Deck Description

It's tokens with more fuck you.

How to Play

Burn at the Stake is your trump card. Almost no one sees the 9, 12, 15, 18, or 24 damage that comes out at their face when you have 3 or more creatures/tokens and/or a Chandra on the board. Try to hold back the child like glee when it steals a game for you. Otherwise this is largely a token control deck.

Send a token or two into the red zone when you can get some ticks of their health, but don't be too aggressive vs decks that contain haste creatures. Looking at you Aristocrat. Burn away problem creatures while you try to build a board of 3+ creatures. Pikes can turn your 1/1's into 5+/1 First strikers. A flying spirit token can put the game on a clock real fast if you've got 5+ instants/sorceries in the yard. This deck plays very much like the card Fact or Fiction. It is mostly about convincing them you care about a particular strategy before you blow them out of the water with a BotS or just beat them to death with a Pike'd token. It takes a while to get used to playing it, but it does have the easiness of choosing whether to mulligan being based upon how many lands you have in your hand (2-3 preferably). The only other rule for mulligans is that you do not keep a hand of 3 M13 Dual Lands. You mulligan that hand. No, I do not care what else is in it. Trust me. Drop that down the dark hole of lost hands.

Against aggro:Play like a control deck and burn them out (metaphorically and literally.). Once they are stalled you can slowly beat them down until a stake or burn to the face takes them out. Sideboard: Zombies - Purify the grave instead of Chandra(she eats it too fast) and maybe the curse of echoes if you are confident about slowing them down /being balsy.

Against Mid-range: Fatties midrange (>3 toughness) is a problem. The Side Board is largely to combat that, but it's not great. If the creatures are smaller (<=3 toughness) then you'll have a happier time. Naya might be your biggest enemy. Pikes are your friends here. Sideboard:Mizzium Mortars, Zealous conscripts (Why yes, your double striking thragtusk does look lovely), and Oblivion Rings. Against Reanimator you go Conscipts, Oblivion rings and Purify the Grave . Keep the white open when they could hit 4 mana and onward from there, and keep white open even if you don't have PtG. You might be able to bluff out a mistake.

Against Control: Go aggressive. You don't generally need to burn out their creatures, so just burn them in the face. Chandra is a champ in this match up. Protect her. If you don't need to protect Chandra, use Izzet charms to dig deeper for more burn or lands. Side board: Curse of Echoes (yay, no counterspells for you! Sphinx's revelation for everyone! hurray!), Zealous conscripts (Tamiyo Ulti-jacks are the best thing ever), Krenko, Mob Boss, and Oblivion Rings.
