This Rakdos Aggro Rush deck is built for the early game. The perfect start would be getting a Vexing Devil on the battlefield on turn 1 (mostly sacrificed by the opponent). After that you would be playing as much small creatures as possible (turn 2 Spike Jester; opponent down to 13) and clearing the way with the removalspells. In turn 4 you drop Falkenrath Aristocrat which should kill your opponent within the next 2-3 turns. There are enough creatures to sacrifice (and also 11 humans in the deck!), but the falkenrath is oc stuck against a Path to Exile... There is quite a good combo where I am attacking with my Falkenrath Aristocrat and activating the regenerate ability of the Bloodsoaked Champion to sacrifice him as many times as possible. This gives my Falkenrath additional usefull +1/+1 counters every round.

If your opponent survives and recovers from the early game you are pretty much fucked... I'm wondering if I should get a better midgame but this would weaken the brutality of the early game.

Any suggestions?
