as i remember some burns consider Satyr Firedrinker & the firststrike Goblin captain as two of the best 1 drop aggro

Interesting idea.. althought not purely dedicated on milling like Imperial recruiter+ Painter servant + grindstone in legacy but seems this has potential modification in Modern.I think if u want to involve Orb maybe you should thinking about cards with Flashback or creatures with Unearth ability
skullrend was weak link here
there's no need for tomb of yawgmoth here.. also... i dont know what are the syphon spells doing here.. there a lot better Black cards to replace those two
umm mana was okay although 4 planeswalker was too greedy here... Vraska was the better bet if i gonna say.. she's adding some defensive presence while threatening with her high loyalty.,, yet 3 of here was ok.. she can eat another PW too
Rakdos Ringleader for new set... and Tavern Swindler for sure... Ringleader's ability was sweet... but the mana cost was not!!! and Tavern Swindler... well its just too random... just a 2/2 vanilla i see it
ill be waiting for the result since im B/R player too and still considering to continue my B/R Zombie or changing the whole deck to more aggresive unleash deck... i agree running hellrider was good for purely Rakdos Aggro, rather that than conscript
did you consider splashing green here? the zombie golgari's slitherhead, gravecrawler, dreg mangler and even jarad waiting to be discarded by pack rat... you could return jarad to your hand.. then off creature Treasured Find could replenish your graveyard in case the rat tactics didnt work
my suggestion: -remove essence harvest because it's very situational to get the optimal effect and doesnt help if you cannot get the big beaters on board -either remove hellrider or zealous conscript, you can focus on different section -disciple of bolas can be interesting decision but i believe between her and the keyrune wouldnt be valid in competitive deck for black/red unless you want a total control... especially i think disciple of bolas was a bad matchup for Rakdos & hellrider
the problem bug me is... too many things you want do which doesnt fixing a focus here... this is between aggro or control... i dont understand why you put falkenrath aristocrat & olivia here, because they're anti-synergistic here for tempo, i think you should focus on 1 route for bomb creatures here, between aristicrat(which would give a small impact here because the other creature cannot be her fodder), olivia (if you foing for some board control) or Rakdos(for fast paced aggro in case you can deal constant damage to your opponent)
i like the myr combo although it will better maxing Iron myr & leaden Myr than Palladium myr... there's no point palladium myr's here
Apparently B/R Zombie was popular one this day with the backbone consisting Geralf's Messenger, Gravecrawler, and Bonfire. i saw many of this from FNM
funny. when i look at the title i though it was red deck
that's really how grixis works in standart now... charmbreaker would do a trick as havengul lich substitutes since there's heartless summoning the cost wouldn't be so painful
link??? im curious
good simple black/red deck. im working on sacrifical black/red too except instead of stealing creatures i prefer to maximizing Morbid from my creatures... i found it's fun to play Skirsdag High priest while on black red Standart
judging by Niv, jace and Bolas has Blue on them we can expect some great Blue cards to support their flavor in Ravnica. not that the other colors would receiving Bad cards but i they maybe would only decent at best... just like G on M13.
i have a feeling Return to ravnica would concentrate on mainly on black,red and blue. starting with RtR depicting Niv-Mizzet(R/U) & Jace(U) as cover boys and Magic13 was centralized on bolas. so i think i would starting Grixis deck
well... how bout adding deranged assistant.. its helping to self mill your deck and adding 2 mana creature wouldnt be painful and some flashback spells from innistrad would be great. increasing vengeance was a great card since its low on cost and the good thing it has flashback and faithless looting can be good too
remove cathar's crusade add 1 or 2 land it would be better for you because your creatures itself was frightening enough. cathar's crusade only made your cards difficult to play here
