any love for sire of insanity or master of cruelties in the main?
i've been using them to good effect in conjunction with magma jet and thoughtseize as a 1-2 combo sorta thing.
too many mountains, olivia in the md seems not good.
you might wan to run threaten effects like zealous conscripts or mark of mutiny since you have 6 sac outlets.
Nope. It isn't that clear-cut. You still want to be able to hit Sphinx's Revelation and Farseek. Occasionally Azorious Charm too. If they start missing drops because of color screw from you swiping their Farseek, you have effectively played a Time Walk.
I personally don't care about farseek I strip their hand of that thragtusk or restored.
And like I said uw (with sphinx and charm ) you want duress.
Well, I've had two days to think about it and I think I'm still leaning towards splashing White. White gives me my own O-Ring, Boros Charm to survive a Verdict, burn for 4, or double tap some combat damage, also War Priest of Thune to hate enchantments without losing board presence, and I'll have my own BlObs. Additionally, White puts me in position to go straight Boros if nothing worth the Aristocrat and Noble can replace them when Innistrad goes.
i dont think moving away from aristocrat is the right choice nor is worrying about rotation when it's another 7 months away.
My main problem has been Esper Control. I just can't beat it in any important games. Sometimes I'm fast enough but I tend to play my Rakdos as a slo-gro deck (which I find gives me substantially favorable match ups against all other aggro decks), but I'm still speedy enough to win against Jund, UWR, etc. However, Esper just has too many answers. The counters kill me, I can't race the wrath but playing around it gives Esper too much time. I don't have enough burn to straight up burn them out and they end up milling away my important cards.
I'm honestly not sure what out of the board helps. Slaughter games? They counter it. Rakdos's Return? They counter it or have enough cards to discard, they don't card. Liliana? I can't afford to throw away the one or two cards that might be in my hand and I don't want to be top decking for a win.
I kind of like the idea of going Grixis. Tandem Lookout with Hellrider and a few other creatures gives decent draw to refill your handle. Psychic Spiral out of the board is a nice way to flip the table on Esper. Could run a counter or two maybe. Hmm, might not be an awful route.
i like the psychic spiral idea a lot also slaughter games cant be countered.
kessig wolf run is only worth running in both bant, jund, and that monoblack woo list because they're playing farseek, manadorks, and cryptghast that can power out huge wolf run activations.
this deck has neither one of these things to optimize kessig and makes the mana super awkward. i do not recommend this. especially odd that you're running stonewright as well, thus diluting either strategy.

not sure which is better.

not sure if these were mentioned but they seem like a good fit for this deck.
what app is this?
skullcracks and a couple dreadbore; i think 4 is too many. appetite or mizzium mortars does better here.

duress if theyre not (esper, u/w, u/w/r)
