This deck will probably do quite well against anything that doesn't have board wipes. Unfortunately Bonfire exists and nearly all the extremely popular RB(g) Zombie/Vamp/Rakdos decks are playing it. Zombies are considered so powerful because they have a ton of graveyard recursion after a wipe and {Lotleth Troll} can ignore board wipes. This deck probably has to go all in to win, and scoops to any board wipe. Just my thoughts on the look of the meta right now. I'd change the deck around and take out most of your mono white guys, add {Snapcaster Mage} and make the deck more midrange. With the amount of removal and lack of {Lightning Bolt}esque cards in standard I really don't think a straight aggro deck like this can work.

I have yet to come across a single board wipe in testing, and this deck does not need to go 'all in to win'. Often times I can win with just 2 maybe 3 guys out, spectral flight one of them, maybe bond with a paladin, or with an Ajani out.
And taking out most of my mono white guys would make it a different deck entirely, not remotely the same in any way.

I played a similar build at my lgs FNM and took top 4 (we split). The only deck I had issues with U/W/R miracles and the board wipes are the only thing that killed me. Zombies (B/G and R/B/G), Vamps, Esper Tokens, Jund Midrange, and Super Friends gave me no problems at all. {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben}, {Fiend Hunter}, {Detention Sphere}, {Snapcaster Mage} + {Azorious Charm}, and {Restoration Angel} helped me a ton. I got rid of {Precinct Captain} after playtesting with some friends. Its good but the most tokens I ever got from one was three. {Thalia} was much better in my opinion because most control decks stress about getting rid of her over {Geist of Saint Traft} and {Champion of the Parish}. {Elite Inquisitor} is amazing but I only main decked two.
IMO
-2 to 4 {Precinct Captain}
-2 {Elite Inquisitor}

+2 {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} (At least SB them)
+2 {Fiend Hunter}
Or
+ 2 {Detention Sphere}

Or
+ 4 {Restoration Angel}

For Sideboard, {Reborn Defenses}, {Pithing Needle}, and {Sundering Growth}

Also an after thought, if you see a {Supreme Verdict} main board the {Reborn Defenses}. Its the only way to stop it other than maybe an {Unsummon}.  Thats what killed me along with {Terminus} against the U/W/R miracles.
