Midrange land destruction! Ramp with the dorks and hopefully start destroying land early and continuously, removing any creatures that get by with direct damage as you go. To seal the deal, the Ember Swallowers and the Stormbreath Dragon can do some serious damage (especially with the help of Ghor-Clan Rampagers), both of which also have very useful and relevant monstrous abilities. Xenagos, the Reveler is great for mana when you've destroyed your own, and the monstrous abilities when you need extra, or he's just good for the aggro if you're OK on mana.

Edit

I've been playing an only slightly modified version of this deck and I'm loving it. I've consistently taken down quite a variety of well-put-together decks and have only lost only one match (a match being best 2 out of 3), to a Rakdos Aggro deck, after which I added some more direct damage, and will try again soon. I think this one is a keeper!

The one card I'm not sold on is the Burning-Tree Emissary. I feel like the mana goes to waste more often than not, and there's probably a better substitute here. Maybe Rakdos Shred-Freak? Or perhaps Chandra's Phoenix? Or something else entirely. If you have any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. :)
