Modern Rakdos. It's very fast and relentless, just how a Rakdos deck should be. Here's the layout:

Every spell is designed to deal damage, or stop the opponent from stopping me from dealing damage

Creatures:

• Dreadhorde Butcher is an outstanding aggro card with burn damage when it dies
• Spike Jester functions well as a cheap attacker
• Monastery Swiftspear is fast, agressive and benefits from the non-creature spells present here
• Vexing Devil is a well-known card. 1 mana for 4 damage or a chunky body
• Lightning Skelemental bursts violently through defenses for great results
• Ashenmoor Liege bolsters my creatures, especially the multicolored ones, while punishing removal

Other spells:

• Lightning Bolt. Damage, simple and pure
• Fatal Push. Great, cheap removal. Not much else to say
• Thoughtseize. Staple card in Modern. Disrupts enemy hands
• Blightning. Pretty fair cost for damage and discard
• Liliana's Caress. Makes Discarding effects more painful

Sideboard:

• Crypt Incursion against Reanimators and Dredge
• Dragon's Claw is deployed against Burn decks
• Dreadbore is used mainly to kill planeswalkers
• Nihil Spellbomb brings graveyard hate if needed and can refund itself
• Shattering Spree takes care of opposing artifacts
• Surgical Extraction removes threatning cards and combos permanently

In the Maybeboard there are many cards that can also be used here

As shown, this deck deals a lot of damage fast while also gaining card advantage because of Discard. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to tell me so the deck can be even deadlier

+1 if you like it!
