The plan, approximately:

• Turn 2: Impact Tremors
• Turn 3: mana ramp.
• Turn 4: Blaze Commando
• Turn 5: Lava Dart , Lava Dart , Gut Shot , Grapeshot x4. Put 14 hasty soldiers into play, impact tremors deals 14 damage to each opponent. Rally the Peasants , attack for 49.

The only thing better than burn is getting a free hasty creature horde with your burn. So the deck is about 80% burn (focused on getting multiple triggers off Blaze Commando ), and 20% creature buffs so that the hasty little bastards can properly annihilate someone.

It runs out of gas very easily, but it's a pretty severe threat in the meantime.

Cards that can get multiple triggers of Blaze Commando:

• Sarkhan's Rage
• Magma Burst
• Barbed Lightning
• Grapeshot
• Scattershot
• Pyromatics
• Burn Trail (works extra well with Rally the Righteous or War Flare )
• Staggershock (if you're patient and the game hasn't already ended)
• Flashback and Retrace are OP.
