Huntmaster of the Fells  ^Flip is a good optional hellrider sometimes, or Falkenrath Aristocrat if you still need a good hasty creature.

As for the deck being posted onto a question area (that I'm sure Epoch has hotkeyed a "The Q&A section is for mtg rules questions only" and has likely entered it in before I even finish typing this) you are aware that this site has it's own deckbuilding feature, and that it creates it's own nice page with links, a few charts and a section dedicated to other people commenting on your deck.

Messenger might not be a good card for this deck, mostly due to having less than half the landbase as black mana.

The Q&A section is for rules-related questions.

Moved to the general forum.

He probably can't afford it.

If money is indeed the issue.

Archwing Dragon has haste and evasion, and it's psuedo-resilient from sorcery based removal. Wolfir Avenger could have its moments. Also, you could just fill out aggression on the bottom of the curve with Experiment One .

I used Deadbridge Goliath for a while. Sure it isn't super speedy but a 5/5 for 4cmc isn't bad. Also I second the Geralf's Messenger not being right for this deck. Maybe some Lightning Mauler would fit a bit better.

Moved to Deck Help.

Put this in a deck form. It'll be much easier for us to read.
