Simply awesome build ! You have all the better characteristics of a Relentless Rat deck - well... those I'm semi-familiar with, but yours stand out from a crowd. Most RR decks I've seen has only basic lands and the somewhat rest are Rats.
If you wan't to make it faster, I'd suggest "Heartless Summoning" .. Yeah, I know... a weird suggestion, but if you can make so that you draw/tutor "Heartless" your Priest of Gix becomes a Dark Ritual Sorcery, more mana for more creatures.
WATCH out for 'Surgical Extraction' and 'Extirpate' they will shut you down - I don't know how to bypass those cards, sorry... :-/

Heartless Summoning is cool, perhaps more so in a Zombie deck which I may build. I play this deck often against my Cousin and usually come out on top. Yes, Sergical Extraction and Extripate screew this quite a bit but I haven't encountered them often.

Comment appreciated Phoenix, thanx.

No problemo =)
A Turn 1 Aether Vial could also prove useful, but I fear it means more money 'out the window' - Locket of Yesterdays can be found for cheap and could benefit with just the right amount of surplus mana - Enough for you to own the field quicker.

Hmm, does using Aether Vials ability count as a cast? Like, can that be countered by an instant Counter Spell? If not, this ability would be fantastic against Control decks...

I will throw in a Locket of Yesterdays into a play test and see what happens. It could be handy should a Destroy all Creatures wipe out half my Rats.

Thanx again for the tips.

They would have to counter Aether Vial when its on the stack. If they don't, you can even put creatures into play on opponents turn ! In short, the creature card you put into play cannot be countered.

Just remember that the Locket only grants colorless mana-reduction =)

You're welcome =D
