Ravnica is a weird place, long ago I complained about the art for Tetsuko not fitting in with Dominaria, that is because Ravnica is much more of a "Magic Punk" place than Dominaria is, so art like hers and this guy fit..the Simic 100% sell "GROW YOUR OWN DEMON HORNS!" potions on the street.
Beyond the obvious goofy pairing with Bitterblossom, this seems like the ideal card for Spectacle activation. This card into turn three Spawn of Mayhem whether your opponent has a blocker or not.
Damn, this guy could see Standard play, I really hope Rakdos aggro becomes a thing, between this and a Spectacled-in Hacktivist the 2-drop slot has quality, too bad the Blightning effect costs 4 mana this time.
Actually I really wish this guy sacrificed at the beginning of combat, but you can’t have everything I suppose.
I understand why you would say that at first glance, but this way it actually has better synergy with the Rakdos mechanic.
This way you can cast cards precombat for their 'spectacle cost', while currently the only natural time to cast these cards is precombat.
Since we know their are removal spells, and maybe even haste creatrues f.e. that have spectacle, this card enables them at times you would rather want to cast them

The Internet was a revelation to me, I never imagined there are so many idiots on this planet.
There's your Spectacle enabler for the guild. Its templating reminds me of the days of early Magic with effects like this that could only happen during the upkeep. I like the subtle throwback to the older days.

Sac a creature and shock isn't bad, I suppose - though it's only once a turn. Shame.
Rakdos humans like to wear really spiky hats.
I am not going to ask to find out. I'll just enjoy the show.
Abzan Aggro would not be a terrible option... lots of tiny boros creatures to get in and hit quick, and stockpile + this is a free shock every turn.
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
