Affinity Deck I'm putting together. It's simply a variant on the other affinity burn decks people play at GPs. I'd like to incorporate some burn, with the idea of being able to blast creatures out of the way, and if necessary, finish the opponent.

I'm not certain if Bonfire of the Damned speeds up or slows down the deck right now, but I'm testing with it, to see if it works. Not only as a miracle, (living the dream,) but also as a 3 mana single sided board sweeper, to deal 1 dmg to Dark Confidant and things like that.

Should I remove Frogmite ? None of the other lists use it, but it seems good for explosive starts....

I'm thinking Rakdos Charm in the side, to deal with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combos, as well as to shrink opposing Tarmogoyfs. Yes, it can have some use in the mirror, but Ancient Grudge is better for that.

Slayers' Stronghold in the main might be a good way to deal some extra dmg with the haste, but what land would I take out?

Rally the Peasants would be a combat trick, and reusable for matchups where I don't use Rest in Peace, but would it work?

Dispatch would be instant speed removal and I'll always have metalcraft (in theory, if I don't I'm losing anyway,) and would be nice to take out indstructable creatures, undying, persist as well as those too big. But it can't do dmg to the opponent...

Steelshaper's Gift to get Cranial Plating seems good, but what to remove?

Suggestions

Updates Add

Removed Bonfire of the Damned and Frogmite, both, too slow. I added the last Blinkmoth Nexus and removed 2x Glimmervoid for 2x Mountain.

Moved 2x Etched Champion to the main, for 26 Creatures, and decided on a 4x Galvanic Blast and 2x Shrapnel Blast split.

Decided on the sideboard as well. And putting in a single Rakdos Charm if I run into Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.
