My take on 8 Rack, splashing red for direct damage to close out the game. Running some creatures to keep it spicy:

Asylum Visitor is pretty strong in this deck, if unconventional. Three power trades decently and it can pressure decks that are trying to durdle or draw out of the typical 8 Rack lock. Since this deck empties the hands of both players quickly, you can get a draw on both player's turn. It's quite nice to cast it off a Liliana +1.

Temple of Malice is probably better replaced by some other rare dual land, like Blackcleave Cliffs, Dragonskull Summit or the new bicyclers. Considering they are CIPT, maybe I shouldn't run them at all, and just replace with Mutavaults.

Pack Rats in the sideboard is possibly dumb, but it is an Aggro In a Can card that can do quite well when unexpected.
