A new option for Shadowborn Apostles (spoilers)

Commander Deck Help forum

So I have a Shadowborn Apostle deck led by Athreos, God of Passage here Reaper Born. Problem is I can't put Malfegor, Master of Cruelties, and Rakdos, Lord of Riots into the deck...

Enter our new Rakdos Blood Witch Judith

Now she isn't as hard to remove as Athreos but I like that she will do 6 damage split where I choose when I activate the Apostles. Currently people just take 6-9 life loss and then I have to use a mass re-animator anyways. Don't get me wrong Athreos is cool and powerful but also quite random and can't always be counted on. I will always know what Judith will do for me. I consider the deck more of a demon deck than an apostle deck too and will get to use more demons like I've been wanting.

Here is what I've got so far Judith's Shadowborn Pact.

I'm just not sure what else should go in or if there are some things to remove?

Thanks for your thoughts.

TypicalTimmy definitely another direction I need to consider before I commit to anything. I really want to do a rakdos demon deck with the apostles but I guess maybe I'm just better off with what I have built...

The image is just ripped straight from scryfall. Opened the image on scryfall in a new tab and then used the 'image' button on here to have it appear. Scryfall likes there images big I guess. It is pretty sweet, especially with her artwork.

I had considered turning my Meren of Clan Nel Toth list into a RB list using this leader. The only real thing the deck loses is Birthing Pod and Sakura-Tribe Elder, but gains a plentiful amount of demons to and other sacrifice outlets to add to the deck.
