Deck discussion for Andreas Nilsson's Rakdos Aggro

Looks decent, but there is deffinetly some better cards that work well with the Aggro approach.
Instead of the Knight Of Infamys, which work horribly with the Hellriders and the idea of simply mass attackings, maybe replace with another zombie creature so you can use Gravecrawler more constantly such as Rakdos Guildmage, Shepherd Of Rot or Wight of Precinct Six for examples. The Falkenrath is a good card, no doubt, but your lack of humans make her almost worthless, there are alot of vampires that work good for Aggro, or even put in Rakdos, Lord Of Riots.

I made my own Rakdos themed Aggro deck, and it's worked very well in my experience, might give you some ideas.

Knight of Infamy allows you to attack through Boros reckoners, and allows you to counter a resto angel with a Nighthawk. Also, the Falkenrath is used to grant a sacrafice a will ability, which when paired with Blood artist, Grave crawler and another zombie makes for a deadly combo. And, by sacraficing you no longer have to wait until after combat to use the morbid trigers provided by Brimstone volley and Tragic slip.

Alright, standing corrected. Although, Lord Of Riots would be still a very good touch.

The reason Falkenrath Aristocrat is better than Lord of Riots is because you can make it indestructible for just sacrificing a creature. Which is strictly better than regenerate because it doesn't tap down the Aristorcrat.
That said, this deck looks very solid. The only thing I don't really like is the mainboard Mark of Mutiny but that's a small complaint. Maybe think about Appetite for Brains or Skullcrack to deal with Thragtusk and Reaminator/Lifegain.

Oh, my bad I misread Falkenrath, when my buddy showed me it when he found it a few days ago, he said you needed to sacrifice a human. Seems like you can sac anything. In that case, keep her there since you can sacrifice the Gravecrawler, bring him back and repeat.
