The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

This is a very aggressive take on a Rakdos deck, attempting to break the opponent down before they have time to respond. While keeping this deck to a modest budget, I believe that this can be a dangerous deck.
Remove any potential threats with despise, allowing your creatures to dominate the early game field. If the opponent manages to get any creatures out, terminate will put an end to those threats too. As you have earlier seen the opponent's hand with despise, this allows you to play Thought Hemorrhage and get some sneaky damage in while controlling the opponent's hand and all the while pummeling the opponent with an array of aggressive creatures. By the time you play Zealous Conscripts the game should be ending soon with an easy victory.

Looks decent enough, what was you thinking was weaknesses in this deck? I mean, I like it.

I wouldn't say this deck has an exact weakness, just more that this deck isn't great. After testing this deck, it failed a lot more than I was hoping, and I can't exactly work out what's wrong with it.
I do know this about discard...it seems best with an all or nothing black approach at it. I like Rakdos Ragemutt for the Lifelink. Rakdos Ringleader if you continue with discard. What did you play against, what was giving you trouble?
Whenever I play this deck, my creatures never seem to get the damage in on time, and then the opponent plays some big creature, big planeswalker, big artifact and I just give up from frustration. No one wants to verse this deck with any deck under $1000, and since this deck is only worth $30, its no real fair game and I don't stand a chance at playing this deck. I can't work out whats wrong with this deck, maybe the problem is the decks I'm versing, either way I'm momentarily frustrated and can't think straight, I feel like punching someone in the face.
They all use the same cards, and I can't handle all of this frustration from doing this. Stuff like Ensnaring Bridge, Dark Confidant, Tarmagoyf, all the deck use cards like that and all I have is some Terminates and Hellriders, by turn 4 the opponent should be on >10 health but they always end up playing something that makes my creatures useless and then all I have are some Blightnings which are already useless since they have an Ensnaring Bridge out and so they have no cards in hand. I ask them if they would mind using a deck better suited to this deck's budget, but all I get are "F off" and "Get F'd" so I really don't know if this deck will be going anywhere anytime soon, I know that I wont.
For now, I think I'll just swap Despise for Duress, to get rid of those F'ing Ensnaring Bridges and Oblivion Stones.
Yep, my friend had me buy an Ensnaring Bridge for his discard deck. Bought it for 12 dollars, 2 months ago. I go online to look, and now the same damn Ensnaring Bridge is worth 20 bucks. Yeah, it is brutal. He plays a deck that discards...but it is special because he does self discard too. LIke Delirium Skeins and Bottomless Pit. He discards all his damn cards, and yours then kills you with a damn Nihil Stone or Guiltfeeder (which can officially attack since his power is 0). Black/red has trouble with stuff like that. Void could change the game...probably not though, they will have their stuff out early.Chalice of the Void is very nice, against decks you play over and over. But it takes it out of budget, because I think it is expensive.
Yeah chalice is $7, a bit too expensive for this unfortunately.
This looks pretty intense! It is cheap yet so deadly!Ashenmoor Liege would rock in here, but it is pretty priceful...
Well in truth I've managed to get a large number of people to start playing MtG at my school, and this is a deck for one of my new friends. Reasonably basic cards, nothing too complicated, all within a budget of $30.00 USD. As much as I REALLY want to add Ashenmoor Liege, I will have to consult my friend first about it. Do you think their's anything else I could change in this deck? I'm looking for a substitute for Fists of the Demigod, it plays too slow in an aggro deck, have you got any ideas?
If possible, I may be able to persuade him to replace Rakdos, Lord of Riots with Ashenmoor Liege, but it wont be good for me since I'll be the one versing this deck.
If I can suggest cards to replace the fists, I suggest Madcap Skills. It is swift, elegant and deadly card in any aggro deck.Also I would add couple more early gamers, since B/R Aggro needs at least one early game creature. Preferably too. I like to use Goblin Deathraiders in my Rakdos deck.
already swapped fists for madcap, I'll def need to find some room for 3 deathraiders. What do you think?
One Hemorrhage, one Conscripts and maybe one Duress? I'm not sure. You better ask your friend's opinion on this.
I don't think my friend would know what he was doing. He's never build a deck before, and I don't think he'd know what would be best to remove.
Made some big changes with the deck, what do you guys think?
Yes, yes. Looking good. I have only one question: Does the Avatar of Discord have meaning here other than just being 3-mana 5/3 Flying?I mean, do you discard any specific cards?
No, nothing specific
hmm..., I'm really indecisive about this deck and I can't stop changing it. I'm now gonna try make it a sac deck.
