Lifegain in aggro?! Yes!
This is a modification of a budget Rakdos aggro, to which white gives a signifigant boost. A bit slower than it's Rakdos counterpart, it gives more stability and explosive power after T5. Opponents that think they have stabilized from the initial beatdown might find themselves in a pinch for the whole duration of the game.
Decided to take this stance after playtesting Rakdos Applies Pressure, which had difficulties with mid- and late game when opponents had been able to bring blockers to the board. At that point almost any creatures in the current meta outclass basic Rakdos weenies no matter how many they are.
Important additions to this build are Legion's Initiative, which gives tremendous protection agains board wipes. It also combos well with Spark Trooper. Lingering Souls stalls fliers and has a powerful synergy with Hellrider. White also gives access to Blind Obedience, which is an important sideboard choice to counter other aggro builds.
Blood Artist and Desecration Demon seem to form a good team, and so do Frontline Medic and Boros Reckoner. Basically both give your opponents only bad choices. Blasphemous Act is in the deck to trump fliers or token heavy decks, and of course it works well with Blood Artist and Boros Reckoner.
Sideboard choices:
Blind Obedience against aggro.
Dreadbore against midrange and such.
Oblivion Ring against control and pesky artifacts/enchantments.
Slaughter Games against decks that are short on wincons.
Tribute to Hunger against shroud.
Underworld Connections against board wipes.
Help and suggestions appreciated!
