Luis-Scott Vargas did an article about this list on daily mtg and I love it. Adjusted sb for meta also thinking of running less {Ultimate Price} mb and adding a coupe {Mogis's Marauder}

{Mogis's Marauder} is a must for aggro black

I'd recommend {Rakdos Shred Freak} instead of Thrill Kill

steerpike is correct that i would rather use her as a chumper than  shred freak if i had too. or depending upon my curve i can unleash and have a pretty evasive guy

Agreed. I think xathrid should be in the sideboard against supreme verdict decks. Going t1 tormented hero, t2 thrill-kill, into t3 xathrid is a pretty solid curve

{ogre slumlord} is a good card for {pack rat}. Gives all your pack rats and rats with ogre death touch

Slumlord is too high for the curve. I curve at 4 and most are 1-2 drops.

I'd top the curve out with {Liliana's Reaver}. It's super agro, and if they have already used their removal on pack rats and lifebabes chances are they won't have much left for a zombie that really hurts when it gets through.

I guess it's really a toss up between the desecration demon or the zombie. Both demand answers tho.

Fixes
-4 {Desecration Demon}
+4{Gray Merchant of Ashpodel}
     Although this jumps my curve quite a bit i felt that this was the way to go. Everytime i could cast {Desecration Demon} i didn't because there was a better play i could make. The merchant really helps get that last point of damage through. 
- 4 {Lifebane Zombies}
+4 {Nightveil Specter}
     This doesn't mess with my curve at all and gives me a good flier while i can try and hit some of those answers.
Sideboard
-4 {Nightveil Specter}
+2{Whip of Erebos}
+2{Erebos, God of the Dead}
     Obviously dropped the Specters because they are now main board. The whips were added to get more utility from {Gray Merchant of Asphodel}. Erebos was added because he is great against control hands down. {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} can still hit for four but no life gain. {Archangel of Thune} less awesome as 3/4 vanilla flyer for 5 mana. May drop the Erebos i will decide at a later time.

Rakdos aggro may be a bit quicker 4  {Rakdos Shred-Freak} 4  {Rakdos Cackler} 4  {Spike Jester} 2  {Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch} 4  {Ash Zealot} 4  {Mutavault} 2  {Rakdos, Lord of Riots} & the obvious creature removal and burn spells, possibly some  {Hellhole Flailer}

I know the list. I wanted to run mono black not rakdos.
