MARDU TOKENS. MY 1st Original Deck (Standard MTG Deck)

This is the first deck that I've ever built on my own, and I'm very excited about it, but I'd love to hear what better players think... I've only been playing for about 6 months.

The main idea of this deck is to get a bunch of tokens early with Hordeling Outburst and Raise the Alarm and then go off with Butcher of the Horde, Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury, and Sorin, Solemn Visitor.

Soldier of the Pantheon and Bloodsoaked Champion are both solid 2/1 for 1's, so they get things going quickly. The incremental life gain from Soldier helps while racing too.

Goblin Rabblemaster wins games on its own, especially when it's unchecked.

Lightning Strike and Crackling Doom should keep you alive long enough to alpha strike with tokens.

I'm not sure if the mana is good. Only have three Temple of Malice, and the rest are untapped lands. Not sure if I should add one more Temple of Epiphany or Temple of Malice, or if it's just a good mana base as it is.

Lastly, the side board works like this:Murderous Cut and Hero's Downfall and Utter End come in for Crackling Doom because Targeted removal can be better against ramp decks with bombs. Downfall is better than Cut, right? Or should i drop Utter End for another Cut?

Hushwing Gryff comes in against Siege Rhino, Hornet Queen, and Whip decks.

Searing Blood comes in for the mirror match because zapping a token and burning for three is SUPER value at two mana.

Lastly, for my local meta, a lot of people play Villainous Wealth Ramp. They run a green devotion core with Courser of Kruphix, Sylvan Caryatid, etc. Because of this, I put in Dictate of the Twin Gods + Stoke the Flames at yourself + Deflecting Palm= 16 damage to the face!

Even without that silly combo, Dictate of the Twin Gods can get you better trades because the tokens and 2/1's die to Courser anyway.

Mardu Charm is currently not mained or sided, but I have 4 of them. Should they be run because they have so much utility? Despise is another card that could go in the board, but I'm not sure.

Any comments would be appreciated. (Maybeboard=cards I have that could go in easily)

Low-cost Black Creatures? — Feb. 24, 2015

Edit

I'm underwhelmed by how Mardu Shadowspear and Bloodsoaked Champion are performing. I'm not sure what to put in their places, or how that would affect the mana. I just know I'd like something to change.

Also, in this deck is Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury better than Stormbreath Dragon? They can both be haste creatures for 5. Stormbreath has pro-white, but I think Kolaghan might enable everything below her on the curve more effectively?
