My thought is that Reality Smasher and Thought-Knot Seer are too expensive for the curve of this deck. While Reality Smasher is great at the top of the curve if you up the land count, Thought-Knot Seer seems better if you are trying to build toward other things in the deck, such as setting up larger eldrazi. You are only playing 22 lands, so the odds are that you are going to struggle getting past 3 lands most games. If you want to keep it low to the ground, I would just focus on maybe adding 1-2 more lands, and having good 2 and 3 drops. Vile Aggregate was amazing when I used to play the deck. Here's what I think I would be running:
I would have thought that Vile Aggregate doesn't get big enough but maybe I'm wrong. You're right about the lands though I should go up to 24. Is Blighted Gorge that good?
Cards from the full spoiler that deserve discussion Essence Depleter not a bad body for 3 and it gives us some reach if we get stuck. It would not be hard for us to drain 2 and gain two a turn if we can't attack through. Kozilek’s Shrieker As I read it you can pump it as much as you want and again it won't be hard for us to generate 2-3 C at any given point. Visions of Brutality As a sideboard possibility. I know auras are usually bad but it takes out a blocker and reduces our vulnerability to the counter attack. Potential sideboard. Eldrazi Aggressor probably not, but interesting. Devour in Flames I think is a necessary sideboard card. Also we can bounce our crumbling vestiges with it and get an extra coloured mana out of it if we need to.
Going far too many directions for an Aggro deck. Also, think of your curve you probably shouldn't have anything over 3 CMC unless this is going to be more of a midrange strategy. While a good thought this seems like a weaker form of Abzan Aggro with no Ana Banana or Dr. Siegemond Rhinoceros.

Spoiler EditorETA I just noticed that's 57 cards
I'm going to edit the original post
You'd think it would have a place in some number?
I actually think this deck wants to be Grixis C or Jund C. Especially running Crossroads.
Also. I know it's out of flavor, but a couple Heelcutter couldn't hurt.
