An idea of a Rakdos control deck I am working on. I put it here just to playtest it.

Besides the occasional Desecration Demon beat stick, the main win-con in here is to get Master of Cruelties over to the opponent once using stuff like Rogue's Passage, Chandra, Pyromaster's first ability, and all the creature control. Then use smaller burn spells to finish off the last 1 damage (Magma Jet, Rakdos's Return , swing with Desecration Demon or just use Chandra, Pyromaster's first ability again)

Another awesome thing about this deck is using Rakdos's Return to make the opponent discard their entire hand. That happens more often than you may think!

My one thought right now is that Read the Bones gives huge card advantage and I may consider putting one more in here but don't know what to place it for. If you can, playtest with this deck then let me know if you find a way to make it better.
