Pretty good deck, but a little weak to Memoricide.

Pretty schweet, but where's the Thoughtweft Trio? Definitely worth looking into, and cheap as heck with a Ballyrush Banneret out anyway.
I love it! I spent a long time debating about whether or not to make my version of this mono red or R/W. After looking at this, I almost regret my decision to go mono red. Feel free to check my version out and comment! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=125590
Nice! I had a Wild Pair deck once too, it played Nacatyl War-Pride and fished up Lovisa Coldeyes. The rest of the deck was utility (removal, mana ramp, etc.) and other 3/3 Warriors, Berserkers, and Barbarians. Anyway enough about me, I really enjoyed the G/W approach you took.
No, but it has life gain. I'm assuming that a 25 damage Hurricane/Squall line will kill 3 out of the 4 players in the 2v2, but that since this deck's teammate will live, the team wins.
Sorry, couldn't help but poke fun. In all seriousness, throw in some lands and I think this deck has potential to be neato.
Well it looks like fun, but there be no lands! D: I like lands... why no lands? Did your friends play one too many Armageddon on you?
Ordering 4x Bottled Cloister for this deck, since I can't play anything on the opponent's turn anyway. Plus, this is card draw during the upkeep step, and not my draw step XD
I really like Zombie Infestation/Tortured Existence as a discard engine. Well put together! Check my madness deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=130005
Seems pretty interesting, making yourself a bad target with Propaganda, and punishing players with Soul Barrier and Rhystic Study. I must ask, why have 2 Cognivore if you have 0 instants? Are you counting on your opponents to beef up your dude?
Made a minor edit after I realized how supremely amazing Amulet of Vigor is, the deck now contains 4.
Have you given any thoughts to Swarmyard? The ability to regenerate your dudes can be pretty handy.
Perhaps add in Indomitable Archangel? That way your Platinum Angel is not only indestructible, but untargetable by any of M:TG's assorted nastiness.
A friend of mine has a Relentless Rats deck, and it's rather similar to yours. He runs into one issue a lot though, what happens if someone has some silly Stasis combo, or Teferi's Moat, etc. that keeps him from attacking? The answer: Altar of Dementia. Instead of swinging for obscene damage, you instead mill obscene amounts of cards. Just something to think about :)
The only thing I worry about is how much you'll end up hurting yourself with Spiteful Visions, especially considering you don't seem to do much in the way of control. Your opponent gets tons of extra cards, can play them freely (you can't counter them), and you're also hurting yourself. Don't get me wrong, the deck looks like a blast, but I think that it's too much of a double-edged sword.
If you feel like you need more coin flips, perhaps Karplusan Minotaur? It looks like you probably have plenty of opportunities to flip coins, but just thought I'd share.
How do you feel about Spiteful Visions? I know it hurts you also, but it goes right up this deck's alley.
Ooh those would be really good in this deck. I was trying to stick with cards from Coldsnap onward, but a set of Entomb may just be worth bending that rule. Thanks!
