I have been play testing these two decks on MTGA. Both seem equally successful - and 65% win rates in standard. The Rakdos version took me from Gold to Platinum quickly but advancement stalled when I started hitting nothing but yorion decks
Rakdos Menace Tribal: https://deckstats.net/decks/147999/1647040-rakdos-menace-tribal
and
Mardu Menace Tribal: https://deckstats.net/decks/147999/1648203-mardu-menace-tribal/en
These decks play out very quickly. If you are on curve, you are unblockable from the get go and get a one-sided board wipe at turn 4. With the Mardu version you can surprise the opponent and just win with Chance For Glory (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Chance+for+Glory).
Anyone have some input on the following?
1. what changes can I make to be more competitive vs. meta decks?
2. what would you put in the sideboard to be successful in Bo3?

I play Bant Yorion Control, and I'm not really sure you can stay with the menace theme and still win. I gain life with Uro, card advantage with basically everything from Omens to Cavalier of Thorns (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Cavalier+of+Thorns) to Teferi, and I control the board with Agent of Treachery (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Agent+of+Treachery), Teferi, Shatter the Sky (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Shatter+the+Sky), and Elspeth Conquers Death (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elspeth+Conquers+Death).
Yorion control is just really, really powerful. The only times I lose are when I get out-controlled or when an aggro deck gets a perfect hand. So, I'd suggest trying to make this more threatening more quickly. Maybe if you could work this into an Obosh deck for more explosive games?

That's a fair point. Yorion is hard (at best) unless you come out swinging. Giving up the labyrinth raptor (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Labyrinth+Raptor) and stormfist crusader (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Stormfist+Crusader) to use Obosh the companion is a no go, so I will have to look at Obosh as a non-companion card.
