Deck Description

Got bored... So why not stir up some chaos?
Based off of what I heard of from friends about a really fast rakdos deck. I can't find the original, and I don't know who made it.
Added my own flare, and filled in the blanks of what I didn't know that was in the deck.

How to Play

It's fast, reliably killing turn four and possibly turn three (it has happened in-game before).
For reference:
BC = Blood Crypt
MSS = Monastery Swiftspear
RC = Rakdos Cackler
MS = Madcap Skills
DA = Demonic Appetite
AD = Armed // Dangerous (only using the Armed half of course)
MN = Memnite

Standard Victory: (assume a land is played each turn)
Turn 1 - BC + MSS/RC
Turn 2 - Give two 1-mana enchantments (except DA) to said MSS/RC and swing for either 6 (RC) or 7 (MSS) damage.
Turn 3 - Target MSS/RC with an AD or MS and another 1-mana enchantment (DA is okay now) and swing for either 11 or 12 damage (MS) then kill next turn OR 18 or 19 damage (AD)...

Alternative Victory: (assume a land is played each turn)
Turn 1 - BC + MN + 1-mana enchantment (except DA) on said MN
Turn 2 - Give two 1-mana enchantments to MN and swing for 7 damage
Turn 3 - 1-mana enchantment (DA is okay now) and an AD or MS and swing for 12 or 13 (MS) OR 18 or 20 (AD)

So you can achieve victory in a few ways, and the deck does run out of steam at turn 5 (at this point you lost), but your draw is not relied upon completely.
