MTG Salvation

Maybe I shouldn't be posting my question here but I don't know where else to put it. What is the ideal spell to land to creature ratio for aggro? I'm playing red black and my most expensive creature is Rakdos, Lord of Riots. My most expensive spells are Devil's Play/ Rakdos's Return and Thunderous Wrath. As of right now I'm running 18 lands 19 creatures (all between 1 and 4 cmc) 15 burn spells and 8 removals

This is my play on the Rakdos Wins Deck:


SIDEBOARD

I just want to elaborate on this, for example if Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre were my commander would a card like Gemstone Caverns (say if the cavern had the luck counter on it) or Gilded Lotus be able to generate colourless mana for me?

I would remove 2 mountains and the now banned Sundering Titan and add Urza's Tower, Urza's Mine and Urza's Power Plant. A turn 3 Karn Liberated is scary beyond all reason.

I'm also thinking of adding Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit into this deck. Any ideas what I could possibly substitute. I'm thinking of subbing Grim Poppet for Duplicant and Adaptive Automaton for Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit I also want to add my Gilded Lotus for maybe Thran Dynamo ( I know Thran costs 1 mana less to play but I think that the 3 red mana that Gilded Lotus produces is a bit more relevant than 3 colourless mana. What do you guys think?

When will Spell Thief #3 be released?

I found Goblin Dynamo to be a solid card especially when he gets copied and uses his sacrificial ability to mimic Red Sun's Zenith however he is mana intense would he be a realistic replacement for Conquering Manticore? Could Duplicant be used to remove the opposing commander?

I'm just wondering if Gamble is necessary in this deck? My other question is if I get a charge counter on Shrine of Burning Rage when Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker copies a creature?

Hi 3 drinks. Thanks for your help figuring my deck out. I am new to the language of MTG so I was wondering what you meant by rocks when you said " Ideally you need rocks that are two or less, and that tap for on-colour mana as the rocks that cost 3"

My Kaalia of the Vast deck is constantly getting owned and I really don't know why. On paper it looked pretty solid and rather greasy. Here's the deck list if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Is there a card like Blood Moon except that it targets only opposing players and not myself?

I love the idea of playing a deck like the ones listed above but honestly I am thinking of adding Thrun, the Last Troll,Dungrove Elder andOverrun as well as some growths (Mutagenic Growth Giant Growth what have you).

If anyone knows any super must have goblins I would make this a goblin based deck which would include Krenko Mob Boss, Goblin Bombardment, Solemn Simulacrum (to feed Goblin Bombardment),Goblin Genade ,Chancellor of the Forge and other cards you good people can think of. Thanks again!! Other combos I thought about using are:
Kiki-jiki, Mirror Breaker, Thornbite Staff and any of the following:
Emrakul's Hatcher for infinite mana
Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar for Infinite Mana
Blasting Station for Infinite damage
Triskelion for Infinite Damage

This is my first attempt at building an EDH deck using Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. So far what I have is:


So this is my most up to date deck. Any further suggestions, alterations and critiques are still appreciated!
