What I'm doing is taking out the dreadbore for two hero's downfall exava is in in there with hellhole flailer and rakdos I'm also thinking of putting in hammer of purphoros but as my deck is now it has won me a some FNM

Desecration Demon is a good card, but I'm not sure he fits in this deck considering he doesn't do anything when he resolves. What happens if you play him and then your opponent casts a Supreme Verdict the very next turn? Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch , another 4-drop, fits because she can at least get in for 4 damage before the verdict.
I also think you need some more lands in your deck. If your curve topped out at three then 19 lands might be okay, but with six 4-drops that just seems dangerous - especially with three Hammer of Purphoros . In any case, I'd recommend going 8 Mountain and 9 Swamp if you're going to stay at 19 lands.

Okay, but at 19 lands you must be very fortunate to be curving out on Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch on a regular basis. And I still don't see where Desecration Demon fits in if your games typically go the way you described (or are at least meant to go that way). He seems like much more of a midrange card than an aggro card, and your deck seems like much more of an aggro deck than a midrange deck.
And my mistake. I thought you were running 4 Exava.

@ Rargonaut; I disagree about switching Gore-House Chainwalker in for Spike Jester because after unleash they'll have the same power, but gore house won't be able to block if needed for whatever reason. I think a quick hit is better in this case. also, I dont think exava even belongs in this deck. a player would do better in my honest opinion to just put in 2 more Lightning Strike s and an extra land, maybe Rakdos Guildgate
