I've faced a very similar deck as this a few times, it is very difficult to deal with. I suggest adding another  {Hellrider} and another {Pyreheart Wolf} as well as add 2 more {Thunderous Wrath} (you want to have  a better chance at miricleing it).  I would take out {Annihilating Fire} for them.

With the hellriders and the pyrehearts i tried running 4 of each and it slowed the deck down alot. I tried with 2 of each and i never got em out. So i decided on 3 of each and now i am getting them out on turn 3 and 4 nine times out of 10.

As for the wraths. You dont wanna have too many of them. Cause if you have 1 or 2 in your opening hand your screwed. But if you lower the amount. Chances are you wont have them in your opening hand and you will be able to draw them alot better. Its kinda 50/50 you know

[MetalMadMan]

You're getting amazing draws if you're able to cast hell rider turn 4 consistently with 20 land. I run 24 and still occasionally stall out at three. That being said, I'd still suggest you up your land count, at least to 22. Consider {Hellion Crucible}, it rocks socks against control.

Im considering dropping 2 annihilating fire for those hellions

[Juggleboy360]

I run 4 Hellriders and 4 Pyrehearts, and 23 seems like the sweet spot for me. I do like the 2 Wraths, but have avoided them because I hate having them in opening hand.

Exactly my point

[Silent1236]

I run four {Hellrider}s because I see their strength in numbers.  Same with {Bloodlord of Vaasgoth}.  If you have 2 {Hellrider}s out by turn five, swing with all 5 (hopefully) creatures you should have, and instant ten damage.

Yes, there's almost nothing better than two consecutive Hellriders.

I think the deck looks good.  Very balanced.  The only thing I would suggest is some graveyard hate in your sideboard.  Maybe {tormod's crypt}. I don't know what your local meta is like, but mine has a couple reanimator decks in it.

Mine is running g/w populate and golgari

[Harmon74]

I don't know how I feel about the  {Markov Blademaster} what's the deal with him? How had he been?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.  I'd probably run the 2 drop haste rakdos guy in its place, but if you get the blade master out with a pyrheart wolf, he could get good really fast.

[MetalMadMan]

Dropped Blademaster and Stonewright
Added 4 shread-freak 1 wrath and 3 volley

Runs alot smoother

[Tetsomori]

Still say rdw needs {thundermaw hellkite}

[Xaol]

Take out {Vexing Devil} for {thundermaw Hellkite}, unless you are going for budget RDW

[MetalMadMan]

Now how does it look. Took out the 3 wraths and 3 volleys. Added 3 hellkite and 3 land
