This is the deck i created for my team mate who is an aggro master. I dont know how he does it, but as long as i build it he can play it and win.   

One more card is required for your main deck. I would recommend a  {Thundermaw Hellkite} maybe.

- 2 {Rakdos Guildgate}
+1 {Cavern of Souls}

Probably finish the playset of {Falkenrath Aristocrat}.

I have found caverns make the kill spells harder to get off. Yes guild gates suck, but in the interest of hitting your colors even if you have to wait a turn is better than not hiting the appropriate colors when you need them. Adding a cavern in place of a swamp might be a good call though. Ill run it past Dennis

How would this deck cope if someone played {Curse of Death's Hold} against you? (Let's say it was side boarded in)
Is there any good rakdos colored responses?

{blood artist} and {lobber crew} would be the counter techs against that.

{blood artist} early game makes any kind of wrath a double edged sword.

{lobber crew} is meant to side against enemy weenies, but can be used to close the damage gap for the kill on control as well.
