Rakdos Group Slug/Control
Deck Help forum

Hello. I'm brewing a rakdos group slug/controllish EDH deck (link below) that aims to punish all players for every play they make while neutralizing my opponents' resources.
I'm having more trouble than usual cutting the deck down to 100 cards, so I am asking for some second opinions.
Let me know what you think!

Hello,
37 cards to cut are a lot, but I thnk that i can help you to help something:
Phyrexian Reclamation : I think that you can cut this because it makes you pay life, and life is a very important resurce running symmetrical life-loss effects like Sulfuric Vortex or Havoc Festival , and already having things like Greed you really can cut this.
Lethal Vapors : I don't like it because it's very easy to deal with it, simply because it has an ability to let the opponents destroy it, and sometimes your opponents will be happy to skip a turn if you have things like Havoc Festival or Spiteful Visions .
Outpost Siege : I don't know if you play it for the khans or the dragons effect. The dragons effect is bad here, because you don't have enough creatures to abuse of it, and I think that you run enough card advantage engines, probably you don't need more.
Mana Crypt : This card has no sense in this deck, because it has an effect that makes you lose life during the game (really not each turn, but lose 3 lifes each, more or less, 2 turns is considerable), and if you want to take advantage of things like Sulfuric Vortex , playing this card is like stabbing yourself.
I think that you can go without some Targeted Removals, simply because you have a lot of cards that wipe the board (not only of creatures).
I hope that this helped you :)
