for me no matter what deck I play I usually go for at least 22 lands. The more control type of the deck I'd put more lands, near 25. But that's how I play :)

No draw engine, so the 2 of removals seems inconsistent. With 20 lands you won't be able to cast the Aristocrat at times, and Olivia is very mana heavy, so it doesn't really fit well. Blood artist doesn't fit a hasty theme and the Legion Loyalist doesn't synergise with the Falkenrath Aristocrat. You only have 4 humans, and they are RR, while your land base in not supportive of that.
Remove the two Farseek and put two more Rootbound Crag s may be?

geniusloki: yea a agree with the Farseek for Rootbound Crag , i just dont have them at the moment. Having a human for aristocrat is just a bonus in my mind, plus i have the knights sideboarded.
chiefball: cackler over viper? not aggo enough i suppose? I like the idea of having the viper to attack for 2 with Legion Loyalist turn 2. possibly 4 with Rancor also loyalist can do 2 damage by turn two as does cacker, but he can also block which is nice. I like more defense then the usual aggro has.
i'll do some play testing with montains instead of Farseek tho
Also, Golgari Charm instead of Rakdos Charm ?

I would go Rakdos Cackler over Wasteland Viper .
Be a bit wary of only having 20 land and some of it being slow. If you want to be winning quickly then guildgates aren't the best because obviously they come in tapped so you can't use them straight away.
