Rakdos Cackler in my deck?

My deck is listed below

No One Can Save You Now

I don't think you need a one drop other than Thoughtseize for your deck, but if you want one the following would all be good:

Gravecrawler

Gnat Miser

Guul Draz Assassin

I don't think your deck is aggressive enough for Rakdos Cackler though.

Problem with the seer is I don't wanna sac creatures :/

Gravecrawler is nice and I can get them easily enough, but I just don't know yet.

I love the last two options. I just am curious as to what would perform better in my deck

The problem with Guul Draz that I've run into playtesting my own MBD Modern build is that it's often hard to level him up since he doesn't level up at instant speed. I'm actually using Gnat Miser right now; he hasn't been a complete letdown, though I'd much rather have Deathrite.:/

Yeah I don't want Guul Draz for that reason. I like Gnat Miser , he seems really strong.

I have thought about him, but he is so weak, just a 2/1 with no pumpup. I like the nantuko better for being able to pump him up a lot

It has to be the 2/2 from the Innistrad block. It comes in Tapped but it's only for 1 mana. I can't remember the name and Gatherer is down, so someone will have to name it.

I've always liked Typhoid Rats and Mortician Beetle is nuts in the right build.

The rats can be underwhelming at times but they're awesome defenders.

Yeah no one want's to swing into those Typhoid Rats . Mortician Beetle is actually really good if I run the Geth's Verdict and Gatekeeper of Malakir .

I am trying to obtain Inquisition of Kozilek because I don't have enough hand control with only the Thoughtseize

I have also thought of Diregraf Ghoul but I am unsure.

I would rather have the hand control since Diregraf Ghoul get's blown up by anything essentially.

Here is the sacrificial deck based on Mortician Beetle and Gatekeeper of Malakir while still being mono black devotion.
