Whoops, I forgot to answer your question. Bituminous Blast and Blightning are not included here because I do not suspect that they would be impactful enough in comparison to a lot of the other spells presently in the 99.

Word, No worries! I have a soft spot in my heart for Ball Lightning and Lightning Skelemental I have a pretty similar deck built. Always good to see another build! I kinda like seeing Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger in there. I have Fling or Thud in the deck too get an extra shot out of the balls. Also, Flamekin Harbinger to search for the balls, and Blightning / Kolaghan's Command for disruption, and Dreadbore to help with removal. Cheers!

Welcome Back to Magic. I broke my description down to the three deck types yer seeking.
Aristocrats: Take advantage of death triggers to hurt your opponent. Examples of cards are Blood Artist, Dreadhorde Butcher and Zulaport Cutthroat. Graveyard recursion cards like Disentomb, Gravedigger, Mortuary Mire and Valgavoth's Faithful should be considered.
Burn: Spells, instants and sorceries, and abilities of permanents that deal noncombat damage. Examples include, but are not limited to, Blightning, Bonfire of the Damned and Lightning Bolt. Cards you should add to any Rakdos burn deck include, but are not limited to, Pestilent Spirit, Soul-Scar Mage and Toralf, God of Fury Flip.
Punisher: A Sophie's Choice in every spell. Examples include, but are not limited to, Book Burning, Dash Hopes, Killing Wave, Painful Quandary and Vexing Devil. I would also consider any creature with the Afflict ability, especially Wildfire Eternal to be punisher cards.
As for cards that will feed into your commander's static ability, I would recommend Burning Anger, Psychosis Crawler, Scrawling Crawler and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse.
Thank you for reading me out. I hope this helps give you a baseline of what you're looking for. Happy Hunting!

Thank you zapyourtumor for all your advices
Please can you explain, why Sudden Spoiling and Hero's Downfall are not playable in Modern? I thought they are good cards... In my oppinion Sudden Spoiling is such a powerfull card, and its an Instant, so I can use it for both attack and defense
Once I had 4x Blightning in my deck, but I needed the place for other cards... Its a cool card, but yeah, you're right... with just 1 card like that unfortunately it doesnt fit well anymore in my deck. I will cut it
Yes i know, most deathtouch decks are BG, but I wanted to try something else when I started building the deck... ^^
Thanks again for all the tips, I'm deffinitiv gonna try some of your cards... Lets see
TheoryCrafter on Which Card Should Replace Pain …

I'm a sucker for Alternate win cards so my vote is with Mayael's Aria. However, I'd recommend replacing Pain Magnification with Blightning. It has the same mana cost and your opponent gets lifeloss and to discard.
wallisface on How Good is Pain Magnification?

3 mana is super slow for a discard effect, and what’s worse is that the opponent gets to choose what they’re discarding.
To make this even slower & clumsier, it does absolutely nothing when it’s played, and forces you to put in serious work to get any kind of payoff… you need to deal at least 2-lots of 3 damage just to still be significantly worse than Blightning (which, is still a pretty terrible card)

death by 1000 papercuts

Does Crypt Rats not die to the initial 1 damage trigger? And yeah i actually had a full playset of Blightning in the original paper list but over time it just felt like it got edged out by other options, mainly i felt like the damage it provides wasnt very relevant as we arent typically pressuring the opponents life total. Also lol honestly idk why Evolving Wilds is still in the list ig im lazy w landbases XD but yeah it might be good as one of the capenna search lands for a little extra hp buffer vs aggro or burn

death by 1000 papercuts

What is fun with Eternal Thirst is when you spend the mana one at a time. "Death by 1000 paper cuts" And the Crypt Rats grows bigger and bigger :D Now that i wiped the board, I will attack you with my 8/8...lifelink.
If you want more flexibility in mana, I suggest replacing the Evolving Wilds with Bloodfell Caves
Finally, have you considered Blightning? It's just a good card in general.
