Please leave suggestions! Master of Cruelties is the only card that absolutely must be in here. This is a mostly complete build shooting for budget Rakdos colors. The possibility of going Mardu or Grixis is there, but I'd need to see something cool that supports the win con.

A sub-theme of Demons is present and I'd like to preserve this. I don't insist on going tribal but I'd like at least 6 of the 60 to be Demons.

Edit: Mortician Beetle is our 1-drop of choice so I'd like to explore sacrifice options. All I know of are Fleshbag Marauder and Merciless Executioner. Any Black players out there wanna help me out?

Edit 2: As of May 17th, the deck is running 65 cards. I'm not sure what to remove to bring it down to 60. This will be played in a pretty casual but fairly fast (and modern) setting. Go for the Throat is perhaps the most efficient and budget friendly removal spell for me. Artifact creatures don't come up in my play group, but Vampires and Zombies sometimes do, so Victim of the night is inferior. Additionally, GftT has a very forgiving mana cost in terms of color requirements!
