Rakdos EDH, suggestions needed!

I'm toying with the idea of making a Rakdos EDH deck with either Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch
or Rakdos, Lord of Riots
as my commander. I know that I want to run Sire Of Insanity
, which is the only other Rakdos rare in my collection. But are there any other cards in Rakdos that would be beneficial, either in old Ravnica or Return to Ravnica?
Oh, and I would like it to be somewhat of a budged EDH deck at first.
I'd like a good mix of flavor and effectiveness. Also, what are some good lands for a R/B EDH deck? I know that shock lands are the default, but what about outside of those?

Okay, well you obviously know Blood Crypt .
Dragonskull Summit , Akoum Refuge , Shadowblood Ridge , Graven Cairns , Rakdos Signet , Rakdos Keyrune , Rakdos Cluestone (I realize those are not lands, but they're still effective), Lavaclaw Reaches , Rakdos Carnarium , Rakdos Guildgate , Sulfurous Springs , Talisman of Indulgence , and, of course, Badlands . They're not all great and they're not all affordable, but they comprise BR lands. There's also Chromatic Lantern , Rupture Spire , and Transguild Promenade .

It says you may pay W or B for Extort, and because that mention of white is in there means you can't use it if your commander doesn't have that color.

No, Extort is usable in a Rakdos EDH deck. The W/B is only in the reminder text, not on the card's ability. Reminder text does not count towards color identity.

Well, do you want it driven by flavor or how well it runs?
For both, you can run Rakdos Cackler most definitely.
If you want power, you're going to be going into stuff that isn't necessarily within the Cult of Rakdos but will certainly still be in color, such as Crypt Ghast .
For flavor, go here.
