With rotation on its way, I need to find some replacements for lightning strike, stoke the flames, searing blood and foundry street denizen. As of right now, foundry looks to be replaced by possibly goblin glory chaser. But I think I may need a whole new strategy when these cards leave. Any ideas would be great!

Hey check out my deck The Return 2.1

Pro tip: don't worry about it until the full BfZ spoiler is out.

LikeThatJunkMagesaid think about that once BfZ is out. Now if you want to think about your mana base now go for it because most of the lands for BfZ is now known. PRO Tip: Khan's Fatchlands are more important then ever once BfZ drops.

What ThatJunkMage said. Rotation is over a month away, enjoy your deck as it is now for that time period.

I'm actually kind of worried about this myself. of course we can expect some burn cards from any set but we are about to lose a lot of killer red deck wins cards like seering blood, stokes, anger, lightning, and rabblemaster. Not to hijack this thread, but to add on to his question, is it worth the money to build an RDW deck with so much good stuff about to rotate out?

RDW is typically the strongest archetype immediately following rotation. I wouldn't recommend investing in the ~$5+ cards that are rotating (Goblin Rabblemaster, Stoke the Flames, etc) but cheap cards like Searing Blood and Lightning Strike are definitely worth it if you don't have an existing standard deck.
