Guild gates are too slow for aggro.

- 4 guild gates, -1 mountain, +5 swamps, -3 nighthawks, +3{rakdos cackler} or {rakdos shred freak}. Would speed the deck up a lot.

Gates are fine, especially if youre playing more one drops. The starcity games tourney happened and the top rakdos aggro deck had 4 gates. It doesn't 'slow you down' it just stops the curve of 1 drop > 2 drop > 3 drop, which decks like this don't follow too often anyways

Brimstone volleys are good for something like this, I would prefer them over dreadbores, moving the dreadbores to sideboard

{dreadbore} and {abrupt decay} are the two best removal spells in standard..
