Looks pretty good. The only thing I'd really do is turn those 2 islands into swamps. Looking at your land Mana vs costs, you really don't need them. The only thing that the islands will do is make your deck less consistent. You don't want an island to stand between you and your turn 3 messenger. I'd also crank up the messengers to 4, in favor of the butchered ghouls. Since you said they were sac fodder, wouldn't you want a creature who deals 2 damage when he comes back over a creature who does nothing? If you do plan on having a sideboard, just know that it must contain exactly 15 cards to be played at an FNM. On that note, having 3 unbreathing hordes in the sideboard wouldn't be a bad idea. It really shines in the off chance that your opponent is trying to mill you.You can also consider playing a set of Blood Artists in your mainboard. If anything dies, no matter what it is, they lose a life. Or more if you have multiple. The only time you may have a problem is with call to the grave. But they'd still lose the life from you needing to sac it. Good luck!

I would definitly put everything in your maybe board in, 3 unbreathing hoardes, 1 havengul lich and i cant remember what else you had. Grim Grin Corpse born is a must especially since you have gravecrawlers in the deck. I would also put highborn ghouls in since they have intimidate and when everything cycles out artifacts pretty much are done. There really arent that many creature artifacts that wont cycle out that people will use, which leaves just a matter of facing someone using black making intimidate useless.
