Thoughts I need sideboard help.

I say add bolts to you sb like  {Lightning Bolt} &  {Lightning Helix}. Maybe a  {Ball Lightning} or  {Spark Trooper} if you want some trample smashers

I think I'm dropping the trample hitters altogether.  I doesn't tie in with the deck theme

{Lightning Bolt} is main board. Modern, playing red, main board the bolt. You will not regret it.

Having something like  {Guardian Lions} or  {Indomitable Ancients} just to swing with each turn would be nice. So if they block, give their creature life link untill end of turn.

What about {Treasury Thrull}? This deck turns him into an insane tank.

EDIT: Not the Thrull, wth is his name? The Orzhov dude that gives them life... .poo. I can't remember

AHHH Found it! {Alms Beast}! He seems too good in this deck!

I was trying to figure out this deck.  I was like, how does he win giving his opponent life, and then I saw {Rain of Gore}.  Lol nice!

I love this!  It seems like it would be a lot of fun to play!!

I completely forgot about the alms beast.  It seems my memory really is terrible...

Im debating on what to take out for a card like that, also deck database has been updated, please post comments and concerns.

Maybe sideboard  {Contaminated Ground} if they aren't playing black or even if they are ha ha.  I found this card extremely annoying and costing me life everytime when I had to use it.  Think it's underrated honestly.

I'll check it up on cockatrice

These were a bit cumbersome and hurtful then helpful, contaminated ground also didn't work so well.  If I can I'm thinking about {grove of burnwillows} any thoughts?

Those would be extremely nice, at its worst, it's a colorless mana source, at its best, it reads "Add {R} to your mana pool, target opponent loses 1 life", seems pretty sick to me.

Cool now the ratio stumps me, of the land I don't know what to take out to make room. :(
Right now the idea is...

1 {dragonskull summit}
1 {isolated chapel}
1 {Clifftop Retreat}

Thoughts?

This doesnt work the way your hoping. Rain of gore says "if a spell or ability would cause it's controller to gain life" so making your opponent gain life with it out wouldn't do anything except give them more life

He can still target himself or his creatures with the spells.  They dont have to target his opponent.

I'm just saying cards like wall of shards or healing salve or oust will not trigger rain of gore to hurt your opponent. Obviously you can use cards like salve on yourself, but with rain of gore out that would only lose you life

Well this deck kinda got screwed over with recent news, so im gonna begin the start to fix it.  First up {sanguine blood} replaced rain of gore.  Other thoughts would help guys.

 {Path to Exile}
Is pretty good in any white deck

{rain of gore} would not work with {alms beast} because the opponent does not control the ability that gains him life.
