Deck Description

Early Drops aggro centric deck.

Key is to get Rakdos, Lord of Riots out early with the help of burn spells and low cost burn effects.

Vexing Devil : Pay 4 or simply delay a one-drop 4/3 which can accelerate into a strong early game field control.
Rakdos, Lord of Riots : Self-explanatory, this 6/6 flyer trampler is simply the beatstick of the deck.
Cryptborn Horror : Can essentially become an end-game weapon with the amount of burns and output this deck can dish out within turn 3.

Deck discussion for Speed Burn

Looks like something I wouldn't want to play against. Your biggest weaknesses look like Terminus, Fog, and Selesnya Charm, but you should be able to roll plenty of decks with a decent draw.

I liked the addition of a few mind rots...I don't know why you took them out...maybe they were better as Appetite for Brains?

I wanted to run plays quicker, and Mind Rot really slows the game down when I could better spend those slots on say, mana.

I was thinking of putting a Chandra, The Firebrand to make things even easier to get Rakdos out, not sure if i should though.

Is terminus even a meta card these days? I haven't been seeing those but it sure is a scary sight if I would have to deal with it.

Thanks,
I'm still working on improving it's speed cause it tends to lose to Blue/White Control decks that can get up their walls fast. And since I'm probably not going to block anything to keep the pressure on, winning on turn 5 isn't gonna cut it yet. Will keep updating with better strategies.
