The sideboard of this deck is what I need help with the most, but if you have suggestions for other areas that could be improved, then please suggest them!

This deck aims to win as fast as possible, using the cheap heroic cards in Rakdos colours to quickly overwhelm the opponent though board pressence

Key Cards:

Akroan Crusader : Good one drop, helps build up board presence very quickly.

Tormented Hero : 2 power, 1 drop. Another good opener, draining for life can be quite effective.

Spiteful Returned : bestow cost is a bit topy for an aggro deck at 4 CMC, but its effect of 2 unpreventable damage can make all the difference.

Pain Seer and Read the Bones : fill similar functions of putting cards in your hand. Pain seer can turn sidewise whilst putting more cards in your hand, useful when nothing in the deck costs more then 3 CMC. Read the bones can fill a similar role, scrying away lands you don't need.

Madcap Skills and Gift of Orzhova : Evasion is always good in an aggro deck, Gift of Orzhova synergies especially well with Pain Seer, allowing it to tap relatively safely by attacking, and healing up damage you take by putting cards in your hand.

One of the great aspects of this deck is its price. If you were willing to drop some more money on it the duel lands like Blood Crypt or Temple of Malice are probably the best way to make this deck better.
