Deck Description

"On Dash-er, on Heelcutter, on PITILESS HORDE!
To the top of the deck, to the top of the wall
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!" - Santa Khan

How to Play

STRATEGERY I USE (in no particular order):

1. Warbringer is king. It might seem like this deck has too many 3-5 casting cost creatures, but lo! - his ability gives literally everyone a two-dollar discount when used to Dash! If you're worried about leaving yourself vulnerable to attack, then make sure to keep enough Land untapped so you can Dash during your opponent's attack phase (so many people forget that they can do this!)

2. If you are up against Blue, you'll need to put on your poker face in order to deal with those counter spells. It really becomes a game of attrition, as more than likely, you will have more Dashing creatures than he does counter spells. When dealing with Bullshit Blue, try to bait and switch the opponent. Get him to think you've played your "big" card... yeah, let him counter it, and then, just as a smirk rises up his face... bring out Kolaghan!

OR:

3. My favorite creature combo: Flamerush Rider + Ambuscade Shaman. Giving a +2/+2 bonus to a clone of a creature that gives +2/+2 to another creature is always satisfying. But it's not a rewarding as...

4. Impact Tremors + Outpost Siege. Impact Tremors plinks ALL opponents for 1 plinkeroo for EVERY creature you summon onto the battlefield, while Outpost Siege's "Dragons" option hits them for 1 every time they leave the battlefield. Do you see how powerful this can be? Imagine having just two of each in play and then dashing 3 creatures IN and OUT for a whopping 12 damage... in one round... not including whatever damage they inflicted to the opponent minus the enchantments!

5. Do what you can to get your hands on at least 1 Staff of Nin and 1 Geosurge (hopefully you pull a Demonic Tutor for this purpose). Geosurge is a win-win, because even if you can't get a hold of the Staff of Trent Reznor, you can use all that juicy mana to dash the hell out of your opponent, even without the Warbringer. Also, the Staff makes excellent fodder when discarding cards after playing Faithless Looting.

6. Other dashing dupes brought to you by Flamerush Rider:

Flamerush Rider + Mardu Strike Leader - DOUBLE ZOMBIES!

Flamerush Rider + Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury - DOUBLE 4/5 Flying!

Flamerush Rider + Pitiless Horde - 10 DAMAGE!!!

6. I just drummed up a quick sideboard of mostly red spells that you could add to this deck to keep your opponent defenseless while slamming him/her with dashing creatures. You could probably add some enchantment/artifact destroyers. I dunno, that's entirely up to you. :)

Let me know in the comments what smexy dash combos or deck mods you've come up with! Happy experimenting!
