Ok, now that I've gotten over thundermaw's price lol

Does the guildgate do much?  I'd honestly just take it out for another swamp.  Even a 1-of seems like it'd be too slow for a build like this.

I do like the non-zombie rakdos builds.  Zombie decks are getting stale :-\

I fell like the one guildgate does help a little bit, in the hands where it allows me to play a turn 2 {Ash Zealot}, I tend to have weird luck with lands, it used to be a swamp but when it was I could NEVER cast T2 Ash Zealot, with it as a guildgate I guess the deck likes me a bit more

Well, I can't argue with that.  I've had weird little things like that happen to me before.

Overall, I really like this as a maindeck.  {Knight of Infamy} and {Falkenrath Aristocrat} are very solid aggro cards.  I'd probably build something similar to this if I had the money for the artistocrays :P

I just got {Falkenrath Aristocrat}'s myself, had been waiting till I had the cash, I like them in this deck even better than in BR zombies, as most people forget about the human clause on her sac ability, and this deck has 13 humans, you can really catch people off guard with it and force the couple lethal points in the air

I've always kind of wondered about that.  So many decks have her as a heavy hitter, but don't allow the cards full potential to show.  I wish I still had mine.  Traded both away before I realized their power :P

Can't decide if I should replace {Gore-House Chainwalker} with {Rakdos Shred-Freak}

I honestly like chain walker.  It could be a chump blocker or a decent attacker.  Choices are always good.
