TM06. Rakdos Burn with the new cards, the deck is play testing insanely well, plan on converting my Mono Red deck Fast AF to this. Right now I am just trying to lay it all out on a board and everything is up for discussion. Ravnica Allegiance has brought SOOOO many good cards to Rakdos Burn and I am torn in many directions on what to play.

To elaborate on my decision to run Pestilent Spirit. I have looked into most other Rakdos Burn lists and most run a creature setup the same as mine but with 4x Fanatical Firebrand totaling at 16 creatures compared to my 14. I am not a fan of Firebrand, so if I was to replace him it would 100% be with 4x Gutterbones, but seeing that I recently teched in 2x Bedevil and most of my locals run Golgari and Izzet Drakes, I find the 2x Pestilent Spirit very helpful with giving my list 4 active instant hard removal options.

ALSO Pestilent Spirit paired with Detection Tower makes for a very scary board state against a lot of the current meta.
