Slaughter Games over Rakdos Return

In most control decks with black and red, is it viable to replace Rakdos Return with Slaughter Games in the current meta? I know that Rakdos Return can be used to also hit planeswalkers, but a Slaughter Games can take out a key card.
Rakdos's Return is like ten times better than Slaughter Games .

Rakdos's Return >>>>>>> Slaughter Games. I don't even use Slaughter Games SB anymore because I can't justify it in my current meta. I'd rather have counter spells and kill spells.

Slaughter Games has more viability against control, so i prefer it in my sideboard.

Slaughter Games cant be countered and can name ANY card you want...any SINGLE that is. It really just depends on your goal and picking the right tool for the job.

Slaughter Games can slow an opponent down by removing their win con, but Rakdos's Return can effectively end games, or at the very least give you massive card advantage. I'd say return is significantly better, but Slaughter Games has a spot in the sideboard.

There's a huge difference between winning the game yourself, and just preventing your opponent from winning.

Slaughter Games is best for sideboard, but if you are comparing both of them in general, i think Rakdos's Return is the better of the two
