The idea is quite interesting, seems like even Game 1 could leave your opponent wondering what they are playing against if you draw Gavony Township for example.
How has Chalice been working out for you? And why the Bauble?

Precisely, Brownscale merely deepens your graveyard while gaining you life.
Though after having slept on it I don't like any aspect of Rakdos TE better than its Golgari counterpart.

As far as points go, that is pretty good one. Though the lack of lifegain, the removal magnet that Aura Gnarlid automatically becomes, the reduced opportunity of a fast kill caused by a lack Of ethereal armor, and the much hindered potential of Shield of the Oversoul makes me wonder whether it is better.

Though I do like your approach. I do like asking whether sacrificing speed and resilience for a different kind of resilience and consistency is worth it.
+1 from me then.

No problem, Blessing is an extraordinary card in this regard running just one makes people paranoid and think you have a 'counterspell' for their doom blade with just 1 red open xD

This is extremely interesting I'll give you that. But how do you protect yourself? I'd expect something like Propaganda or one more card like Evacuaiton, Engulf the Shore or something. But I have no idea how this would play, this is just a suspicion.

The only issue I have is that Thallids are slow and vulnerable to... everything. Ergo it is the best and in fact only viable strategy to get as many as you can to ensure the counters will do something.
That siad Morbid Bloom is quite a weak card.
That too being said I agree that the direction is beginning to crystallize a bit.

Ah, I hate to see a deck be so unfocused. Thalids seldom work, when they do it is because you run like 20 of them, and I am talking of the spore counter kind, the others don't count.

Hang on, hang on. No Bonesplitter? No Lightning Bolt?
Flayer Husk is great against edict effects.
Apostole's Blessing is great in decks that need their creatures alive.
Brute Force is great when playing with double strike.
Journey to Nowhere is better than arrest.
Wind scarred crag maaaaaybe? Not sure on this one...

Really?
Goryo's Vengeance + Emrakul = the equivalent of slapping someone with a moon, aka winning.
Ensnaring Bridge + Leyline of Sanctity = I AM INVINCIBLE. And once you are Chandra wins the game, slowly, not that that matters when you are invincible.

Remarkable for being under 30$, that much I will give you. But I have severe doubts as to how it would hold up against anything unfair or combo-containing. That concern is why people tend to spend a 100$ at least for a budget deck.
You could however include some discard or Painful Quandary, or make a sideboard that is entirely just white hate cards akin to Rule of Law and Suppression Field.

This was a part of a series of decks that just plainly suck. They were themed decks that bore individuals could make to have some fun.
Now that I am here I will try to do something with it however.

Fair enough, although Madness seems more like a sideboard card in this case but I don't know your meta

See, now what you have 8 creatures that get BIG and 8 creatures that don't die. That is hard to stop, that is consistency.

True, but it is not relevant to the board state, where as something like Butcher Ghoul is, in a sacrifice synergistic, board centric creature deck I think we both know which is better.
The issue then becomes whether there is another card like butcher ghoul, and Sultai Emissary springs to mind.
