the title says the all, well...maybe not all of it. It's a pretty heavily theme based deck featuring Ogre's and Demon. That and Rakdos likes to Burninate the field with his whole "Sack half your non-demon permanents" thing he's got going on. any suggestions are always helpful. thanks guys and gals.
Herald of Leshrac. Since most of your creatures are demons, Rakdos is mainly gonna be making you sacrifice lands. Why should you have to sacrifice your own?
This deck needs Lightning Greaves BADLY. Nothing is worse than having to sac half your non-Demon permanents and then Rakdos eats a removal spell/bounce spell/whatever. Plus, haste will make sure Rakdos will strike immediately the moment you cast him.
And how is Twinstike working out for you? It doesn't seem like you'd be Hellbent too easy. IMO Hex is way better for only 1 more mana. For that matter Sudden Death seems to be a bit out of place. If it's working for you great but it seems too limited.
In my opinion if you have cash, you are not a bum, you are an adventurer. Bums are poor and eat dead birds on the side of the road cuz they have no other options.
I eat dead birds at the side of the road, they call it KFC over here.

I like the General's Kabuto though good call (Lightening Greaves still has it beat), I completely over looked that card, and Ghostly Flame is just Tech
Maybe a little tutoring if you can sqeeze it in.
Other then that I like this deck very much. Some food for thought, I would put in some more Changelings.

And maybe Demigod of Revenge?
Goblin Assassin could be fun, especially with Goblin Assault or Rakdos Guildmage. No suggestions as to what to take out though sorry.
I prefer Burst Lightning to Lightning Bolt in EDH for the added flexibility but that's a personal choice.
Oh, and check out the other Rakdos build in the EDH listing... http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?p=3594821#post3594821
He's got some good ideas, like Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder and Ward Of Bones.
