Need to improve my sideboard and looking for suggestions. G/W Monsters seems like it would be a problem for this deck.

Really wanted to play Ash Zealot But with the prevalence of black in the deck getting double red mana and having them untapped on turn two was less than a 50% chance combine that with having the Ash Zealot in hand and i'd be playing it turn two less than 30% of the time. Had to settle for Rakdos Shred-Freak instead.

Godless Shrine is in there to help the mana cost of Boros Reckoner

Otherwise, pretty straight forward aggro deck. Pain Seer to keep filling my hand, Magma Jet, Temple of Malice will help set up my draws. Lightning Strike, Magma Jet, and Dreadbore will help keep creatures off the board.

If they manage to stabilize Rakdos's Return and Mogis's Marauder Will push in some extra damage. Mogis, God of Slaughter puts pressure on aggro and control alike.

When playing against board sweepers like U/W Control and likely the new Mono Black Devotion with Drown in Sorrow I'm running 19 Humans including Xathrid Necromancer to repopulate the field.

Conclusion: While I'm in the beginning stages of testing I think that I'd have a pretty great control matchup especially after boarding. My main worry right now is G/W Monsters and am considering boarding Dark Betrayal for the Black devotion matchup.
