This is a strange B/R deck that I am building. The goal is to hatch large Rukhs from its egg.

NOT LAND (37)
4 Death Pit Offering
4 Rukh Egg
3 Nether Spirit
4 Terminate
4 Ritual of the Machine
3 Krivokan Horror
3 Corpse Dance
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Incinerate
4 Lifeline

LANDS (25)
4 Badlands
8 Mountain
13 Swamp

What do you think? How could I improve this deck?

How about sticking some red enchantments on the Egg like Giant Strength or the +3/-1 one or whatever so maybe you could get some hits in if they choose not to block?

Wouldn't "Recurring Nightmare" be really good here. Maybe in place of "Lifeline".

4 Death Pit Offering
4 Rukh Egg - Extremely jealous of you for possessing 4 of these guys while I own zero. I'm going to sit in the corner of the room to cry now.
3 Nether Spirit - Replace these boys with Sengir Autocrat. I have a feeling you're going to have a tough time using their 'come back into play' ability perfectly every upkeep. Plus the autocrat really maximizes on the 'sac creature affects in the deck' and the Death Pits
4 Terminate
4 Ritual of the Machine
3 Krivokan Horror
3 Corpse Dance
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Incinerate
4 Lifeline - I don't know about this card in here. I see the rukh egg trick, but I think this would be better off as Goblin bombardment. GB would work well with the Spirits (or Autocrat), Death Pits, Corpse Dance (broken actually), and of corse the Rukh Eggs.

Other cards I would consider:
Gravepact would work wonders in here
Artifact mana (especially Sol Ring), you've got a good amount of colorless spells to cast.
Pyre Zombie, Come back to hand ability is nice
If you do keep the lifeline play Eradicate too.

Right on, this is one of the coolest decks I've seen in awhile, and I would be inspired to build a similar one, except I don't have the eggs. But if you ever decide to trade those Eggs away, you know where to turn :D.

What about Karplusan Yeti and Blazing Effigy?

They lower the deck's efficiency a thousandfold, but might help some, too...
