Rakdos Madness Burn is similar to the mono-red mirror but adds Alms of the Vein for three life drain and Kitchen Imp as a madness-enabler that also provides a flying threat — their graveyard-fueled life swing can be the difference in a close race. Relic of Progenitus disrupts Alms of the Vein's life drain and any graveyard recursion while replacing itself with a draw, and it prevents them from getting full value out of Grab the Prize recursion loops in attrition situations. Fireblast is cut because the two-land sacrifice is too costly in a race where every mana matters, and their black splash means they can stabilize life totals faster than pure mono-red mirrors. Keep racing aggressively — Guttersnipe is the card that most rapidly outpaces their damage output, so prioritize protecting it or resolving it before they can present Kitchen Imp as an aerial clock.
