So, i have a boros Aggro deck up, that is centered around getting aura's and the like on a 1 drop monster and swinging quickly, and i've thought about adding Rakdos Cackler in as perhaps my one drop. There is a few reasons for this, but the main one being it's Black color. This prevents one major source of destruction against my deck ((Doom Blade)), thus, to me, improving my chances of having a good game. Does anyone Agree/Disagree.

Rakdos Cackler is a good 1-drop for any aggressive deck running red in Standard. The fact that his hybrid cost makes him immune to Doom Blade and Ultimate Price is a bonus, but not a stand-alone reason to run him. You run him because he's a 2/2 for 1.
You probably also want Soldier of the Pantheon
and Firedrinker Satyr
(yes, Firedrinker Satyr
).
2 power for 1 mana is all you need.

I'm already running at least 3 ((I think he's 4)) of Soldier of the Pantheon

Yes. He fits into your deck well and dodges removal.
Isn't a 2/2 for 1 just a good deal in general?
