Abuse rakdos as much as possible

If deck gets repetitive you can TARGET OPPONENTS with Rakdos. This can be used defensively against blue players by trying to exile and use their own counter spells. Scheming Symmetry is really fun mind games when you can target opponents

Forsaken Miner + Phyrexian Altar lets you mill out the table

Hoarding Broodlord + Saw in Half gets Forsaken Miner and Phyrexian Altar or for whatever reason if they aren't available Reckless Barbarian and Mortuary as a way to dig for a Blood Artist effect to drain the table. But that's more situational

You can set up a line to deck youself by doing Reckless Barbarian and Mortuary loops till you eventually find other combo pieces or a Blood Artist effect

Blood Pet can be used for a similar line but it also needs a Blood Artist effect to kill the table as it can only exile itself off of rakdos unlike Reckless Barbarian who can exile it and something else to dig

Reassembling Skeleton can be used with Pitiless Plunderer and either Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar to loop through anyone's deck
