Aggro-out. Enough said. With the double strike, pumps, haste and a minimum number of tapped lands, this deck hits hard, faster than pretty much everything but mono red. I won my match against Mardu Dragons simply because the opponent played so many tapped lands--and got a bit color-screwed, always a possibility when playing three colors with no ramp. A few notes:- Despite the number of one-drop creatures, do not keep single-land hands, even if you have a Temple.- Windstorm was awesome against Dragons. Since you are the faster deck, you can sometimes afford a hit from say, a Thunderbreak Regent if you believe the opponent will follow up with a second TR or Stormbreath Dragon. This of course then allows you to two-for-one him.- Gather Courage stays in most games, except against the most removal-heavy decks. It's cheap, whereas Dromoka's Command is not. You are usually trying to win the race, which Courage allows you to do (especially when aimed at a double-striker). It also stays in against red aggro to cancel out a Wild Slash or Lightning Strike.- I was happy with Silkwrap, even playing against decks with Dromoka's Command. At worst, it removes a blocker for a turn. At best, it gets rid of Hangarback Walker for good. And it's fairly permanent removal against Abzan Control, which doesn't run a playset of Command. You still have targets (Den Pro or Nissa pre-flip).- Don't forget your Mardu Woe-Reaper exile triggers, when he or another warrior enters the field. The lifegain is key vs. Mono red, and throughout the day I had good targets to exile. Dragon decks utilize Haven to bring back their creatures, obviously Deathmist Raptor recurs, and Siege Rhino is often the control player's choice when flipping Den Pro.- Elspeth was nigh-impossible to beat. I've beaten Abzan Control before, but when the player didn't resolve the planeswalker. Thus the inclusion of the second Glare of Heresy. Obviously it also takes care of Seige Rhino, which you can only ram your creatures into so many times before you fall behind.Thanks for looking. Any comments, questions or suggestions are welcome.

Oh, haha. Yeah. I just figured I'd end the post with that. I've only used it in the PPTQ and two small store tourneys. So at this point the sample size is still small.
