Burn them and turn them! Rakdos deadly curses will send your creatures straight to hell, where they will wait for Liliana of the Dark Realms to call upon them.

Anger of the Gods, Hero's Downfall, Doom Blade and all the other removal keeps the board clean. When your opponent seems to be losing steam, you cast Underworld Connections to generate card advantage. That way you will never run out of removal. Also, use the time not killing creatures to remove dangerous spells before the even enter the board, in particular Rest in Peace. Play Duress/Slaughter Games to remove such abominations from the game.

Now, enter Liliana of the Dark Realms. Her ramping abilities will secure the victory, and as a bonus she can help out with removal if needed.

Victory is almost at hand. Your underworld connections has generated a Rise of the Dark Realms and Liliana has given you the mana to cast it. But your opponent has figured out your plan and refuses to put creatures on the board for you to kill. That is when you play Rakdos's Return, foring him to discard all his great creature cards, then you watch as the dead rises from their graves to tear down their old masters.

Edit

I removed 1 of the four most mana-expensive cards and added 4 diabolic tutors instead. It should improve the reliability of the deck a lot.
