My attempt at a B/U/R damage-dealing deck. Basically wanting to offer some damage with creatures as well as spells, using as much of my tricks as possible.

Basically I've got removal if I need it, and with Rakdos's Return I can cut down my opponent's hand while dealing damage straight out. The Pike works real well with the Flailer, making him a big bomb when needed. I ended up cutting a lot out of the deck just to get the deck down to 60 and make it more efficient.

Using Guttersnipe to pop damage works real well, and if needed you can add in some counters to stop their removal. Duress stops miracles, and Dreadbore removes big nasties, especially when combined with Tragic Slip.

Then you just deal damage all the way and go in for the kill.
