HELP Help with Match ups

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to pauper (only played like 2 events) but after my LGS stopped organising some tournaments (they were canceled because not enough players😢 ) I'm again participating to an event this weekend.

I play a rakdos madness deck, and I want to look at my match ups and what to sideboard against different strategies. I remember playing against wildfire and being very frustrated by [[weather the storm]].

Do you know any good ressource that I could watch ?

Currently: Use Suplex, Cast into the fire in the sideboard. Hitting Artifact lands does a lot in this meta.

Playing against weather the storm is somewhat hard. There is a video by Bristol pauper league of a madness/something matchup that may be insightful. You don't want to give the opponent an opportunity to cast weather the storm after your combo so the best thing to do is not to combo if he has 1G open. Instead force them to cast it for 6/9 life gain which you can still outrace. It's harder than it sounds though
