So I took this deck to FNM and found that it ran pretty well against the mono-red aggro and midrange decks that comprised most of the field. The main strategy is to either stall till stormbreath/ kolaghan or to overrun them with goblins early. The sideboard is then mostly designed to swap into control by removing Battle brawlers and a couple rabble or hordling and putting in more removal and whips along with mogis if they rely on 1 big creature.

Just wanted to get other peoples opinions on anything i could change to improve the deck or just thoughts in general.

So I took a revised version of this deck (replacing the 2 Erebos with 2 Silence the believers) and went 2-1-1 coming 5th out of 14

First round was against a sultai control, I won 2-0 by gassing him out of the games using storm breaths and rabblemasters along sarkhan and chandra post board

Second round was a varient of blue black control with very few win cons (i think it was 2 ugin, 1 suligar) we drew after two long games, won my match by gassing him out same as vs sultai but lost the second to suligar, then ran out of time in the third game

Third round was vs red white aggro and I managed to win 2-0 by out curving well in the first game and crux of fateing around kolaghan in the second match

The fourth round was a 0-2 loss to abzan aggro, this deck continues to struggle against abzan aggro as it can't seem to build enough board presence in the first match not to just get over-run and the second game i got stuck on 3 mana and lost the game due to that.
