dude I love vexing devil!! So glad to see him being used for destruction yet again!!! And Bedlam Reveler?! Another sick devil boy. Always wanted to build something with him. Very cool deck my guy. Suuuuuper aggressive

I really like those cards. I played bedlam reveler in the old mardu midrange version, when faithless looting was still legal in modern. Vexing devil was part of a rakdos burn deck of mine once. I tend to cling to cards I like, even if they are out of meta :D

Funnily you posted right before I started playing the deck for the first time. I made some changes since then ;)

Strike it Rich doesn't seem to fit in here. The only synergy I see is that you can flash it back after it gets discarded to Reveler or Pyromancer, and that you can store a mana to make up for the low land count, but I don't think that's enough to justify the spot. It's a terrible top deck and doesn't advance the purpose of the deck.

Also worth mentioning, you've got 5 copies of Roiling Vortex in the build.

On top of the above mentioned uses, I gamble for a turn 2 blood moon with strike it rich. It also makes the white sideboard cards easier to cast. You are right, it does not follow the burn-route, like the other instants/sorcerys, and is a bad top deck. I have the hope, that the occasional turn 2 blood moon makes up for the disadvantages. I did not yet had the chance to get a feeling if the gamble is worth it. Blood moon turn 2 can be tremendously strong, and outright win some games (happened in my first playtest), but the bad topdeck may be the reason you lose another game...
But so does top decking a blood moon or roiling vortex. Time will tell if the risk is worth the gamble.

Thanks for mentioning the 5 copys :D
After the first playtest I would like to test 4 blood moon main (for the above mentioned reasons), and added fury to possibly swap 4 copies of blood moon with 4 copies of fury post sideboard.
