While I was sorting cards, I stumbled onto Oni of Wild Places, an uncommon from Saviors of Kamigawa. I had yet to put it in a deck, so I decided to build a deck around it.
Obviously, I needed red creatures with a great 'come into play' ability. The first card that came to mind was Hellhole Rats. Bouncing this nasty rat every turn seems pretty nasty.
Sticking with Rakdos, I figured Squealing Devil would also be nice addition. At first I tried a RBU version with Rise//Fall and Izzet Chronarch, but that turned out to be way to slow and I really needed some artifact removal. So, in order to have acces to artifact removal, I added green for Tin Street Hooligan. For creature removal, I turned to Stalking Yeti and also added Chill to the Bone. Just in case I ran into a deck with lots of defenders, I figured a couple of Ogre Gatecrashers might be usefull.
Next, I just added some nice BRG cards, like Hit//Run and a single Sek'kuar, Deathkeeper. Also added Grim Harvest (I'm a fan, what can I say).
And Goblin Cohort just fitted the theme

Which creature do you think would combine well with Oni of Wild Places? What would change? Suggestions? Do I need more mid-range creature? More removal?
