I picked Murae Ryuji’s deck from the Grand Prix because it reminds me best of Pedro Carvalho’s take on red aggro, and I think this is better positioned than the traditional black version with Messenger.

私は、むらえ　りゅうじがグランプリで使ったデッキがPedro Carvalho’sの最高の赤いデッキを思い出させたので取り上げる事にしました。そしてそれは、良く見るメッセンジャー入りの黒が濃いバージョンに対し有利だと思います。

What I like: It still has many of the best threats in the format, and while the curve doesn’t fit the traditional model, it retains the massive threats, and the mana isn’t garbage for a straightforward aggro deck..

良いと思ったところ：それは、このフォーマットでとても多く存在する脅威であり一般的であるタイプとは違いますが、大きな脅威を保持し、そしてマナベースが汚いアグロではありません。

Regarding this version specifically—Cathedral of War? What madness is this!? The deck has three colorless tapped lands, and no Guildgates in an archetype that usually struggles even with 20 of 24 land saying B in the text. Although, Cathedral backed by Knight of Infamy can actually give you enough exalted to bash through with your typically useless one-drops, and makes Ash Zealot that much better.

具体的には―戦の大聖堂？なんだこの狂喜は！？
このデッキには3つの無色のタップインランドがあって、通常のタイプはギルドゲートをいれるぐらい黒マナを揃えるのに苦労します。
しかし、大聖堂と悪名の騎士のバックアップは、あなたの立ち往生しているクリーチャーを対戦相手に通す事が出来、そしてとても強い灰の盲信者を作ることが出来ます。

Bonfire of the Damned is an interesting choice over more spot removal like Tragic Slip or Ultimate Price. Considering the current format, I don’t feel like Bonfire of the Damned is particularly well suited to the deck, but much like Geist of Saint Traft there will be a number of games where it just wins you the game outright.

よく見る悲劇的な過ちや究極の価格ではなく忌むべき者のかがり火を採用したのは面白い選択だと思います。
今のフォーマットを考慮すると、私は忌むべき者のかがり火はこのデッキに適しているとは思いません。しかし聖トラフトの霊に勝てるゲームは明らかに多くなるでしょう。

Still, with the now solidly red mana base, I like Mizzium Mortars again, as it takes down nearly every relevant creature and the overload is valuable against the 4cc Midrange decks. The majority of these decks just load up the clown car with as many X/4 bodies or Huntmaster of the Fells as they can, and this is one way to break through. Bonfire of the Damned simply can’t get it done against those board states unless you get it off of a miracle.

とてもマナベースが赤いので、私は4ccミッドレンジにとてもよく効くミジウム迫撃砲の方が好きです。メジャーなデッキが使うタフネス4のクリーチャーや狩りの達人をまとめて突破することが出来ます。
そして、ミジウムは相手だけを打ち倒します。かがり火では、奇跡を起こさないとそれらをまとめて相手するのは難しいでしょう。

I actually think if you really wanted an X-spell, Rakdos’s Return would be a nice addition to the sideboard for these decks. Even a Blightning for 2BR is going to do a lot of damage to the midrange and grindy control decks that really need to make the most of every card. The weakness of being just a dumb fireball in the late-game is mitigated by Sphinx’s Revelation forcing you to deal another 4-10 damage.

あなたがXスペルを使いたいのであれば、ラクドスリターンはサイドボードにオススメです。
2BRの荒廃稲妻でさえ、全てのカードを最大限に使う必要のあるミッドレンジやコントロールには大きなダメージを与えることが出来るでしょう。
これの弱いところは、引くのが遅いと単に弱い火の玉で、スフィンクスの啓示によって4-10点のダメージを緩和されるところです。

Returns are pretty dead in the opener, but come on, look at the curve on the deck. If you don’t like that, then what about Devil’s Play? The card is relevant early on and can easily be a double spot removal spell or great finisher later in the game.

復活は初手では完全に死に札です。しかし、デッキのカーブを見てください。それが好きでない場合、小悪魔の遊びはどうでしょう？このカードは序盤から終盤まで、2つの箇所で役に立ちますよ。

There’s a definite gap in power level, at least of the brute force variety, with this deck compared to others. There’s a reason Grand Prix Nagoya had five of the top eight slots taken up by B/R Aggro, and six of the 9th-16th place players were rocking the same aggressive shells. Even if you can’t stand the deck there’s, no denying the massive power it holds and it should still be at the top of anyone’s test list if you aren’t playing it.

What I dislike: Most builds aren’t like this and the mana bases have long been disaster zones. Try drawing a Rakdos Guildgate as a 4th or 5th land with a relevant creature in hand. Many versions also have major issues with the Rhox Faithmender sideboard plan UWx decks can implement, though this is something that can be solved with liberal use of Victim of Night and Sever the Bloodline.

Drawing the wrong side of your deck is just as big an issue here as it is with many of the clunky control and midrange options available. Drawing a random 2-power dork after turn three is a paddling, and the same goes for drawing Hellrider and Thundermaw Hellkite after naming Zombie with Cavern of Souls to cast Geralf’s Messenger.

Speaking of Messenger, I have to really wonder if Rakdos cares about playing him anymore. Messenger is not only the biggest strain on the mana, but is slow, unwieldy and absolute garbage on the draw against aggression. A number of players have posted builds that omit him and had success, with Kazumasa Satou and Ryuji’s builds best illustrating what I mean.

めんどうになったので後は誰かお願いします。
