Got 2nd on FNM last week playing Rakdos Aristocrats, would've won even but I made some sequencing mistakes on round 1 which caused me to get a tie instead of another win. Won all the other matches.
I played Tibalt instead of Chandras in the main, this is the current list (which I'm still working on):
I want to include 4 Bonecrusher Giants since I want more interaction and bigger body. I'm also missing another sac outlet (probably Mask of Immolation) and once I have that, I'll play the second Claim the Firstborn.
Went 3-0 yesterday, playing against Izzet Draw2 (2-1) Golgari (2-0), Monoblue Mill (2-1).
Monoblue is the hardest matchup so far lol...
Nice, I'm working on a boros knights build now because of the better mana base.
I feel like you should try to fit a couple of spawns of mayhem in your deck, maybe not play 4 witch's ovens, also one tin street guy doesn't make much sense either.

Witch's Oven is more important than the Cat, because multiple copies are good, while multiple copies of the Cat aren't (you can sac and return the same Cat repeatedly if you have more Ovens).
Tin Street and the Cookie guys are there to better enable Theater of Horrors and they also benefit from Judith. They don't seem like they do much but there's many games that you win just because of the chip-unblockable damage. I could see cutting Tin Street as it is the weaker of them both tho.
Hellkite seems above the curve especially with only 22 lands on the deck. The curve should stop at 3 drops.
Chandra is a good idea if mayhem devil is on the board.
If you play 4 crusaders maybe you only need 2 theaters.

3-1 today, only lost to G/B adventures. Didn't draw very well against him so not much I could do (drew over 12 lands in the first game). I keep feeling like I can beat any deck with this outside of bad luck.
I kept a 1 lander against someone and won even though I drew my second land on turn 4... cat + oven is that good lol.
EDIT: Oh and Embercleave is the *****... win games out of nowhere!
I'm going to take this deck into pioneer since it'll have a sweet mana base and access to more broken cards such as hazoret as a top end 4 mana creature.
She also works great with theater since the cards are not in your hands and her discard damage helps to trigger theater.
