Rakdos Midrange 60 cards, 0 sideboard 14 {Swamp} 6 {Mountain} 4 {Blood Crypt} 24 lands 4 {Child of Night} 3 {Sire of Insanity} 4 {Young Pyromancer} 2 {Pontiff of Blight} 3 {Liliana's Reaver} 16 creatures 3 {Shrieking Affliction} 3 {Doom Blade} 3 {Corrupt} 1 {Diabolic Tutor} 4 {Shock} 2 {Act of Treason} 2 {Dreadbore} 2 {Rakdos's Return} 20 other spells Sideboard Notes: So most of my friends play control, i made this deck to see if it could stop them and so far its doing great, but does anyone have any thoughts on how to improve this?

Thinking maybe some {Vampire Nighthawk} over  {Child of Night} while it is still standard

I def agree, you beat me to it. 3 mana for a flying deathtouch lifelink??? Yes please! That with {lightning talons}?

Uhm.  Where's {Olivia Voldaren} in here? Sire is awful.

uh wheres your nice attitude... obviously  yours is awful.

You must've never heard of constructive critisicum. I'm saying "Olivia Is a better choice than sire"

You're welcome.

I actually really like site in the control matchup, I think that you should generally top deck better than a control deck with sire. Also another reason for site in control is that Olivia just kind of sits there when they don't play creatures unless you want to ping your own

Yes sire is good against control, but how many people are playing control lately? Alot of the standard format right now have creature heavy decks. If anything, sire is a sideboard card. Jund realized that pretty quickly, that's why you don't even see them play it anymore. Ruric thar is way better for them anyways.

Ya but this is rakdos not jund, and if sire is in there maybe there is a decent amount of control in their meta, we can't be sure. But ya Olivia is a better card for vs creature decks
