I am looking into building a R/B deck with control elements and big finishers.

I've been tweaking it slowly over the last week and have had moderate success but am lacking that consistent end game at the end.

The plan, obviously, is to control the board and then deal damage through lack of creatures to sacrifice to Mogis, God of Slaughter, getting Demigod of Revenge down and Gray Merchant of Asphodel to finish.

I've tried cards like Gurmag Angler, Vampire Nighthawk, Blightning and Thought Hemorrhage etc. and the current build seems slightly more consistent.

The sideboard seems able to deal with alot of decks too. Illness in the ranks shuts down tokens/ Young Pyromancer, Crumble to Dust and Anathemancer work well against Tron etc..

Unsure if Slaughter Games should be mainboard, but i'll throw it out there and see what ideas people have.
