Hey All, Been away from the game for a while and in one of my first booters of RTR pulled Rakdos, Lord of Riots. Built the following deck around him. Land count is a little lower than I would like and I need help picking what needs to come out. This configuration of the deck is aimed at multiplayer play. Would probably sub out alot of the multiplayer damagers like Lobber Crew/Skull Rend/Kaboom/Faultline for cheaper/recurring burn like Hammer of Bogarden  or something Any suggestions are appreciated. Commander: Rakdos, Lord of Riots  Creatures (30) 2 Pathrazer of Ulamog  3 Dread Cacodemon  4 Spawnsire of Ulamog  5 Artisan of Kozilek  6 Pestilence Demon  7 Magmatic Force  8 Avatar of Woe  9 Tsabo Tavoc  10 Kaervek the Merciless  11 Stalking Vengeance  12 Knollspine Dragon  13 Sheoldred, Whispering One  14 Rune-Scarred Demon  15 Steel Hellkite  16 Duplicant  17 Darksteel Sentinel  Pestilence/Pyrohemia protection 18 Bloodgift Demon  19 Ob Nixilis, the Fallen  20 Stuffy Doll  21 Psychosis Crawler  22 Solemn Simulacrum  23 Cryptborn Horror  24 Lobber Crew  25 Rakdos Ickspitter  26 Dauthi Horror  27 Dauthi Cutthroat  28 Shepherd of Rot  29 Goblin Fireslinger  30 Mogg Fanatic  31 Pulse Tracker  Artifacts (13) 32 Sol Ring  33 Talisman of Indulgence  34 Rakdos Keyrune  (Not just about the mana, after a late game board wipe, can help get damage to recast Rakdos) 35 Darksteel Ingot  36 Chromatic Lantern  37 Gilded Lotus  38 Vedalken Orrery  (Cuz all the player damage you need doesn't always happen on your turn amirite?) 38 Swiftfoot Boots  Protectin the Lord of Riots 39 Lightning Greaves  Protectin the LoR 40 Champion's Helm  41 Darksteel Plate  42 Onyx Goblet  43 Staff of Nin  Enchantments (7) 44 Bloodchief Ascension  45 Seal of Fire  46 Goblin Bombardment  47 Pestilence  48 Pyrohemia  49 Subversion  50 Exquisite Blood  Instants/Sorceries (3/9) 51 Rakdos Charm  52 Terminate  53 Chaos Warp  54 Sever the Bloodline  55 Dreadbore  56 Diabolic Tutor  57 Diabolic Revelation  58 Killing Wave  59 Damnation  60 Exsanguinate  61 Kaboom!  Good chance of hitting for 5+ with all the bombs in the deck 62 Explosive Revelation  Same as Kaboom on a smaller scale plus a draw Planeswalkers (1) 63 Liliana of the Dark Realms  Lands (36) 64 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth  65 Shivan Gorge  (AOE LAND DAMAGE!) 66 Volrath's Stronghold  67 Thespian's Stage  Can copy anything below 68 Cabal Coffers  69 Command Tower  70 Blood Crypt  71 Rakdos Guildgate  72 Rakdos Carnarium  73 Graven Cairns  74 Tainted Peak  75 Sulfurous Springs  75 Blackcleave Cliffs  76 Dragonskull Summit  77 Leechridden Swamp  (AOE LAND DRAIN!) 78 Piranha Marsh  (1 Time Land Drain) 79 Bojuka Bog  80 Spinerock Knoll  81 Homeward Path  _l_ to Bribery/Insurrection and the like 82 Eldrazi Temple  83- 92 Swamp  93-100 Mountain

2 cards i'd consider taking out would be the quest for the nihil stone, and rakdos keyrune.
You don't have enough discard to guarantee they won't have cards in their hand, and people will play around it.
The keyrune is just fragile, better to have a land in it's place, and a 3/1 isn't much of a threat.

if you want to go single player then Rakdos Ickspitter can get nasty */1 out of the way and do damage to your opponent too Smoldering Tar  might fit in here as well

No Darksteel Colossus  ? Also, keep the Greaves for the Haste if nothing else. Also, bump in the night seems pretty terrible here.

While your Rakdos is much different from the one I made and play (and it works very well in both duels and multi-player with only a few cards swapped, as Breath of Malfegor  and syphon spells aren't as good in duels...), one card I see that are in both of ours is Grinning Ignus  . There is no infinite with him, as he takes red to cast and red to bounce, but he does generate 2 colorless each time, with is good for big X spells like Comet Storm  and Exsanguinate for wins that don't involve creatures. I persoanlly like to have Blightsteel Colossus  , Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre  , and It That Betrays  for added fun. In case you worry too much about a badly-time Bribery  from your opponent, just be sure you have plenty of removal and perhaps add in the always-useful-to-red Red Elemental Blast  for the surprise play of the game. I like the style of this one though!
If I'm right, I'm right. If I'm wrong, I still believe I'm right. Think of it as religion. dubito ergo sum.

Truth be told, I hadn't even thought of the Colossi. Ulamog costs a lil more than I was willing to spend for one beat stick. What would you take out for the colossi and Smoldering Tar? In what ways is mine that different?
I think I agree about the Keyrune, Bump in the Night and Quest, so taking those out for 2 swamps and a mountain.
