This is my take on a reasonably affordable Rakdos Aggro deck. The idea is fairly typical aggro-to get creatures out there quickly and burn everything in the way. I've tinkered with the deck a bit based on my current meta, but the idea is still generally the same-hit them quick with Rakdos Cackler, Spike Jester, and Minotaur Skullcleaver. I have a ton of burn and removal for all the aggro I've been playing. And Act of Treason is a fun card that isn't played a ton that I'm hoping will interact well with Devour Flesh/Altar's Reap. This is the first time I've played standard in a few years, so any feedback would be appreciated!!

Didn't get to do FNM this week, but made quite a few changes based on my meta. There are a LOT of aggro decks and not too much control where I'm playing, however everyone plays a lot of burn and/or removal. I took out madcap skills because it's incredibly frustrating when I put the madcap skills on a creature and they remove it with a magma jet or something, getting rid of 2 cards for 1. I also took out the tormented heros because entering tapped was frustrating several times, and they just never worked how I wanted them to with only 1 toughness. I added in an extra Chandra's Phoenix and Minotaur Skullcleaver, giving me a play set of each. Also added one extra shock. I have LOVED how act of treason has worked out for me, so I'm running 4 now and also added Devour Flesh and Altar's reap. I just love the idea of taking their creatures with act of treason, bashing their face with them, then sacrificing them for my own benefit. Not sure if this will run any better than the previous version, but it will be something a bit different. Altered the sideboard a bit as well adding Electrickery which is super nice against a lot of the decks I'm running up against.
