Hi folks!

I was trying to put together this aggro build hoping to create a deck that consistently finishes the game turn 4/5/6. The deck builds around early pressure one drops such as Footlight Fiend and Fanatical Firebrand into highly synergetic (hasty) two drops ( Fireblade Artist , Cruel Celebrant , Hero of Precinct One and Dreadhorde Butcher ). The deck gains extra momentum turns 3 and 4 with cards like Judith, the Scourge Diva , Heroic Reinforcements and even puts Teysa Karlov to good use. Heartfire is supposed to finish the job and provides plenty of synergy with the remaining cards in the deck, besides bringing the last 4 damage needed to finish the job. Instead of a fourth copy of Heroic Reinforcements I wanted to include Unbreakable Formation to have some counter to board wipes.

I haven´t yet decided on the sideboard but I am very likely to include Duress against cry of the canarium and Theater of Horrors against control matchups and also theses cards from the maybeboard: Mortify , Tibalt, Rakish Instigator , Command the Dreadhorde , angrath´s rampage, The Elderspell , God-Eternal Bontu and a fourth copy of Heroic Reinforcements .

I want to bring this deck to my first MCQ, so any advie will be highly appreciated. What would be your ideas for sideboarding considering the current metagame? I think the mana base should be alright but let me know if you think otherwise. Also I am wondering if the deck might use some copies of Skewer the Critics in order to finish the job more consistently (or even other spells that I am not thinking of right now). What about pump spells?

Thank you very much!
