I just hit Platinum with it in ranked Explorer yesterday, mostly I've just been using it for getting the daily quests done. I've been on a pretty heavy Brawl kick lately, though.

I have lots of 60-card decks like this one here that are pretty well done & perform well enough to make it up at least past the halfway mark in Ranked.

Rather than continuing to sink Wildcards into these 60-card decks testing/trying new tweaks, however, I've been making more use of my full collection in 100 card singleton. I like the more obscure builds & while this Rakdos Menace certainly fits the bill for me, it gets old needing to keep dumping 4x wildcards into each new thing I want to test out.

I'll likely still do a bit of ladder climbing with this deck though, and when I really enjoy a deck I'm always open to new teaks/suggestions (hence why I keep cycling it here on TappedOut). I'll see how far into Platinum I can get before the meta gets too boring for me and I go back to Brawl.

Feel free to hit me up on Arena too if you see me on, I'm always happy to talk deck tech or run test games with different deck brews!

Yeah, dealing First Strike damage with Goldhound makes it really easy to get a double trigger off the Face-Breaker in combats, and then being able to sacrifice the tapped Goldhound itself for card advantage after the treasures are created is just... < chef's kiss >

I definitely think the prowlers are a good one to drop for them too, namely since they can't be pumped with the Labyrinth Raptors.

You might also look at Sonorous Howlbonder. It's one I phased out of my build in favor of running the Pestilent Spirits full-time, but there still are a few games where I do miss him. Combined with the raptor triggers he lets you turn your board into a lethal attack extremely early, even against decks with massive creature (blocker) presence.

In any case, good choices thus far. Feel free to add me on Arena if you ever want to run some test games or even just discuss deck & meta tech. Info is on my profile here - Cheers!

I have a very similar deck I've been running for a couple years now. You've got some decent picks here; slightly different direction than I went. +1

Take a look at my deck if you want to cherry-pick for some other things: Rakdos Menace (MTG Arena Build)

One notable difference I see is I find the synergy of Professional Face-Breaker with the Goldhounds can make for some really reliable ramp. Maybe something to give a try. Either way cheers!
