Hi Wwwskyler. May I make a few suggestions for your deck?

  1. Remove 2x Desecration Demon and 1x Rakdos, Lord of Riots . Add 3 land, either Blood Crypt or Rakdos Guildgate . Adjust your basic lands to be 9x Swamp and 7x Mountain. While your comments above show you are not concerned with your mana, in the long run, if you want your deck to be competitive, you should have a solid mana base. You are running more black in your deck then red, so adjust your basic lands accordingly. Currently (not counting my suggestion above) you have 3 double red symbols in your deck, but 15 double black symbols. If you add the lands I said, you might even be able to go 10x Swamp, and 6x Mountain. But I would playtest it first. The 2 creatures are good, but if you are going aggro, I would stick with the smaller, faster creatures. Master of the Feast more than makes up for Desecration Demon . It puts your opponent on a 4 turn clock. Add to that the burn spells and haste speed of the other creatures in the deck, and it's more like 2.

  2. If you are concerned with control decks, add a couple of Sire Of Insanity to your sideboard. You are an aggro deck, but control decks are designed to go for the long game. He is a 6CMC, so I wouldn't add more than 2. He can easily be swapped out for a couple of Rakdos Cackler s as you prepare for the long game, and it's hard to control anyone without any cards in your hand.

  3. Also, for Control Decks, add a few Duress to your side board. You can take out a couple of Thrill-Kill Assassin s and replace with two or three Duress . Control decks run very few, if any, creatures. So, the Deathtouch on thrill-kill is moot. You have 12x other cards with 2 CMC that are still alive in the deck. The other option would be to take out a few Dreadbore s. Same reason as above. Your flyers should be able to get through to take out an Elspeth, if not, you have Hero's Downfall to take care of her. You'll never get an AEtherling with either of them.

  4. 4x Slaughter Games is too much in the sideboard. Take it down to 2x, and you'll have room for 2x Whip of Erebos . This is another card that is great against Control. A Supreme Verdict Board wipe will still allow you to bring back your Master of the Feast for one more turn, and not give your opponent a card.

id swap out Thrill-Kill Assassin for Rakdos Shred-Freak to further apply some early pressure, if you really think you need thrill kill, sideboard it, tho you are better off with just more kill spells than sideboarding thrill kill.

hopefull youre pleased with shred-freak, i like him. i also run a rakdos deck, and although mines faster, the freak does a good job like jester and should be good in your deck too

I recommend adding a few lands, maybe 3? Cut 2 heros downfall and a dreadbore maybe?

I'll think about it I feel like this deck is pretty good even when I don't have a lot of mana I mean I can play the majority of the deck as long as I have 3 mana and I usually have that in my opening hand but thanks for the advise

justinhays look at this deck!!

There are much better cards outside of Standard to be playing, and I recommend you learn the more popular cards in Modern first. Dismember and Slaughter Pact are better cards than Hero's Downfall and Dreadbore . Master of the Feast is far too weak for the format.

Wwwskyler says... #13

If you know the Control player only has 1-2 bombs, you can side in slaughter games and watch them cry as you take away their win condition.

Wwwskyler says... #15

Yea slaughter games is pretty good especially in the sideboard I'll think about it

Bloodhall Ooze over vexing devil what do you think

September 26, 2014 6:30 p.m.

Straight outta standard! No really, some of your standard cards like Hero's Downfall and Bile Blight are really lacking. If you're going kinda the deadguy route, look in to modern removal like Dismember or something. Plus Master of the Feast sucks.

+1. This is the kind of deck I love; just strong creatures and massive removal. As a suggestion, I recommend you to use Blightning to have more discard and burn spells, and maybe one or two Abyssal Persecutor because it is one of the strongest creatures in Modern and it is easy for you to kill him once your opponents life has gone below 0. Nice deck, really!

Wwwskyler says... #19

I do like blighting a lot but the only problem is that it only hits player with the burn part of it im thinking of mabey putting it in my sideboard I do like abyssal persecutor to I might run him To

This is pretty damn solid. I playtested about seven times and each one was a win on turn five. Vexing Devil is pretty insane and Master of the Feast can do some serious damage. +1

This deck is awesome, I liked the Underworld Cerberus in the deck. Have not played magic in awhile, I can not believe the price of goblin guide now, Monastery Swiftspear from Khans might be a budget option. +1

Wwwskyler says... #22

Yea monastery swift spear could be an option thanks for the help

Solid, Strong deck! There's not much to improve on, but I would add some Goblin Guide s (If they would fit in your budget, I'm not sure if that has changed since you made the first comment). Blood crypt could replace the sulferous springs, because of the basic land types for crypson muckwaker. Bloodstained Mire is also excellent: it thins out your deck, and it can grab you the land types you need, but it is very expensive as far as money is concerned. An inexpensive option would be to replace one of the desacration demons with Rakdos, Lord of Riots . His drawback isn't really a drawback because of how fast and damage dealing this deck is. Thundermaw Hellkite would be good instead of underworld cerebrus; haste and taking out blockers really helps make a five drop much less slow. Again, this is an execellent deck!
