Rakdos sacrifice deck for a pauper battlebox

How to play the deck

Pretty straight-forward, use sac-engines mainly on Perilous Myr and Goblin Arsonist to clear opponent's board or play it as a burn deck depending on opponent, or use Act of Treason on an opponent's creature then sacrifice it.

Hissing Iguanar helps dealing some extra damage, while Fling can be a finisher using it on Bloodthrone Vampire like they usually do with Atog

Card choices:

Sacrifice Engines

• Bloodthrone Vampire: our main fling target. Sacrifice everything and smash her in our opponent's face to close the match.
• Carrion Feeder: another sac-engine. Doesn't get as big as you may think, but costs only 1 mana.
• Viscera Seer: useful for filtering draws.
• Fling: our best finisher if we have Bloodthrone Vampire, but we can use it on everything to close the game when we are sure that our opponent has no answers.
• Costly Plunder: sacrificing a creature isn't a downside for us, so 2 cards for 2 mana is a great card advantage. We don't have many artifacts, but it becomes more versatile if paired with something like Dire Fleet Hoarder

Alternatives:

• Nantuko Husk, Phyrexian Ghoul, Vampire Aristocrat: they are all functional reprints so you can choose your favourite one. The all do the same thing as Bloodthrone Vampire, but have a bigger body for 1 more mana. Could be useful depending on your meta, because they can get out of Lightning bolt range sacrificing only 1 creature. As I said this deck is only for a battlebox, so I preferred making it faster.
• Blood Bairn: can't sacrifice herself, so she's somewhat worse.
• Goblin Grenade: interesting alternative to fling, depending on how many goblins you run.
• Collateral Damage: more versatile version of Goblin Grenade and also instant, but at this point it would be probably better to simply use a Lightning Bolt.
• Altar's Reap: now outdated by Costly Plunder which is strictly better.

Cannon Fodder

• Goblin Arsonist, Perilous Myr, Mudbutton Torchrunner: they all do the same thing, getting sacrificed to deal damage to opponent or remove creatures and they're also great chump blockers. Perfectly scaled to fit in our mana curve.
• Mogg War Marshal: basically just gives us 3 creatures to sacrifice.
• Keldon Marauders: deals 2 damage, attacks for 3 and we can sacrifice him before he vanish. Not the best option, but can do a lot of damage if we are controlling the board.

Other Cards

• Hissing Iguanar: a bit slow, but can take away a lot of life from our opponent, in particular if we have more than one on the battlefield.
• Act of Treason: it's great when we have a sac-engine ready. Get the best creature from our opponent, attack and sacrifice it.
• Terminate: sometimes you just need to kill creatures at instant speed and this is one of the best removals in the format.
• Blightning: just some extra damage that also slows down our opponent.

Alternatives:

• Hijack, Traitorous Blood: these would be strictly better than Act of Treason in a mono-red, but the double scares me. It could be a problem if we wanted to cast a Fling in the same turn, for example
• Touch of Moonglove: could be an interesting removal, imagine to cast this on a chump blocking Perilous Myr. Kill the attacking creature and deal 4 damage to opponent.
• Falkenrath Noble: arguably a better Hissing Iguanar for many reasons (gains life, life loss can't be prevented, evasive, counts when dies itself), but costs 1 more. Like I said for Vampire Aristocrat & co. in this particular case I preferred going faster.
