Having a very low budget and no Rakdos dual lands, consider mono red instead of Rakdos? Just red, 20x Mountains, can be more aggressive because you will not have problems casting spells since all cards will be red.

Build around 4x Electrostatic Infantry? It's your best red creature with trample who grows as you cast creature removal spells and pump spells. 4x Lightning Strike is your best creature removal spell since it can also go at opponent life. 4x Reckless Impulse is good draw with Infantry, gives you more chances to cast instants or sorceries.

One drops with haste help a lot to be aggressive. 4x Reinforced Ronin and 4x Rabbit Battery give you more chances to cast one of these turn one. Battery then can be a source of pump + haste for other creatures for one mana. Ronin in your hand can be draw if it's no longer useful as an attacker.

Lightning Strike and Flame-Blessed Bolt or Play with Fire work well with Furious Bellow to kill a much bigger creature since at first strike combat damage step opponent's blocking creature takes damage then do 2 or 3 more damage to the creature, most likely killing the creature while in combat. These are instant spells, you can attack with your creature, if opponent blocks it then cast Bellow and at first strike damage step cast Strike or Bolt or Fire at the blocking creature.

Radha's Firebrand can help to do damage from attacking by making an opponent creature unable to block. Firebrand is good with Rabbit Battery since it doesn't have haste. You don't have Firebrand in your current deck, but if you can get them they can help to be aggressive.

Reinforced Ronin is good for helping with metalcraft too, good rec! I might keep Zurgo Bellstriker in too for a density of 1 drops.

Containment Construct also good for metalcraft and it's a 2/2 with card advantage so yeah another perfect rec for this deck.

Valakut Awakening  Flip I took out a while ago because too often it just is 3 mana draw a card. so its a low impact spell or a tapped land. It's better for combo or control decks.

Efreet Flamepainter Maybe one day if there gets to be more instants and sorceries but now I don't think theres enough spell density at 9.

Deflecting Swat is good when I activate Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner's ability discarding my hand then somebody casts removal before my 2 power guys can deal damage.

Smuggler's Copter has been in there because if all opponents have blockers it's a way to fly over for damage and card advantage. I Think you are right tho and it's low impact compared to some other recs.

Possibility Storm the angle is that it will prevent just about any combo from being cast. Additionaly I can be pretty sure that when I cast a 2 power creature I will get a 2 power creature while my opponents playing combo and control sit with most of their hand dead. My assault combo can actually be assembled piece by piece during a Possibility Storm whereas most combos involving instants and sorceries such as the dreaded Tainted Pact, Demonic Consultation, Natural Order or Brain Freeze cannot play around the chaos.

Dolmen Gate is useful when opponents have too many blockers. In my current meta however the "creature power 2 or less can't be blocked" ability on Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner is enough to make sure key creatures can attack while not dying to blockers.

Harmonic Prodigy and Savage Beating... good points. plus Harmonic Prodigy adds triggers to Immolation Shaman, Prophetic Flamespeaker and Seasoned Pyromancer...

Reinforced Ronin is a clear upgrade to Zurgo Bellstriker.

Containment Construct = Conspiracy Theorist #2 if necessary.

Dwarven Mine and Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance create bodies efficiently.

I know you aren't a fan of etb lands but... would Valakut Awakening  Flip be worth a spot? Instant speed card filter/draw is nifty.

Deflecting Swat needs to be in the main. Your deck relies on your commander and this effect protects the fragile synergy. Unless you know something I don't Smuggler's Copter does not belong in this list. It cost an attacker and it does not utilize Subria's ability.

Efreet Flamepainter I'm not sure if you are running enough to justify this but the few that you are would be brutal if they were doubled. This deck can guarantee combat damage.

Possibility Storm what's your angle with this card in this strategy? Are you able to weather the chaotic storm better than other strategies?

Would Dolmen Gate be overkill or useful to the strategy?

Not suggesting this but more an observation... Harmonic Prodigy grants double triggers. If it interacted with more than just the commander it might be worth a spot but as of now it's just a fun fact. Perhaps Savage Beating for double triggers and a potential game ender?

No, Reinforced Ronin's effect only applies as long as it's on the battlefield. If it were a graveyard effect, it would use that word, like Sanitarium Skeleton.

Those are all pretty interesting suggestions. I was very seriously looking at Reinforced Ronin as a probably better Rabbit Battery but in the end my love of bunnies kinda wins out, and also just being able to later in the game buff a first striker. I might just give them a try on here and see how it does. But at the same time, I do want to keep it as a not full aggro deck, more of a slow and steady create-a-board, and pump and first strike synergy is fairly effective creature protection.

I'd bet your deck is far more effective : ) I just really enjoy having a big Beloved Princess who, once she's over 3/? with first strike, she becomes a "gain 3 life and kill a chump" every turn.

Heh, I'm going to try it both ways and see how it does. Thanks again! I didn't really realize the synergy of Reinforced Ronin and Heiko Yamazaki, the General but that's really good. So extremely versitile : )

I recently build my own very casual samurai tribal, and Exaltation is just insane there. It's basically the "attack alone" version of Beastmaster Ascension.

Btw, the value engine I'm running in addition to what Norika can do with enchantments is Heiko Yamazaki, the General with Reinforced Ronin.

Also, Ironsoul Enforcer is pretty awesome as well.

I know it isn’t a goblin, but Reinforced Ronin is a potentially good add here to play off of Impact Tremors. Great deck!
