I've only played a couple of one-ofs but Pitchburn Devils is getting cut. I am adding Sign in Bloods to the deck.

I hope I will be able to play this with The Pauper Gauntlet starting and all. Looks really fun! I will wait for the updated list though. Maybe just -3 Pitchburn, +3 Sign, +1 Swamp, -1 Mountain?
Or are there other changes as well? I could see not running the full four sign in a deck that will have a hard time casting it early ... on the other hand, there is always one card you could cut for a Sign in Blood

Hello! I love the pod cast!
Anyway, I played against the deck night before last and I called it Rakdos Sac and Slash (for dramatic effect)
It is on the MagicGatheringStrat channel:
If it was not this very same deck, it is a real close copy.

I played it in two matches last night (sadly did not record) and won both. But I was never happy seeing the devils. 100% agree to adding the sign in bloods

This deck has no game vs. Flicker. I played deathsmoke? last night and again today ~ I ran BUG Flicker and he was playing the Radkos BOM. I won 2-0 very easily.
After the match was over I asked him if he wouldn't mind playing that deck against me playing BUG Flicker and he said he had Flicker as well. We played 10 matches and I went 5-0 in the matches counting my previous win with an overall record of 10-1 in the game record. He went 4-1 matches & 8-3 game record.
Even with Duress and Mind Rot in the SB Flicker can quickly rebuild it's hand and come back from seemingly impossible odds. Act of Treason rarely connects ~ it would be awesome if it were an instant.
What decks is everyone facing?

I think I am going to try Altar's reap cost is 1 Black mana and a colorless and it's instant try for a 2 for 1 draw 2 and kill a creature.

In my two matches, one was against a crazy three color sliver build. A large number of 1/1's did not hold up.
The other match was a UB controlish build. I will try to record my next few matches for reference.

Is Super Cool
A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place.

Question. Are we limited to modifying the already posted deck, or are we allowed to formulate anything Rakdos?

I've played three more with the build and went 1-2.
0-2 vs. yeah you got it Flickergate. Not even with black in it. Way too much life gain.
1-2 vs. BW Extort - I had to bail early in game three, might have won it but I quit and it's a loss.
2-0 vs. BW Extort - Played all in agro no holds barred.

Holy Cow I beat Flicker!
2-0 vs. 4 color Flickergate - it went to time. I had nearly 20 minutes left and he didn't. Time clock management - it's your friend and you should be using it. I used my removal very effectively and made it through and am very happy counting this as a win.
Still my overall win record is only 3-6 with all but one loss vs. Flickergate.

Hey guys brewed up my take on this deck, but having trouble playing against other standard pauper decks any advice on how to test against the correct meta? Edit: I figured out how to template standard pauper. So here's my take on this months brew - Lands
4 Orzhov Guildgate 7 Plains 8 Swamp 2 Evolving Wilds
Creatures
3 Doomed Traveler 3 Selfless Cathar 4 Loyal Cathar 3 Unruly Mob 2 Capashen Knight 3 Bloodflow Connoisseur 3 Falkenrath Torturer 3 Master of Diversion
Spells
3 Tragic Slip 3 Dead Weight 4 Gather the Townsfolk 3 Sign in Blood 2 Spare From Evil
Side Board
3 Altar's Reap 3 Driver of the Dead 3 Duress 3 Gravepurge 3 Mind Rot
I swapped red for white b/c I felt the color was more proactive with what the deck was trying to do by leveraging it's sac outlets to give you another body on the board. having trouble with flicker-gate and slivers. I think the deck is a bit schizophrenic and am having trouble fine tuning the list. Thoughts?
