The only thing I worry about with your list is not having non-token creatures on the field enough to fully utilize Mardu Ascendancy. I only count 8 creatures that can trigger a T3 Ascendancy. I'm thinking that those three slots could be something else, or else you may want some more small drops.
I came up with a base black list that is in a similar vein. I wanted to maximize Butcher's ability to come down as a T4 haste, so I wanted to make sure I had something that I don't mind saccing (Goblin token or Bloodstained Champion) available by T4 every game.
[deck]
4 Tormented Hero
4 Bloodsoaked Champion
4 Chief of the Edge
4 War-name Aspirant
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Butcher of the Horde
4 Thoughtseize
3 Mardu Ascendancy
3 Mardu Charm
3 Ride Down
4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Caves of Koilos
4 Battlefield Forge
4 Mana Confluence
1 Plains
1 Mountain
4 Swamp
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
[/deck]
At it's
core, mine is base black, focusing on having black mana turn 1 every game. The base I've used provides a 90+% chance of untapped black on turn one, and 85+% chance for W/R on turn 2 to match the drops. All the non-butcher guys are warriors to be pumped with the chief.
That all said, I'm least sure of the spell suite. Thoughtseize may be a sideboard card until the meta is more defined. Ride down may be too rough on the mana, but I like it for killing courser and smashing for a million. I haven't been able to test at all since I predominantly play on MTGO, but I thought it was at least worth throwing out there to see what others think.
