I am currently 1-3 w/ the deck so here is where I am at with the list
Lands:
3 Rakdos Guildgate 9 Swamp 8 Mountain
Creatures:
4 Bloodflow Connoisseur 4 Bloodthrone Vampire 4 Butcher Ghoul 1 Driver of the Dead 3 Festering Newt 3 Goblin Arsonist
Other Spells:
3 Act of Treason 3 Brimstone Volley 4 Krenko's Command 4 Searing Spear 3 Sign in Blood 4 Tragic Slip
Sideboard:

I first tried the Altar's reap but I am going to admit I was wrong switched to Sign in blood. This month's brew is a tough nut to crack but all and all I think I am making some..........progress.

Yeah I watched the video and I roll to anything with Flicker in it.
I did win vs. Boros 2-1 - he really chose his blocks wrong and gave me the match.

Win vs. a BGW build - black was removal only as far as I could tell. Pacifism is bad vs. the bom build, I think pacifism is bad vs. most standard pauper builds right now.
My current build 3 Act of Treason 4 Blood Bairn - replaced Bloodflow Connoisseur and it sped the deck up. 4 Bloodthrone Vampire 3 Brimstone Volley - a star - maybe I go back to 4 md and drop Searing Spear to 3. 4 Butcher Ghoul 2 Evolving Wilds 4 Goblin Arsonist 4 Krenko's Command 7 Mountain 4 Rakdos Guildgate 4 Searing Spear 3 Sign in Blood 8 Swamp 2 Thatcher Revolt - just trying it out. Too early to tell if it works. 4 Tragic Slip - another star.
SB 1 Act of Treason 3 Beckon Apparition 3 Duress 3 Gravepurge - The Mill deck isn't making the cut lately so this probably should be cut. 3 Mind Rot - I don't like this card but not sure what to replace it with yet. 2 Thunderbolt
I have not developed a SB plan yet. Just playing it as it comes but I don't like doing that so I will probably get something going in the next day or two.
Overall record - 6-7
edit: and of course as soon as I mention removing Gravepurge I face Mill. I still think that removing these may be the right move. I lost 2-1 but had mana issues both games I lost. Should the Evolving Wilds count be increased? .... and where's Haunted Fengraf? I'm going to add two Fengrafs to the deck and bump Thatcher Revolt - it sure as hell didn't help. Going to work on land and a SB. Probably will stick to 21 but change it up a bit.

I haven't really lost to mill yet. Boros is a cake walk, I amm very happy with how the brimstone volleys and tragic slips work out. I will be trying the blood bairn next I wanted to fully use the bloodflow connniseurs.

I'm getting there quick. I did beat a Selesnya build but no match is ever easy but lost to blue flyers.
Overall record is 7-8

Here is where I ended up record was 4-7.
Lands:
3 Rakdos Guildgate 9 Swamp 9 Mountain
Creatures:
4 Bloodthrone Vampire 4 Butcher Ghoul 3 Festering Newt 3 Goblin Arsonist 4 Blood Bairn
Other Spells:
3 Act of Treason 4 Brimstone Volley 3 Krenko's Command 4 Searing Spear 3 Sign in Blood 4 Tragic Slip
Sideboard:
3 Beckon Apparition 4 Duress 1 Mind Rot 2 Thunderbolt 3 Devour Flesh 2 Gravepurge
In short was an interesting deck to play just feel it wasn't that great given the meta, with blue control and ghostly flicker defining the meta game it makes these deck styles hard to play.

Just played against a mono black sac deck. He was clogging up the board with Drainpipe Vermin and Black Cats and it was pretty hard to get a profitable attack. I'm not a fan of the vermin, but it was effective to say the least. Would those work at all?
On a side note, I beat him 2-1 with the Gruul build from two(?) months ago. Missed a key block with Zhur-Taa Druid when I tapped him for mana (=

I've considered Black Cats as both a MD and SB option. May yet try them out and see how they work.
