Hello everyone! This is an attempt at a standard deck that has been giving me some very interesting, albeit mixed, results. I'll give a brief explanation for the cards.
I just try to bum rush to four mana as quickly as possible, but understandably, aggro decks are kind of scary. I've been testing this quite a bit on Cockatrice, and it's brought this to where it is now.
I'd like anyone's and everyone's opinions/advice for making this deck as awesome as it can be whether taking some cards out or even cracking the deck into pieces and completely pushing it into a different direction. I'm completely open to everything. Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried the deck, but here are a couple quick observations:
As good as Rancor is, given that you're playing 4x Corpsejack Menace and 3x Fathom Mage in your current deck configuration, I think you need to replace Rancor with one of the spells that adds +1/+1 counters. You're throwing away too much synergy otherwise.
Since you have access to black mana, you should probably be playing better removal than Rapid Hybridization.
Lotleth Troll would work pretty well in this deck (pitch Slitherhead to it, double counters when Corpsejack is in play).
3x Avacyn's Pilgrim
3x Cloudinf Raptor
4x Corpsejack Menace
3x Elusive Krasis
3x Fathom Mage
3x Gyre Sage
4x Master Biomancer
3x Slitherhead
3x Strangleroot Geist
3x vampire Nighthawk
3x Rancor
3x Rapid Hybridization
3x Farseek
Lands
4x Breeding Pool
3x Drowned Catacomb
4x Hinterland Harbor
3x Overgrown Tomb
3x Watery Grove
4x Woodland Cemetery
3x Predator Ooze
3x Burst of strength
3x Dimir Charm
3x Simic Charm
3x Golgari Charm

This is where I'm sitting at currently. Pacing back and forth over some decisions though, like:
I would add in something from the following:
These choices and decisions are causing me to stop and think. Would love some suggestions!
