So, I'm trying to set up a Rakdos bard as a "Master of Ceremonies" and I can't quite decide what my starting spells at level 3 are. He's more of the face, the threat, and the distraction, while the party acts more as the actual combatants, so he has to be able to at least support them in combat. I'm torn between the following starting list:
Dissonant Whispers, Heroism, Identify, Crown of Madness, Enthrall, and Invisibility
Dissonant Whispers, Identify, Silent Image, Thunderwave, Suggestion, Pyrotechnics (because showman for this one)
and Whispers, Identify, Heroism, Suggestion, Invisibility, and Enthrall.
What do you guys think would be the most... useful, or would you suggest another set of spells to start?

Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"

Heroism doesn't seem to fit Rakdos. Enthrall is pretty situational in how it's useful but can be thematic. Crown of Madness is one of those spells that's better than it looks but takes experience and the right party mix to use effectively.
Your second list seems to fit best but I'd replace thunder wave with unseen servant.
