I'm making a sort of rakdos control deck that aims at locking my opponent out of the game with things like 4 thoughtsieze/inquisition of kozilek, lots of creature removal, and 4 Mainboard {blood moon}. I just need finisher creatures. I have {Olivia voldaren}, {bloodghast} and {gatekeeper of Malakir} for those pesky infect decks(firly precisely in my meta).

Rakdos doesn't really have any good control creatures as they don't protect themselves and you don't have blue to back yourself up. That being said there's,

{Griselbrand}

{Sheoldred, Whispering One}

That's all I can think of.

Maybe you could put {master of cruelties} to work.

I always liked {Ashenmoor liege} With hasty creatures like {rakdos shredfreak} {sootstoke kindler} {rakdos cackler} and {Ashenmoor gouger}

I don't agree with this. Especially for control.

Lol funny story, at a modern event a few months back I beat an Abzan control list with my wilted Abzan simply because he was at 4 life with a bob out and flipped a Tasigur :)

Controll is the whole reason to play bob.... Your spells are cheap and it gives you extra draw power that you need to keep up in controll

It has happened to me and makes me sad when it happens but it is a risk worth taking
