Deck Idea: Building around Faith of the Devoted with Madness?

I've been toying with the idea of building around Faith of the Devoted as the focus of a deck instead of Drake Haven. I admit it's a good card, but my inner Johnny would rather use Faith.

It would probably be Red/Black and run my favorite cards with madness, Alms of the Vein + Fiery Temper as well as Lightning Axe removal. What should I run this as?

• A burn deck that plays the long game a bit by draining with Faith, pinging with Thermo-Alchemist, and fuelling it with Cathartic Reunion and Tormenting Voice?
• A control deck that runs control-y cards like Call the Bloodline and Collective Brutality?
• An aggro deck that plays pretty efficient large creatures like Bloodrage Brawler, Furyblade Vampire, or Bedlam Reveler?

It'll definitely depend on my LGS's meta, but I'd like a second opinion on what seems stronger now that Copycat is gone.

If you want to check out my deck I want to ride my tri(cycle) maybe you could get some ideas? If you go Agro I would consider Flameblade Adept and if you go burn I would consider Soul-Scar Mage
