Ok. So I built a RWB variatian on a firemane control deck. Before you say extirpate is going to wreck me, look at the list and see that I have multilpe outs and alternate win conditions. Here's the list:

Lands
1 Urborg, tomb of yawgmoth
2 Urzas Factory
4 Sacred Foundry
4 Godless Shrine
4 Blood Crypt
4 Flagstones of trokair
2 Orzhov Basilica
2 Rakdos Carnarium
1 Boros Garision

Creatures
4 Firemane Angel
2 Bogardan Hellkite
2 Angel of Despair

Spells
4 Lightning Helix
4 Phyrexian Arena
3 Wrath of God
3 Damnation
3 Persecute
1 Boros Signet
1 Orzhov Signet
2 Rakdos Signet
4 Demonfire
3 Phyrexian Totem

Sideboard
4 Hide/Seek
2 Red Akroma
3 Extirpate
3 Sacred Ground
3 Faiths Fetters

The deck has had quite a bit of success from my testing. Any suggestions to make it even better go for it. Please don't flame Smile

Play 4 orzhov signet. it lets you caste hide/seek with a blood moon in play.

play faiths fetters over totems main. You only need 23 land, 4 signet in this deck..

play imp's mischief sideboard, its really good

Id cut 2 demonfire also, you only need 8-9 non-land win conditions.

sacred ground isnt really that great, Id play weathered wayfarer over it, wayfarer is much better in the control matchups

he needs Boros Signet to cast Hide, not the Orzhov Signet to cast Seek (vs Blood Moon), and Boros Signets with Phyrexian Totems can provide together all 3 colors he plays

I built a deck very similar to yours a while back and i found that it had some trouble against other control decks that ran disruption such as counters/discard. This was largely due, i felt, to the fact that the deck runs such relatively high casting cost threats and solutions.

Id suggest adding more signets 4-6 total, boros and orzhov, cut the Rakdos Signets(since you dont run anything that has BR in the cost.)

Also 5 bounce lands sounds like too many, id suggest 3 or 4 (also cutting rakdos since again, no BR)

Id also cut the totem just because of the cost. turn 3 mana excel is nowhere near as good as 2nd, seting up a turn 3 WoG or Persecute its pretty awesome.

also because of Extirpate Iâ€™d cut 2 demonfires for 2 disintegrates, lower firemane down to at most 3 and play either another hellkite or despair.

Id also cut Red Akroma out of SB, shes pretty weak imo. Also 4 sacred grounds, LD is going to be big with boom/bust (at least for a while).
