Alright, so again, this will depend on the level of competition at your local FNM.

But if you want to be competitive, a LOT of the deck as it currently sits will have to go. 

One thing to remember is that the most consistent decks have 3-4 of most cards because that increases the consistency with which they'll draw them.  As such, you'll want 3-4 copies of the cards you identify as being best.

The next question is which of the three major archetypes you'll want to play.  Among your choices are aggro, where you are just trying to kill the opponent faster than they have a chance to respond; mid-range, where you tend to stall just a little bit and end up playing some major creatures/spells that ultimately just put the game out of reach; or control, where you tend to use most of your efforts to clear the board or otherwise to "control" the flow of the game until you ultimately drop a single threat that just wins the game.  Aggro is naturally the fastest type of deck, but one which either wins big or goes down in flames (there are a lot of times where an aggro deck just isn't going to get there and you have to sit there watching helplessly).  Mid-range is arguably the most versatile, but frequently loses out to control matchups as they're both trying to slow the game down a bit.  Control is grindy, there's no better way to put it - these are the decks that often go to time during rounds or otherwise take 15-25 turns to win games.

With 4x Rakdos Cackler you have the startings of an aggro build, but I'll let you think over which archetype you want to run before delving too much into specific card choices.
