Deck discussion for Legacy Affinity Aggro

As someone who just spent the past week fooling around with affinity decks, I feel I could be of assistance. First of all, Inkmoth Nexus is just awful. It's the only card you have with infect, so infect becomes weaker than actual damage. DotV+Ravager can still work, but DotV is useless without Ravager, and there are more consistent ways to win. I'm personally not a fan of Ravager at all, but some people are and to each his own, I just don't like the anti-synergy it has with Cranial Plating. Let's get to the manabase. Typically, affinity decks will use Darksteel Citadel as a pseudo-basic. Also, Ancient Tomb is useful as an accelerant and Glimmervoid gives us a 5C source. Since these aren't artifacts, you typically don't want more than 2-3 of them, but they normally help, especially against Null Rod. Also, Vault Skirge is a must. It pays for itself in 2 attacks, and is just ridiculous with plating. Finally, a lot of people like Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Master of Etherium as win conditions. I'm personally not a fan of either, but Tezz is a "Next turn I win" button, and MoE is ridiculously huge for 3 mana and buffs all your other guys.

Originally I was using said cards but was told to try these and see how they work. Im going to try this build friday at my fnm and see how it goes. We have a pretty solid legacy meta right now so im going to see how this works and go back to my original if it doesn't

Remove the nexus and add Ancient Tomb and Glimmervoid, besides, Vaut Skirge in turn one is ideal, Frogmite was only good in the constructed block that Affnitiy was. Tezzeret would win the matches that you cannot win with your creatures, in any case, his last ability is great and you could run him in turn 2 if you use Ancient Tomb.
