I'm working on a standard Assault Formation Deck. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure which cards I should completely cut, and what I should replace them with.
The Castigator drops the curve though and allows him to run a little less ramp and long as he hits RR on T4. If opponent can't answer the Castigator immediately it's goodgame and move on. All you need is one pump spell like that +0/+5 and the Castigator kills them in 2 turns. This deck wants to kill the opponent before they even need to play large threats.

So would you suggest going RGW or cutting W entirely for the consistent manabase?

Why would you want to dilute your manabase by adding white, when Assault Formation + Goldnight Castigator + Shape the Sands and Vessel of Nascency seems like more than a solid way to start this deck, admittedly devoted to abusing Assault Formation?

I'd cut 2 Moldgraf Scavengers, 2 Watcher in the Webs or 2 Titanic Growths for a play set of Goldnight Castigator. This card is absolutely ridiculous in these Assault Formation decks and is 101% worth splashing for. Turn 2 Assault Formation, Turn 3 some dork, Turn 4 Flying, Haste Angel dealing 9 damage + other creatures.
The mana curve is quite bad since it goes from 1-2 drops into 6-7 drops, also if you are planning to run these big, heavily costed creatures you need alot more ramp & lands.
Hope this helped!
