What can I do to make it better?

I know I could go more streamline of just going Goyf and Togg but I like the idea of the more aggro version. Is it feasible?

Well, this looks like a fairly redarded list to me (in a positive way). I do think that more discard outlets are mandatory. Something like Survival, which is stupid with Arrogant Wurm (2GG: 5/5 trampler with psudo-flash that says: Search your library for a Tarmo is just sick).

EDIT: Psychatod is just bad. Would you be so kind as to replace it with something else? Perhaps Aquamobea/ Survival?

Looks pretty weak.

[arrogant wurm is 4/4, not 5/5 as I know)]

Tog can be replaced with infestation. But it wants more LftL/squee.
Survival has the same problem: it needs some utility which make the deck more narrow. However I like each turn arrogant + random number of rootwallas.
Note that you have to make sure you can play disruption and aggro part the same game, not to choose "one gameplan among two". So if you don't run moxen, discard is really necessary as disruption turn one, before you would cast goyf, grel or [what?]. I saw that proven list (extended; I'm not sure about legacy) always use moxen.
Another note: you haven't as much things to discard as blitz demands. If you want more aggro version, add moxen, rancor and rootwalla.

I think you have to decide what strategy you want: more aggro or with more mid- and late-game advantage, which means discard for first turns then big beaters supported by waste-lock or just their increasing number. Or may be another one that I missed.

If you're gonna play black I would throw in some tombstalkers.

I was always very exited about Oona's Prowler being an awesome discard outlet, altough it's horrible vs. Dredge. If your running intuition you should run at least 1 Deep Analysis 1 cabal Therapy 1 Genesis and maybe a roar of the wurm. Also Basking Rootwalla always was a staple in this dec for a reason but it might no longer be needed. Defenitly cut the Facts and strongly consider Life from the Loam. Psychatog should be a 2 off at most.

Oh yeah the way it is, the list is horrible and actually I don't think there's anything to be gained from playing madness, since as funny as it might sound in todays legacy Wild Mongrel and Arrogant Wurm are overcosted.
