I guess this would be the place to ask for suggestions!

I made this deck a few months back because I thought it would be fun to make a deck centered around Gibbering Descent. After making and playing it I realized that Gibbering Descent was the most useless card in the deck aside from very rare occurrences where it actually won me games. So... I went looking for a replacement. I'm leaning towards Quest for the Nihil Stone (which, after tests, does slightly less damage than The Rack, but still useful), Liliana's Caress or Lightning Bolt. However, given that this IS in fact casual, I'm looking for something FUN like Gibbering Descent kind of was.

What does everyone think?

Creatures:
4x Oona's Prowler
4x Nyxathid
4x Rakdos Augermage

Artifact/Enchantments:
4x The Rack
3x Gibbering Descent

Spells:
4x Inquisition of Kozilek
4x Hymn to Tourach
3x Blightning
4x Dark Ritual
4x Terminate

Lands:
8x Swamp
3x Mountain
4x Blackcleave Cliffs
4x Graven Cairns
3x Lavaclaw Reaches

Deck MVPs: The Rack, Nyxathid, Terminate

I think Bottomless Pit is really better than Descent, as can be played turn 1 off a Ritual.You don't really need the Hellbent thing as you should probably play everything you topdeck. Also Nezumi Shortfang is good in these kind of deck, as it gives you The Rack 5-6. They can go in the place of Rakdos wich is really slow at 3cc. I'd fit some Bloodstained Mires, too.

Storm World is another alternative to the rack.

It also wins pimp wars.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll definitely toy around with those cards and see which fits best. Also, forgot to mention that I run a pair of Cabal Pit in place of 2 basic lands, so the Bottomless Pit could actually work really nice.

Mires would be nice...
