4 x rakdos cackler  4 x Gore-house chainwalker  4 x hellhole flailer  4 x thrill-kill assassin  2 x Rakdos, lord of riots  4 x lightning bolt  4 x deviant glee  4 x bump in the night  4 x nightbird's clutches  3 x rakdos keyrune  4 x sulfurous springs  4 x dragonskull summit  7 x mountain  7 x swamp  so got rid of the ash zealot really want the deck to focus on nightbirds clutches so flashback is important, seems better maybe could do with some first strike.

The Rakdos Keyrune  otherwise known as the Thragtusk  killer has first strike. I just remembered another good 1 drop is Diregraf Ghoul  . If its first strike you want a decent card to give everyone it is Legion Loyalist  , since it has haste its good early game and lategame to help finish them off giving everything first strike/trample and takes tokens out of the equation! If you want to make a sideboard I would suggest putting Madcap Skills  . I would playtest a bit and see what you perfer really, burn spells or creatures with enchantments or a mixture.

Personally I am not a fan of that deck. If you want some decent high mana cost creatures to use with Rakdos, Lord of Riots  I would suggest things like Furyborn Hellkite  since you have alot of things to do direct damage or any large high cost dragon that you perfer. You could also go with a demon theme since they are high mana cost and Radkos is a demon himself, something like Harvester of Souls  or Rune-Scarred Demon  that give you a big body and card advantage. For multiplayer, if thats what the deck is ment for you can also go with Molten Primordial  and/or Sepulchral Primordial  since they state for each opponent.

the furyborn hellkite is a great idea, i only wanted a few high mana cost creatures just in case i get chance to use them with rakdos's ability and really like the carnival hellsteed; 4 x goblin fireslinger  4 x thrill kill assassin  4 x hellhole flailer 4 x lobber crew  3 x Rakdos lord of riots  2 x carnival hellsteed  2 x furyborn hellkite  3 x rakdos keyrune 4 x shock  4 x bump in the night 4 x searing spear  4 x rakdos carnarium  4 x dragonskull summit 7 x mountain 7 x swamp is something like this better, i have playtested it and it does quite well, one problem is card draw tho the deck is a bit slow.

Its looking pretty good, a card worth playtesting with is Madcap Skills I was surprised how insane that card can be in a deck with Thrill-Kill Assassin  . I would try swapping them for the Bump in the Night  and see how you like it. If you have the duals or ability to splash blue Curiosity  is an awsome card to have on Goblin Fireslinger  and/or Lobber Crew  . In color theres not a ton of good card draw options, red has things like Faithless Looting  but it has a drawback to it or things like Wheel of Fortune  / Reforge the Soul  but that helps your opponents as much as you. Black can draw with things like Cremate  which most people use against decks with Snapcaster Mage  / Deathrite Shaman  . Altar's Reap  is another type that works better with undying creatures Butcher Ghoul  or if you like stealing there creatures Act of Treason  .

What is your Budget? Do you have any Format or Legality restrictions?
I'd be running 24 lands here. I'd be looking at something like Dimir House Guard  or FleshWrither  to help you reliably find Rakdos, Lord Of Riots  . I feel like you should be running cheap creatures which enable you to repeatedly deal damage to your opponent - Goblin FireSlinger  and Tormented Soul  come to mind. I feel like Rakdos, Lord Of Riots works best (of the decks I've seen) in a BloodThirst shell - thoughts? I'm not super sold on KnollSpine Dragon  here - I think FlameBlast Dragon  might be a better choice. I recently built a Rakdos, Lord Of Riots deck, which I'll post here for inspirations: Spoiler:

Crimson Muckwader  is a better version of Gore-House Chainwalker  . If you want to roll with Rakdos, Lord of Riots , Tormented Soul is excellent; full of flavor given the guild's sadomasochistic bent. Try augmenting it with a pump enchantment. Geralf's Messenger  and Blood Artist  are also options for a Rakdos deck. Vexing Devil  is a bad card for this deck; it only works in Legacy Burn. To make the best of Rakdos's ability, run a toolbox of slightly higher-end creatures.
