Rakdos Dash. Do math, hit them for lots of quick damage out of nowhere. Resolve Impact Tremors to make the end come quickly for the opponent. (Not sold on the value of running that card if I'm not running Hordeling Outburst).

The premium combo/line in this deck is hitting four mana and dashing out a Warbringer and a Vaultbreaker at the same time on turn 4. It gets even better when you've landed an Ambuscade Shaman on turn 3. The deck is simple and aggressive, and aims to take advantage of the dash mechanic's synergy and take folks down before they can even have a shot at killing us.

Obviously, the mana can get better as this is only a budget deck and there are no cheap Rakdos duals other than the taplands right now. Plus, we don't want those because they slow down our curve. If you have the cash to shell out, get 4x Bloodstained Mire, 4xSmoldering Marsh, and 4x Wooded Foothills to give your manabase a big, big boost.

Other great options (if you want to spend money) include Shaman of the Great Hunt who can end up creating a lot of value. For budget and for mana reasons, though, I decided that Vaultbreaker is just a better way to get a big beater+looting all in one without going out of our way for the deck's plan. Mardu Strike Leader is also looking to me like he'll be better than Pitiless Horde , especially on the mana. Plus, he improves our odds against RDW as we can defend ourselves while dashing in for damage.
