos decks running a pair of Guildgates in addition to playsets of Blood Crypt & Temple of Malice .. Athough I would like to be able to ditch the Guildgates, the Scrylands are actually rather useful for preventing unproductive draws..

You should definitely make your Blood Crypts a playset, and not your guildgates, make it much faster. Also, I'd suggest Magma Jet for burn and a really nice scry 2 to keep your deck running smoothly.

EsoEric If budget wasn't an issue; Then personally I would have playsets of both Blood Crypt & Temple of Malice ; trading out a pair of Rakdos Guildgate & a Mountain in the process. Plus a playset of Thoughtseize instead of Duress in the sideboard wouldn't hurt either, but this is what I actually own at the moment; so call this a "work in progress" if you will..

However, with that said, you do have a point about including Magma Jet , and I've even made a small adjustment accordingly..

Master of the Feast = Blaster of Yeast

+1 for having a playset of madcap skills

Pure rapid fire sweetness

I'm feeling like with the current modern scene, you might want to run one or two Underworld Cerberus just to secure the win, he's the brickiest of brick walls and lets you fetch up your dead cacklers.

Oh yeah, and he's unblockable :D

Hi there, I've seen your deck a few times, but I kept forgetting to login later and comment. I would strongly suggest using 3-4x Falkenrath Aristocrat . I've seen people use her in their Rakdos decks on MTGO, and she wins the game most of the time. She's simply difficult to deal with while applying loads of pressure. Anyway, good luck, +1 :)

Oh yeah, aggro decks are much better friend with Spike Jester than Goblin Deathraiders but a 50/50 split would be fine too.

Whoops just noticed you had both already, sorry.

Why is Lightning Bolt in the SB?

Sorry for the late replies all, but here goes...

@WonderbreadDan: Thank you for the compliment, and most of all--the Upvote! :D

@CricketYT: I do like your first suggestion, and the other two as well.. lol.. But I'll have to do some playtesting to see if it would better fit in either the main or side.. Upvote perhaps?..

@tchau204: Now I really like that idea, however I'll be keeping it x1-2 for the time being, as I don't squeeze out all of my other 4-drops in the process.. Again, some live playtesting is required, and of course thank you for the Upvote.. :D

@tclaw12: I specifically address that in the "Sideboard.." section in the deck description above.. :) Afterwards Upvote maybe?..

Yeah sorry I didn't read that but it makes sense now haha. Are you going to get Bloodstained Mire while it is in standard?

And of course I'll upvote ;)

I Think Falkenrath Aristocrat should be replaced with something like Olivia Voldaren seeing as how you only have two different creatures that are human.

Also, although Excava is cool, there is only one other creature that has actual +1/+1 counters on it (Rakdos Cackler) so I would suggest replacing all your Excava's with Ashenmoor Liege or Blightning

@tclaw12: Thanks :) And indeed I'll eventually be getting ahold of some Bloodstained Mire (s), but not for this deck per se' because in this case that kind of color fixing is completely unnecessary as the mana base is already consistent enough as-is..

@firestar157: Falkenrath Aristocrat isn't here for the sac ability, but for those first two keywords in the text box: Flying & Haste--- so it's immediately swinging overhead for 4 (Aggro baby).. Olivia Voldaren on the other hand, while a strong card too, is better suited for more of a Midrange/Control build (and can still be Lightning Bolt ed away).. Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch is here for similar reasons; her last ability is neat but it's because she's a 4/4 First Strike that can immediately be turned sideways (Aggro-Aggro-Aggro).. However Blightning I've been considering for a while now, and is likely to find a few slots in the SB with the rest of my Burn.. So, with all that considered; what do you think? And would you Upvote? :D

@metroid_hybrid can you advise me on my mono white deck?

What do you think of Brute Force as an alternative to Titan's Strength? It loses scry, but it's better at keeping your creatures alive through combat.

...and can act as pseudo-protection from Lightning Bolt as well... Hmm, a Giant Growth.. That's very interesting.. No, I haven't considered it before, heck, it even fits the flavor of the deck better by a hair too. I simply used Titan's Strength because I already had a playset. I'm definitely considering now, although the loss of Scry could prove to be game-altering as well.. I should be able to tell after some live testing..

I would add more Ashenmoor Gouger and less Goblin Deathraiders. I like the deck and it has a good price. Nice job!!!

Have you considered Mogis, God of Slaughter, your decks practically tailored for it.

and maybe Dreadbore instead of Terminate. also you might like to consider Manaforge Cinder another one mana drop creature is always useful

I don't know about the Whip man.. It's only good in the "late-game" when you've run out of steam and can take advantage of a mana-sink. If the game ever gets there, you should've already lost. Instead, you should use this card slot to make sure you win the early game..
