Went with a golgari built with a light splash for auger spree. The lack of blockers with reach concerns me but it seems a more solid creature package than rakdos.

My deck is very similar, the only difference is that I'm -3 Rubbleback Rhino and -1 Aerial Predation, +1 Street Spasm, +1 Spawn of Rix-Maadi, +1 Grisly Salvage, +1 Golgari Charm.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.

The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.

I hope you all feel really smart now.
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.

Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.

Scavange heavy deck with multiple targets for the +1/+1 counters : Daggerdome Imp has flying and lifelink, Bloodfray Giant and Korozda Monitor have trample, the Rubbleback Rhinos have hexproof, but the best target is Wild Beastmaster. The 5 removals as well as Rogue's Passage will help those fatties get through blockers. Grisly Salvage can throw scavange cards directly in the grave while finding a good target for all this scavanging. The deck can also be quite agressive if needed with its low curve and unleash/deathouch creatures.
