Rubblebelt Maaka in RDW?
Standard forum

In a speed-damage style of RDW- Not devotion style with Fanatic of Mogis and Boros Reckoner - Why would Rubblebelt Maaka not be a good include? It seems amazing. Can't be hit by counterspells since it's an activated ability, can add an extra 3 damage to an unblocked hit to the face, it only costs R. Other than taking up deck space, of course, I don't see much wrong with this card. Why aren't more people using it?

Awesome. I compeltely agree, I just find it strange that I don't see it in any winning decklists. It seems amazing, but I was thinking there was maybe a drawback I didn't see.

Why not Pyrewild Shaman ? He is 1 more mana more but you can continually recycle him which is nice

In my opinion, the extra cost on the bloodrush makes it easier to be signaled that that's what you're doing -- and if you're playing RDW you are, in all likelihood, killing your opponent before you will get to recycle him more than once.

I agree with TheHorse. The cost would be too high to cycle it the same turn, and by the time I could cycle and use him again, I would've won.

I'm pretty sure a recent list run by Patrick Sullivan runs 2 in the main and one in the side.
It definitely seems very good.
