Yah, trespasser isn't very good. Maybe you want terminate instead.

i looked at terminate but soon they will be out of extended so i was like no point the investment. i agree with the blood crypt idea. As for crappy cards um i agree lots of the cards aint good expecial when versing stuff like faeries. Um thats why i asked for suggestions. Um i really like the idea of hellbent but yeah what do u do what such a deck like this? so far all hellbent decks have been horrible and i am merely trying to make it something a bit more within the extended realm. Once again if you have any ideas please post. I am more than interested.

how can a deck that relies on having no cards in hand be good?

you might be better off not going the hellbent route.

It may be better to play dark confidant, burn, and finishers.
There are a few sub-par cards in your deck already:
trespasser, jaya, anthem, taste, infernal, and demonfire could use more efficient replacements. I would also like to see you make the deck more consistant. The numbers just don't seem right with 2's and 3's.

I played something similar when it was still in T2. Using rakdos augermage, shadow guildmage, dark confidant, rakdos guildmage, I also splashed for Tarmo (since I owned them).

Other suggestions or things that need fixing:
- there are no sac lands (bloodstained mire at least)
- 22 land may not be enough

Dont try to make decks on your own in formats you have no idea about. And if the deck is supposed to be CASUAL, then asking ppl to help you with it makes it no longer casual, but competetive.
