Many Aggro decks with R/G are out there. To see what is Top 8ing, try Mtgtop8.com. It's what I use to plan my SB and see key components. I also suggest watching set reviews for STD sets and see what catches your eye. Some interesting mechanics I believe are still yet to be unfound. GL on brewing :)

 {Flinthoof Boar} and  {Burning-Tree Emissary} and  {Huntmaster of the Fells} is a good start.  Very aggressive.

{strangleroot Geist} is good too. I also posted a R/G aggro deck on this forum under modern. That could help get you started

Burning-Tree is great with aggro combining that with 2 one drops. {Goblin Guide} is also a great aggro card, along with {madcap skills}

I bought madcap skills recently. It was only 25 cents so i bought four for kicks. I will try to find those other cards

Well,I know a really good Land Discarder damage deck in {R} and {G} but it involves 4 {Life from the Loam} and 2 {Borborygmos Enraged}

{Ghor Clan Rampager} is also very powerful. {Rakdos Cackler} is a pretty solid 1 drop as well

Would {Ratchet Bomb} be worth putting in my deck?

Honestly maybe sideboard it. If you are going green/red aggro, you're going to want to focus more on getting your creatures out and attacking as fast as possible. Don't forget about {rancor} or even {scab-clan mauler}. The mauler is great with {burning-tree emissary} on your second main phase after attacking for damage.

That's not a legal play. Mana empties at the end of each phase, not turn

It's legal because you cast the burning tree on your second main phase and use that mana to cast {scab-clan mauler}. This is after you have attacked for damage hopefully.
