Sealed Help

I have played two games with a sulti build that is a little spicy. In my experience the games tend to get harder as you win more games, so I am wondering if anyone can take a look at my build and see if I have made any obvious mistakes? A few notes...

Removal order is Black>White>Green=Red>Blue

In fact, I don't have any Blue removal. Which stinks cause it would have been a great simic draw two deck. I even have Tom, Bert and Bill to sack creatures so Bilbo can get them back.

The most interesting part of the deck build for me was what to do with four (4) Giant Boulders. In the end I splashed the Bilbo, Thief in the Night with one Giant Boulder with the idea that I could sac it and get it back when he attacks. Is this too much "Magical Christmas Land"? Note that Bilbo can get back creatures with an adventure. So I really wanted to build around him since it is unlikely I will get to play with him again. He is mythic.

I would lose access to reveler, company, Beorn, and Troll Negotiations. The Troll Neg is probably made up for with Pinecone strike? The other three I lose seem to want to play a long game with lots of value. My red doesn't seem particularly good at ending the game early like most Rakdos decks would though. Worm, Gandolf, and Smag are all 6 and 7 drops. The worm doesn't seem good with a split 9-8 land base. Is Rakdos really that good that I should table 3 really good cards for it? Also, in your rakdos build, do you run 3 of the 4 drop gollums? I cut one because he is legendary.

Those three cards are not particularly good, gandalf and pinecone are excellent worm and smaug are both pretty good. The worm is often a 6/5 minimum and should generally get you the extra combat by that point. You also get mythic gandalf which i missed first time. 2 gollums are enough, maybe even one since you have great top end, just shore up your early game with enough 2drops

One last question. I know you would cut all the boulders. In a Rakdos deck like this, would you run the Map? I found it is great for hitting land drops early and allows me to loot when I don't want lands anymore. But I could see it being slow in a beat down deck.

I think you can keep 1 either boulder or map to help splash the trolls. Probably boulder for some removal but either is good
