MTG Salvation

This is my stab at the new Rakdos... Mainly because i love the colors and such... When i first started to build it... it was going to be specters only with a whole lot of creature kill... however i decided to move is some vampires mainly Mephidross and Nocturnus to boost the specters late game. I know my mana is very insanely weak... but ive been dry running the deck against some of my faster decks and its kinda held up. Im not expecting to smash and crush ppl... however so far if i manage to put Mephidross, Nocturnos and Bloodline Keeper... things can get ugly for your enemies... and if malakir bloodwitch joins the party hello life :D. Now if anyone has suggestions of stuff to remove replace for land... or others please crit me to death. Just remember this deck is for the fun of it and im not to concerned about win turn 3.... Words of Waste and Geth's Grimoire is fun though

I'm building my own Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck right now, so I thought I'd give you some feedback based on my very limited Theorycrafting.

• I used to run a Balthor the Defiled deck and disassembled it because it became too predictable. While looking through my black cards, I did a double-take. Since I had to play mono-black with him at the helm, I forgot that he can return both red and black creatures. He doesn't hit the big colorless creatures, but I see big upside potential with him.
• With the amount of demons you run, Blood Speaker would be a huge help.
• Few of your creatures have haste. You might want to consider global haste enablers like Anger, Urabrask the Hidden, and Fervor.
• Is Fellwar Stone consistent enough for you? Rakdos decks tend to be very color intensive, so I'd recommend something guaranteed like Rakdos Signet, Chromatic Lantern (the bees knees in this deck), Coalition Relic, or Manalith.
• 31 Lands?! I know you said that it's kinda weak, but what?
• Elixir of Immortality seems weak and off-theme. I like the commitment to the specter theme (Specter's Shroud) but I don't get this one.
• Are there enough repeatable sources of guaranteed damage? Pestilence Demon is really on-theme [Pestilence and Pyrohemia are its predecessors], Staff of Nin is a draw engine that benefits Rakdos, and Stuffy Doll is just fun.
• Since this is a multiplayer list, did you consider Vedalken Orrery or Winding Canyons to cast things on opponents turns?
• With our high CMC creatures, Quicksilver Amulet and Sneak Attack look better and better. Recursion and sac outlets make them even better.

Just some thoughts, haven't even tested my initial list yet.

Lobber Crew is pretty cool and funny with Rakdos. If you drop it turn three you can cast Rakdos on turn four and then he untaps it. Then you can tap it again and if you're playing a four man game then you could cast something like Solemn Simulacrum for free.

no pestilence or pyrohemia? I would think that each point of damage into those would be the same as paying 3 colorless into a creature.

Most of the ppl i play with use black or red so fellwar stone works just fine... if it comes to it its just another colorless mana to help pay for costs... Elixer of immortality helps to recycle cards like Twilights Call and such graveyard recursion... i know i need my pestilence demon in here... the problem is my only one is in my Vish Kal deck which uses pestilence + deathtouch with Avacyn on the my side :D. I still run a Balthor the Defiled and its retardedly good

Funny though with the amount of lands i currently have i played it just yesterday against my buddy and didnt run into a mana issue... especially since i had Geth's Grimoire and 2 specters on the board... ended up getting my Mephidross Vampire + Vampire Nocturnos + Bloodline keeper ... and finished the game with a hard smack. The problem is right now i with i could plop more lands down faster from my hand when i start drawing crazy amounts of cards
