Deck discussion for Rakdos Standard

I would tentatively suggest to remove the Corpsejack Menaces. This is a very aggro deck that does a lot of it's damage early on and the +1/+1 counter bonus wouldn't really be that relevant in my opinion (except in rare circumstances). Especially when, at the same mana cost and in you color scheme you could be running Falkenrath Aristocrat which is better. If you do end up getting rid of Corpsejack then you should probably get rid of Slitherhead too for something like Experiment One. I don't think you need 4 Rakdos, Lord of Riots just because if you have two you can't cast the second so I'd lower the number to 3, especially considering you aren't trying to cast bigger things with his ability but just as a huge beatstick.
My final thought is that you might want more red sources in your land base to make sure Boros Reckoner doesn't get stuck in your hand. I would cut two Forests and put in two Rootbound Crags. I wouldn't recommend cutting him from the deck though because you can throw him at defenders and redirect the damage to get out Rakdos.
So yeah I would think about these, not taking them at face value but play around with it a little. Hope this helps!

Yah that does sound good, the menaces are mainly for the later buffing of rakdos or the cryptborn. Ill see what i can do
