Bump in the Night
Sorcery
Target opponent loses 3 life.
Flashback (You may cast this from your graveyard for this card's flashback cost. Then exile this.)

No Bump in the Night? I can only presume it’s because of the pip in the Flashback cost.

Even though you probably have one of the best shells for it, Bond of Agony looks pretty bad.
Red burn decks usually don't play Fireball or any of its superior versions, even though they are way better than Bond of Agony
You have 18 lands, meaning you scale very slowly into a range where Bond can deal any more damage than your other spells, and once you get there, 5 mana + pay 4 life to cause a 4 point life loss? That seems just awful. And it's especially bad since you have Syphon Life which means you'll just be discarding additional lands when you hit your curve stopper unless you're sitting with Bond of Agony in hand.
If you want some late-game potential, I would look into adding a single B/R source to flashback Bump in the Night because the opportunity cost of doing to is so low. Alternatively, consider Sword-Point Diplomacy as a card that can pull you ahead in stale-mate against another deck that didn't quite manage to do its thing.

I haven't played Modern in years, but this card seems like such a blowout to me. You can have the sac creature be a pinger which can help with prowess or use it on an enemy's end step given it has instant speed.
White and Black aren't the worse colors to splash in as you'd have access to Lightning Helix and Bump in the Night, but tuning the manabase for a spell like this might be problematic. Thoughts?

Damage and loss of life are not the same thing despite damage to a player usually causing life loss. Paying life and losing life to something like Bump in the Night do not make tokens from Darien, King of Kjeldor despite your life going down. Damage from a source with infect or damage dealt while Platinum Emperion is out does make tokens from Darien, King of Kjeldor despite your life total not changing.

Removed Village Rites for now. If you keep a hand with 2 mana, playing Deadly Dispute shouldn't be an issue - and you can Dark Ritual into other things like Faerie Macabre with the treasure. The treasures will also help flashback Bump in the Night.

@Balaam__: thanks. I also found that the treasure tokens from Deadly Dispute can allow Bump in the Night to be flashbacked.
