Redeeming Standard Rakdos Aggro

Being a fan of Black-Red based Creature aggro decks, I was happy for the return of the Rakdos guild in Ravnica Allegiance. I looked and built the archetype after the set came out but unfortunately it under performed and eventually ran out of flavor in the metagame.

Months later as I was browsing through the Standard decklists, I have found this decklist that at the initial glance is looking to be the latest aggro build of the archetype. It finished in 4th place in the recent MTGO Standard League last August 8th. Check it out below.
