I kinda want to make a rakdos colored theme deck with all the really silly stupid cards like rain of gore and so on, but I am curious has anyone seen a viable creaturesless r/b edh?
Kaervek the Merciless can actually be built pretty well. Load it up with lots of punisher effects like Ankh of Mishra. Going creature-less, you have the option to pack it with sweepers as well. Red damage sweepers such as Starstorm will be great with Repercussion. Fill it out with spot removal, black/artifact draw, perhaps some pillowfort elements such as Ensnaring Bridge, and maybe some life gain effects to beat the symmetry of the punisher effects.
Mogis, God of Slaughter from the upcoming Born of the Gods set might work. He is a BR 7/5 Indestructible Legendary Enchantment Creature. At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, that player can either sacrifice a creature or lose 2 life.
With few creatures (or other non-land permanents) on your field, he will remain an indestructible enchantment. That tends to be pretty difficult to remove, even relative to an indestructible creature.

Anyone know the best way to ramp in these colors? a ot o the more fun red black cards cost a good bit of mana

Artifact mana is your best bet. Sol Ring, Rakdos Signet, Mind Stone, Worn Powerstone, Coalition Relic, Thran Dyanamo, etc.
The other option is the so-called "mana doublers" in Exraplanar Lens, Gauntlet of Power, and Caged Sun. Since you are red, you get access to Gauntlet of Might, and in black you get Cabal Coffers (usually in tandem with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth), Nirkana Revenant, Crypt Ghast, Magus of the Coffers, and the ultimate on Liliana of the Dark Realms. These will often work better when the mana is tilted significantly in one direction over another, but they are sill often work the investment.
