Rakdos's Revival Show

Rakdos decks have fallen out of the modern meta game, that ends now!

This is similar to many other burn decks, however it runs black instead of mono red or green for versatility and a little more control.

Mechanics

Using cards like Spike Jester, Spark Elemental, and deck:Monestary Swiftspear this deck can have explosive early game potential. A turn 1 Spark Elemental is better than using a Lightning Bolt. However this is not just an early game deck. Because of how I chose to budget it with Master of the Feast and Lightning Mauler turn 3 can be swinging in for 8 or more. While Master of the Feast aides your opponent by giving them card draw it usually has a major impact on the flow of the game and is a huge removal magnet.

Upgrades

Currently I am working on improving this. Many of the misc. 1 or 2 ofs I am working on gathering or trading for. I am more than welcome for your advice and usually have a few questions if you have time.
