First of all listen to to get you amped.

Obviously the main goal of the deck is to leverage Fynn, the Fangbearer double poison counters from deathtouch creatures. Who really cares about life anyway when you have poison running through your veins!

Starting Strategy

Since Fynn, the Fangbearer mana cost is so low, you'll want to get him out with a bunch of low cost monsters to maximize poison counters early in the game, before anyone has a chance to block. If you get lucky enough to get In Search of Greatness out on the table early as well this can help cast more expensive (3+ ) mana cost monsters for free. Also helps you rearrange your deck a bit with the scry ability.

If luck goes your way you should be able to play some low cost (<2 ) deathtouch + infect creatures, and save the mana for playing and equipping items such as Prowler's Helm , Viridian Longbow and Suspicious Bookcase that buff and get damage through directly to the player, and might want to save Whispersilk Cloak or Blanchwood Armor to protect your commander. Also some creatures such as Champion of Lambholt that is very useful ;)

Ramps include Kodama's Reach / Nissa's Pilgrimage / Harvest Season and draw cards - Toski, Bearer of Secrets Beast Whisperer are great ones.

Also remember there are quite a few cards that add deathtouch to creatures that don't already have it, and some trample + deal damage to target (like Nature's Way ) that help clear the way for you.

Once you get some poison counters on your opponent take advantage of proliferate spells from cards like Planewide Celebration and Maulfist Revolutionary

Endgame Strategy

1. The first rule of fight club is Proliferate
2. The second rule of fight club is Proliferate
3. If you haven't won the game yet, you might want to throw some big trample damage out Overrun + Phyrexian Hydra or else (and more preferable) go wide with Phyrexian Swarmlord or Hornet Queen . Then throw Aspect of Hydra or Overrun together with Ram Through and take it home.

Trying to keep this deck affordable (~ $100 to $150), but this deck is ever-evolving so I'm open to suggestions.
