Probably better to run two copies of goblin bombardment than bombardment/rusalka?
Really hope bushwhacker is good enough.

I find Gargadon totally unplayable garbage
It was the last card in a pack in a draft once and I was in red and I was STILL unhappy to take it
I just don't see the point of it outside of some really niche Magical Christmas Land scenarios and it suffers from a serious case of Dies-to-Removal while being nearly uncastable in the decks that might run him
Also I really like Altar of Dementia as a sac outlet. To me, mill is a sort of super counterspell/boardwipe/removal spell without ever feeling too bad for the person being milled comparatively. There have been so many times that I'm not even in a strictly mill deck that I've slotted in Altar just for value when my dudes are gonna die, and I gotta say, those times that I mill something I know would have wrecked my day make me feel pretty boss. I think it's harder to appreciate than a counterspell or a board wipe or a removal spell because your opponent didn't waste any mana on those cards you just sent to the graveyard, but when you mill your opponent's only board wipe in response to a removal spell or bin a Planeswalker you know your control opponent was dying to draw, I think there's a lot of advantage to be gained from that that goes up in value as you learn what's in your opponent's deck. I won't always maindeck Altar in a non-mill deck, but it can be sweet value imho.
Right, the danger of milling people is that for every time you mill their bomb, there's another time where you mill some inconsequential cards and get them closer to their bomb. Still, though, point taken about having a free sac outlet that does something on every activation! Is Spawning Pit at all playable, or just complete jank...?
