Hey all,

I am brewing an aggro deck for Standard and want to use a lot of the new cards from BNG. It is Rakdos aggro. I have Rakdos Cackler as the one drop, potentially looking at Firedrinker Satyr as another one drop. Have a bunch of two drops, including Pain Seer and Spiteful Returned . Three drop is Herald of Torment . Four drops are Purphoros and Mogis, I feel they fit well in an aggro deck. The rest is burn and removal, sideboard is burn/removal for tuning deck to optimize against opponent. I am just looking for feedback on my card choices, as well as seeing if you all agree on my land count. I started off with a high count and have slowly whittled away a land here and there and goldfished to see if it improved my flood+screw ratio. I think it is coming together well but would like some more feedback before I run it this week at FNM. I know some people don't like Pain Seer but I view him as a bear that may give me upside if he survives but otherwise is a 2/2 for 2. Plus I can bestow Spiteful Returned and/or Herald of Torment on him to get some more kick. Additionally I can swing in with him and then use Searing Blood to finish off a blocking creature and still get damage in to the opponent. Overall the idea behind the deck is to be aggressive but also whittle down the opponent with "reach" effects (Spiteful Returned, Mogis, Purphoros, Searing Blood). Appreciate any help. :)
