Consider that the 1 urborg may actually give your opponent the swamp they need also. In a mono-black deck you should be safe leaving it out. I'd be interested to know if the playtesting shows that no urborg is actually worse.

Although thoughtseize is a very powerful card I've been struggling with whether to include it in my aggro decks or not. I think the lost turn on making another creature to turn sideways may not be worth it. You have the removal for later game blockers. Maybe replace with more removal or even more beneficial, some sort of instant damage pump.Brimaz is expensive for those not trying to spend alot but an awesome card.Replace the Jeskai Student for Seeker of the Way. Jeskai Student being a 1/3 who can pump to 2/4 is a blocker and a control creature. Seeker of the Way is same mana cost 2/2 pump to 3/3 with lifelink. Much better imo.Scry lands specifically are more for control decks where they care more about their next card. If you truly want aggro I would use fetchlands. Because there are not fetchlands for orzhoz though it would be better to drop your lifegain lands first even for just straightup swamps and plains. That's really your call but both types will slow down your aggro and if you're trying to win by turn 4, maybe a 5 push tops those lands could hose you bad. I would use all swamps and plains in this deck, maybe a few bloodstained mires for deck thinning.I'd only run 2 athreos and 2 sorins...i never do more of a 2 of on stuff like that...they don't really feed "aggro" per se. With the extra card space add a few more 2 drops as your mana curve is not really in line.Your sideboard should be cards that are deck or card specific. You should know why you have each card in your sideboard and what card you would remove to put it in your deck. I don't ever put cards in a sideboard that would just be fun or make my aggro even stronger (i.e. Ajani Steadfast). I'm not sure if that's what was planned here or not. If so please elaborate. If not, think that way. Either, what cards do I need against cards I know will be played (i.e. Hero's downfall for Sarkhan / Stormbreath dragon) or make a sideboard that shifts your deck from aggro to say mid-control. I personally use sideboards for cards I expect others to play.
I would recommend trying to fit war-name aspirant into this deck. It is basically a borderlands marauder that doesn't have to attack to get the +2/0. Maybe replace the hordeling outburst. I've also never been a fan of eidolon of the great revel. I know it's been tested and people say it's really nice but i've always done fine without it. I like that you included valley dasher as I think that new card is a not as awesome ash zealot but still pretty good.
This was a shell test for post khans necrumlsice. I made some of the cards proxies and ran a bunch of tests with it. It faired OK but not as powerful as I had hoped. A few times I had both the fleece-ram and the pridemates out, that is a ridiculous combo. There may be potential to morph this deck into an abzan deck though. There are cards that could be removed to drive the price down fast (i.e. elspeth and thoughtseize). I was waiting to see if there was anything good to add to this to make it OP from khans. Sadly I have abandoned this idea. P.S. - the expensive cards aren't so hard to get. Make a cheap red deck wins and start winning FNM's. Soon you can trade your winnings or use your instore credits for what you need. :)
