I had Maga, Traitor to Mortals in the deck until recently. I would either have him in hand with no Rakdos on the field, or Rakdos on the field with no Maga. He's not worth tapping out for to "hard cast" because his effect only applies to one player. If his ETB applied to everyone, or at least was a drain effect, he'd be worth it.
He's what I took out to make room for Sneak Attack since he's useless to Sneak into play.

I find that tutors are always impressive ways to make sure your hand matches your field, and honestly I'm never really a fan of Sneak Attack unless you are playing with eldrazi or things that will have an impact after they have left the board.
Granted, you do indeed have some of the cards that it works well with in your deck.

He says in the deck description that birds is going to be treasonous ogre(from conspiracy set) when it gets added to the database.

Correct. I chose something totally off the wall because I expected people to be like, "why does this deck have BoP? Maybe he explains it in the description." Then they would read the description and find out why.

I have a deck like this. Very similar, however I like to run more ways to get Rakdos on the board, such as Plague Spitter and Flame Rift. Love Rakdos, Lord of Riots. I love playing him, casting Flame Rift with at least 3 opponents in the game, and then proceeding to drop Blightsteel Colossus for free. Good times. +1

Plague Spitter was in the deck at one point, but I removed it when I decided to shift away from ensuring a T4 Rakdos and focus on being able to hard cast everything without him.
I've had my eye of Flame Rift for a while, but I'm not sure I like it because it's just burn. Even though it could enable a free Eldrazi by itself, it just doesn't have the utility I like. It's also not a very good top deck.
Blightsteel Colossus was in my deck for one game. In that game, if was Bribery-ed out very early by an opponent, and I took it out immediately after. It's just too much of a liability in my play group.

All valid points sir. You're always liable to stuff like Bribery when playing R/B Haha. I'll have to put my list up sometime, I figure we can collaborate off each other and get some spicy cards for the both of us. =)

Definitely. I'm always on the lookout for good utility creatures.

Hey mate, my friend just started up an account and he is the owner of the Rakdos deck. He plans on uploading it sometime this week. Sorry for the wait.

No problem. Let me know when it's up and I'll take a look.
