This is my first EDH deck and I'm trying to improve it, so I figured I would ask for some suggestions!

The basic strategy that I've been working with is to get Rakdos, Lord of Riots onto the board quickly, and then start flooding the board with big guys, making life very difficult for everyone else. Basically, I let Rakdos do what Rakdos does: Start a riot.

Any suggestions to improve this deck would be greatly appreciated! I'm still relatively new to EDH so if I've missed any EDH aggro staples, please let me know!

UPDATE: I haven't really put a lot of work into updating this deck, but now I'm going at it hard! This deck has gone through a lot of changes since its inception as some weird Rakdos tribal deck. Now it can respectably call itself an aggro deck. With the addition of Aggravated Assault (which conveniently goes infinite with Neheb, the Eternal) and Combat Celebrant, Rakdos can finally get the endless party he has always wanted. On top of that, I've added some more value creatures. Namely Thudermaw Hellkite, Rockslide Elemental, and Neheb, the Eternal. I've also added some enchantments that prevent my opponents from stopping the party. These would be Stranglehold, Keldon Twilight, and Everlasting Torment. I added a better board wipe in the form of a Blasphemous Act, and found a good planeswalker in Angrath, the Flame-Chained. Finally, I've added another win-con into the deck. Rise of the Dark Realms comboed with either Urabrask the Hidden or Ogre Battledriver will almost definitely end any game.

I'm really happy with the place I've brought this deck from where it started, but I feel like there is still more work to be done. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
