Yeah, budgets are a big thing. I'd say still replace {Satyr Firedancer} with something, you have minimal burn. There are better cards.

I figure he can be either a turn 3 or 4 play depending on what oter burn I have in my hand. Too little burn you think?

Np :) my friend runs a powerhouse Rakdos deck and it's awesome, so I can ask him for advice! I can actually post the list if you want. Although, it does not have a budget.

I was fortunate enough to pull a mogis and have a friend let me borrow his when i play with this deck, otherwise he wouldnt be here either. I think he's like the 3rd costliest god right now

Here's his list. He has all of it.

2 {mogis, god of Rakdos}
2 {hammer of porcupine}*
1 {Whip of a reebok}*
4 {desecration demon}
2 {erebos, god of dead}
2 {purphoros, god of reds}
4 {legion loyalist}
4 {Rakdos cackler}
4 {spike jester}
4 {deviant glee}
4 {madcap skills}
4 {blood crypt}
9 {swamps}
10 mountains
3 {anger of the gods}*
3 {rakdos's return}

I starred the things I think he could take out, but I'm betting he could top 32 with this at a PTQ easily.

So I kind of overhauled things a bit. Rakdos colors can bestow on the curve really well and i figure with creatures that aren't bad either by themselves or as auras, I'll have way more options every turn.

I was thinking either

Turn 1: Hero or cackler
Turn 2: Jester or everflame or spiteful or madcap
Turn 3: bestow Everflame or summon Flailer or Herald
Turn 4: bestow Spiteful or sac Flailer
Turn 5: bestow Herald

Then pump everflame if he's still alive or give the regular auras out or control via lightning strike

Trade, pump, repeat

I know, on both accounts. He did a little changing today.
