This deck has been doing alright in playtesting, but its losing in the short game. I could use some help fixing it up, if anyone has any ideas. I think RBW has a lot of potential in this format.

Deck List

Lands:
4 Swamps
4 Moutain
4 Sacred Foundry
4 Blood Crypt
4 Godless Shrine
Spells:
4 Char
3 Tutor
2 Culling Sun
3 Condemn
3 Lightning Helix
3 Demon Fire
3 Brain Pry
4 Wrecking Ball
2 Last Gasp
4 Mortify
Creatures:
3 Demon's Jester
3 Hellhole Rats
3 Rakdos Pit Dragon
Sideboard:
3 Shred Memory
3 Shattering Spree
3 Shard Phoenix
3 Sacred Ground
3 Absolver Thrull

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You aren't running a single card outside of Ravnica block in the maindeck, and that is nothing short of ridiculous. There are a thousand better finishers than Pit Dragon, Rats, and Jester (such as Kokusho and Yosei). Culling Sun is in every way inferior to Wrath of God, and Char is questionable in this deck, certainly worse than Helix. Wrecking Ball should probably be Faith's Fetters or a more efficient removal spell. Tutor doesn't seem very good either, because your hand will rarely be empty. I'd suggest replacing it with a card that makes more sense here, like Phyrexian Arena.
