I'm working on a Rakdos discard deck and it starts to run out of steam in the mid to late game. I was wondering if there were any good black or red cards that would get my sorcery discard spells back to my hand somehow, gatherer isn't much help. Any help would be appreciated, love the blog
In red and black (particularly if this is for Standard) your options for recurring noncreature cards are pretty much nonexistent. Outside of Standard, you have Shrouded Lore (in black) and Anarchist (in red), but not much else.
At the end of the day, if you want to recur instants and/or sorceries, you really want to be in blue (or green, which can recur anything).
A different option might be to slot in some cards that don’t necessarily help your discard strategy, but can finish the game against a crippled opponent. High-value creatures like Sire of Insanity, Desecration Demon or planeswalkers like Liliana of the Veil can help keep a weakened opponent locked down and/or help end the game before the opponent can recover. Spend the early turns thinning threats and answers from their hand, then drop a mid-to-late-game bomb and watch them scramble to survive.
