Alright so my previous decks have all kinda gotten killed at tournaments. So i invested some money and traded cards in to my local card stores and I built this deck. It beats almost every deck I play against with my friends. So what do u think i should change? and if I should enter it in tournaments.

Creatures:
2 - Thundermaw Hellkite
4 - Falkenrath Aristocrat
1 - Rakdos, Lord of Riots
1 - Desecration Demon
4 - Geralf's Messenger
3 - Knight of Infamy (NEED ANOTHER OF THESE)
4 - Blood Artist
4 - Gravecrawler  
4 - Diregraf Ghoul
3 - Vexing Devil

(Gonna cut out the desecration demon and put in another knight of Infamy. Also gonna cut out the vexing devils and put in stromkirk nobels. Good idea or no?)

Instants/Sorrceries/Enchantments:
2 - Bonfire of the Damned
4 - Dreadbore
3 - Tragic Slip

Any thoughts?

Lands:
4 - Cavern of Souls
4 - Blood crypt
4 - Dragonskull summit
6 - Swamp
2 - Mountain

Any suggestions?

Please post if you have any ideas. Value of card is somewhat important. I can always save up but I want to play quickly because a lot of my cards become illegal in July.


EDIT: Actually had 4 Geralf's Messengers

Thanks!

Vexing Devil, Desacration Demon, and Blood artist all work together very well. Are you sure you want to diminish this synergy for a pro-black dude and a dude that gets big pretty much only if your opponent runs a human deck? Humans are not really a thing to the degree that they were before Gatecrash... just a thought. Other than that, I like what you're doing. Does your sideboard have a lot of removal?

I would say -1 Falkenrath Aristocrat -3 Knight of Infamy and +1 Vexing Devil
+1 Rakdos, Lord of Riots and +2 Desecration Demon . the synergy here is just great. Your opponent really doesnt want a 1 drop 4/3 on the field early before they have answers so right there is 4 damage most games, and late game the devil is still a 1 drop 4/3 thats crazy. Rakdos is just good, everyturn after he is out you can use him to cause damage and then play more creatures after for really cheap. and the demons, you can either feed him at the same time you feed creatures to the aristocrat and your opponent can feed it until they run out of creatures and when hes a 10/10 flyer and they have nothing out because of your bonfire, swing in with all youve got and its over. Thats how I feel. but nice list either way.

I'm not sure that is true. I'm seeing a lot of Naya human deck lists (on the web pages that track these things; I haven't had a chance to play standard yet post-Gatecrash).

One of my housemates plays Naya humans. Trust me, its a thing. See The First Gatecrash Champion

The deck seems split between  being agressive and being resilient. I'm not sure it applies enough pressure for aristocrat to be better than Olivia.

No cards become illegal in July. Rotation occurs in October.

you're like 2 months too late to be playing this deck
Blue is the best color ever.  How do you deal?

I haven't followed standard in a little while, what's happening? Boros I assume? People who are in the loop, please let me know how the deck has been obsoleted and what the meta looks like (competitive, obvs).

Your deck needs more land, mate. 20 won't cut it. You want to pick a colour to focus on a main colour, I'd say black since you've got a zombies theme going on. You want another Messenger, lose the Devils.

Alright i've got some problems with this. First of all, Why lose falkenrath? It's a very good card for aggro. a 4/1 with haste and flying is a good card, The ability makes the card. Second, No way get rid of knight of infamy. It's great early game with exaulted and for that matter late game when i play a hellkite or a aristocrat. Third, I'd rather play a Falkenrath Aristocrat then a desecration demon because it has haste, and against a lot of decks most people will just sac a weak creature to tap it. Also Rakdos is good I might add one but not cut our falkenraths, it has a nice little combo with aristocrat and blood artist, gravecrawler as well if I have another zombie in play. Vecing Devils are good but ur opponent will always do what u don't want. Ex. Turn 1 they'll take 4 (which is good but i'd rather get something i could attack and block with) Or once they have a way to block they'll let me play it. I have thundermaw for a nice finisher as well as bonfire. Unless I play a deck thats big on reach (Haven't faced one yet) it's an automatic 5 damage. 

Thanks I played in a tournament at Cloud Cap by my friend's house and won every match.
