The Butcher's and the Horde

Butcher of the Horde has great synergy with Goblin Rabblemaster and Brimaz, King of Oreskos

This a mid-rangy deck to try and utulilze the butcher's abilities and use removal and hand disruption to clear the path for threats.

Creatures:

Butcher of the Horde : This card is basically Desecration Demon with no down side. And works really well on it's own and with rabblemasters

Goblin Rabblemaster: The card that can win the game on it's own unchecked. 1, 6, 8, 10, damage after four turns

Stormbreath Dragon: This card is too good to not play in some cases it's better than sarkhan simply because of the pro-white ability

Brimaz, King of Oreskos: He's a token engine and can take over the game left unchecked

Planeswalkers:

Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker: Replaces stormbreath dragon to some extent. Can kill a lot of the annoying cards of the format or attack Nissa, Worldwaker for 4 damage and get her off the board.

Sorin, Solemn Visitor: I've jumped on the sorin train. This card works really well with rabblemaster and the other creatures in the deck and helps you stabilize with the much needed lifelink

Removal:

Hero's Downfall: I don't really have to explain this

Lightning Strike: can kill something early or finish the game over the top

Crackling Doom: this is probably going to become my favorite card sac your largest creature and dome you two

Thoughtseize: speaks for itself

Despise : This format is going to be very creature and planeswalker heavy and this is the perfect answer

sideboard: No idea what this should look like as of right now.

There's definitely going to be aggro decks hence the Drown in Sorrow

Elspeth, Sun's Champion helps for big creature based match-ups and control match-ups

i'm playtesting the week of 9/22 so i'll see how it evolves from there.
