Notes:
I made a rough draft of this while bored at work and tested it last night. Did surprisingly well for being the first draft (and me being still being a novice deck builder.) I want to maybe add some {diregraf captain}s for the buffs and extra damage, but I don't know what I should take out. All the cards in here did really well in the deck and its hard to figure out what to cut. Suggestions?

I don't know if I'd add blue to play a 5 mana 4/4. While {Havengul Lich} can be a nasty card, he's really more for the {Heartless Summoning} type deck then an aggro one.

Also, if you're playing red for {Dreadbore} and {Mizzium Mortars}, might I suggest {Pillar of Flame} which is crazy useful, or a {Searing Spear}. Again, don't know if those removal spells are worth it to play a 3rd color. {Abrupt Decay}, {Victim of Night}, {Sign in Blood}, {Ultimate Price} do fine as replacements for red.

Yeah he underperformed the most. It was good with discarding for {lotleth troll} then bringing said discarded card back, but {gravecrawler} can also achieve this and is faster.

{Dreadbore} came in handy more often as a planeswalker removal. But yeah, im going to drop the mortars for another abrupt and ultimate price. Overloading it wasnt fast enough.

As I said in the notes section, im still a novice deck builder, so these are exactly the suggestions im looking for.
