Can't decide whether or not to run 4x Legion Loyalist or 4x Firefist Striker
Feedback much appreciated!!!

Personally, I run the 4x Loyalist and in the Strikers spot, I have Gore-House Chainwalker for the extra damage.
You're asking a question for two cards that fill different roles. The 1R spot is there to combo well with Burning-Tree Emissary . That's why Striker found its way into the RDW Devotion deck.
If you want you can check out mine.

I don't like either, Loyalist and Striker are nice when you're attacking with a swarm of dudes on turn 3... really not so much when you're playing heavy amounts of 3 and 4 drops...

Between the 2 of them, Firefist Striker . Personally, I think Legion Loyalist is a trap. It's a terrible clock for an aggro deck and if you stripped all of its text into a sorcery speed spell for 1 R it starts to become more clear how little impact it has.

@Slycne What do you think if I split the two and went 2 of each?

Eh, like I said I'm not a big fan of Legion Loyalist at all.
Also, considering Shrivel is MBD's new sideboard plan against aggro - and that deck is not going away, I'd be more inclined to go with a 2/2 split of Firefist Striker and Gore-House Chainwalker or just 4 Gore-House Chainwalker .

I really like the idea of Gore-House Chainwalker
Playtested and the synergy with Burning-Tree Emissary is amazing!!! Probably going to mainboard 4x Gore-House Chainwalker
Thanks for the feedback you guys!
