I saw the mono-b cat/oven combo being played at my lgs the other day and thought about how to maximize value for each sacrifice. R/B allows for some serious value using Mayhem Devil and, to a slightly lesser extent, Judith, the Scourge Diva to sacrifice for bonus damage as well as Claim the Firstborn which allows you to steal up to 3cmc creatures from opponents to swing and sacrifice. God-Eternal Bontu seems like a strange addition, I know, but I tried Rix Maadi Reveler and it just didn't give me what I had hoped for with the hand refill. Bontu only costs one more than spectacle anyways and he allows you to wipe your own board to cause massive damage on etb if you keep mayhem devil out so I put him back in for fun and utility. Bontu is also a big threat along with Spawn of Mayhem to hopefully keep some heat off the real combo pieces like the ovens/cats and devils/Judith. Chandra, Acolyte of Flame for the free elemental tokens to swing'n'ping and throw in the oven. Also some cheap removal and burn for handling threats. I think I covered everything else with the sideboard but I'm open for suggestions! Thanks! Also, I really wanted to find a use for Manifold Key , but it just seemed clunky to me so I dropped it. Also also, this deck still works decently with Rakdos Guildgate and Evolving Wilds so if you don't have 4 Blood Crypt or 2 Fabled Passage fear not!
