Ok, you know I love to play Rakdos -- black/red -- and, although it says "Razaketh's Control", it could very well read "Rakdos Control".I could also have named it, Rakdos, a Whole Lotta Hurt!I think this is both quick, control-ly, and has a great finisher.The goal is hit the opponent hard with the Torment of Hailfire after controlling the board with Incendiary Flow (exiling creatures) and Bontu's Last Reckoning.You use the Pyramid of the Pantheon to ramp into the Hailfire.Ribbons is a nice secondary win condition as are the Glorybringers and The Scorpion Godsuggestions?

Updates Add

I did some preliminary play testing and found my first iteration to be too slow. So I added one more Swamp and removed all but two creatures-- The Scorpion God and Razaketh, the Foulblooded. I swapped out the Never / Return for Unlicensed Disintegration. I added Collective Brutality for more card discard/removal and a little life-gain. I also added Tormenting Voice for card draw. I'm considering dropping the Torment of Scarabs for Abrades.

what do you think of it now?
