I'm playing this Wednesday at our shop's Standard night, and I've built two decks to choose from: Golgari & Rakdos.
The meta at our shop seems to change just a pinch every week, but here are the ones I've run into recently: Esper (eff my life), Mono Black, Mono Blue (eff my life again), & Mono Red.
I've play-tested both decks against Gruul & Mono Blue, and they both hold up. Gruul was beaten over and over, and Rakdos won every time against both; Golgari won about half the time against Mono Blue.
So which one should I run?! I love them both!
Sounds like Rakdos is the better match up. Do prefer either one?
Maybe grixis :P
=P
I do love love love my Rakdos, and it seems SUPER aggressive (which is what I need against Mono Blue and Esper); but I also worked very hard to create my Golgari. So either way, I'll be happy. I just wanted some extra advice.
Both :) hopefully!
Choose the top 30 cards of each deck and combine them.

Yes.....{Slaugher Games} is definitely going into my Sideboard.

I run the same Rakdos one and it's awesome also I like how you are too cheap for {Thoughtseizes} (just like me Lmfao) I run Duress instead just like you lol
(Also 2x Duress MB and 4x Duress SB is kinda illegal lol so fix that :D)

I haven't fixed my sideboard because I'm lazy. Please disregard. And I sideboard two more Thoughtseizes (one of them is foil), so I'm not too cheap for them ;) gotta stay classy!
Oh missed that lol anyways the Rakdos deck is awesome but I found problems vs. mono Black but now that I see your deck list {Ultimate Price} might help that bc in G1 I had a handful of Doom Blades ... 😔
I'd go with rakdos
