Well i appreciate all of these comments a lot, my thought process behind was that i had in there and it fit nicely. WHEN IT FLIPPED. but it rarely flipped.. so i felt like i should replace it with another one drop that has the ability of getting large.
@Drayk I dont really like you idea of also could fit into my arguement, so i will take another look at it. Now as for your Blasphemous Act comment, in my beta i have a lot of swarm/agro/token/ridiculous-amount-of-creatures type decks which is why i run them main board, but i can understand where you are coming from if it was pretty costly in most of your games. My question now is if i should put in a card like Whipflare ? or put Slagstorm in my main board? or do you think that i should just forget about a board wipe? I like your idea of Silent Departure though because protecting your my creatures is very crucial at some moments during this decks' games. and Silent Departure can also remove a blocker, so i like where your going with that, please let me know what you think about this comment. Thank your for your time and input!

No need to thank. (:
In one of my games playing, I had a Curse of Death's Hold placed on me, which really shut down all of my creatures EXCEPT Stormblood Berserker after I had pinged my opponent with a Geistflame. I didn't end up winning, but I was able to delay the inevitable at least, haha. If you don't like the Berserker and are hesitant to drop him, consider Chandra's Phoenix. Its got evasion, can survive a Death's Hold, and you have means to be able to recast it. Not to mention the haste can be deadly when a Curse of Stalked Prey is on the field.
As for board wipe, this is something I'm not too sure about either. Protecting your creatures is important, but so is the ability to stop being overrun by your opponent. Whipflare or Rolling Temblor (preferably) would be a better alternative to Blasphemous Act in my eyes, especially if you run Chandra's Phoenix with it. Its really up to you.
And yeah, I'm going to continue playtesting with Silent Departure myself. I find many players leave only one creature untapped when they swing you, and in my couple of games that card has granted me a clear swing to win.

You would need to do vapor snag over silent departure. It is an instant and it does one point of damage that helps speed the winning up. Your chance of ever flash backing silent departure is slim in an aggressive deck like this.

is great, but it is also designed for certain deck types...

hmm great deck, although im not sure about some cards here Blasphemous Act is soo heavy and your deck may be creature heavy, but opponents have elim so idk. maybe try Slagstorm in its place? also not so sure about Mana Barb mainboard..its a great tool against controll but it hurrts your deck aswell since u have no mana givers. instead of charge maybe try 2 gambits mb? draw is awfully good in decks that wanna dump hands lol. gl and +1

My suggestion is Ghostform instead of Artful Dodge. Even still, I love the deck, take a look at my R/U (R/U Budget Miracles +1

I built this quickly on Magic Online, didn't really do much for me so I replaced it with Stormblood Berserker and it made it much more harder to deal with.
I don't think Blasphemous Act is really suited mainboarded for this kind of deck. I end up having no more than 3 creatures on the field (Either due to removal, or just not drawing enough) and its been a dead draw in my hand for a couple of games. It should just be placed in your sideboard for when you go against swarm/token decks.
I replaced the Act with Geistflame, didn't really suit, so I replaced that with Silent Departure and surprisingly it won me a couple of games.
Just thought I might share my experience quickly playing around with it. (:
