Live game against a tournament deck —Dec. 2, 2012
White Human Soulbound lifelink Doublestrike & +1/+1 counter for each creature that came into play
My opening hand was mediocre, and his he said was one of his better hands. Won by burning creatures and using 2 and then 3x Hellrider
Second game game bad opening hand vs bad opening hand. Got mana screwed (stuck at 3 for several rounds) in the end, couldn't out damage the lifelink doublestrike and lost. Got him down to 11 from 20 3 times, but several arrests hurt and I got put on the defensive.
No 3rd game.
I feel confident that even against a good deck and being smart about muligans, this deck would win 2 out of 3.
Wish I could play this deck online in some fashion for more practice.
-4 Slitherhead -4 Rakdos Guildgate -2 Desecration Demon +4 Dragonskull Summit +1 Blood Crypt +1 Pillar of Flame +3 Searing Spear +1 mountain.
This deck is a aggro deck that has a decent amount of burn/removal. with only 20 lands you will constantly suffer from mana screwing. these are only suggestions i think that they will help the deck run better.

looks better but you need to cut 3 cards to make it a 60 card deck also Slaughter Games is something to think about in your side board,

i'm not sure how i feel about so many dmg spells and removals

in the format right now heavy removal and burn will win you games paired with quick creatures like what you have here.

how about replacing the 3x Brimstone Volley for 3x Lobber Crew and going 4x Hellrider killing 2x Rakdos, Lord of Riots

getting rid of the rakdos for the rider is a good move but the lobber crew isn't good in anything except limited.

4-Stromkirk Noble for 4+Vexing Devil . In my opinion,Stromkirk Noble is too slow.

The deck looks a lot more like aggro than control to me. Add a fourth Blood Crypt if you can, and replace the Rakdos Guildgates with Dragonskull Summit s. Move the Annihilating Fires to the sideboard and cut one Brimstone Volley for three Searing Spear s and a third Pillar of Flame. I would probably run 4x Stromkirk Noble over the Slitherheads and 2x Hellrider in place of either the Desecration Demons or the Rakdos, Lord of Riots.
