The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
Return to Ravnica prerelease had me so deep in nostalgia of one of my favorite blocks ever, that I had to revisit my old Rakdos deck and throw new spins on the fantastic guild that is Rakdos. Needs no introduction, just aim and shoot. Oh, and RIOOOOOOOT!!!!This is the sort of deck that makes you want to laugh maniacally while playing it, so synergystic it's not even funny, It just gets ridiculous.

I really wanna keep the interaction of B/R cards to maximize the power of ashenmoor liege and fists of the demigod, i love those cards so much, but i also wanna make it as blisteringly fast as possible, just like Rakdos would want it! any help is appreciated

I haven't drawn any sample hands so I may change my mind in a minute, but Master of Cruelties and Lyzolda seem kinda unnecessary. Without something to make Master of Cruelties unblockable he could be thwarted pretty easily. Lyzolda's ability is great but its gonna take a bit of mana to work with plus you lose a creature every time. I think the guild mage does a better job here. My suggestion would be to take them out and add something like dying wish. You could put it on Hellhole Flailer and really dish out some damage. With 1 Ashenmoor out and the flailer unleashed it does 6 when sacrificed. drop a dying wish on it a turn before and you do 12 without any extra cost. Just a thought. Great deck, regardless.
lyzolda is great because she adds much needed card advantage to the deck, and can help against removal. i've had many a game where i attack with her and sacrifice her for extra damage and the card draw. also, master of cruelties is there as tech against life-gain decks. i originally played havoc festival, but that was usually too much mana or came too late. master is great because it not only has a hefty life swing, but serves as a great blocker and can combo with rixmaadi guildmage for the win. the dying wish combo does sound interesting though, it might have a place in the deck i definitely will try it out, but besides flailers and lyzolda, i dont have a really consistent way to use it proactively. it does seem like good rattlesnake though against removal. thanks for commenting!
