I fell in love with the Nacatl War-Pride when I saw it because it's such an interesting card that is technically unblockable but has the draw back that is quite weak. The build here is to make it come out as early as possible but also to help keep the tokens out with cards like Sundial of the Infinite and Rhys the Redeemed. Champion of Lambholt is the final piece to make all creatures unblockable which can be achieved either by just attacking with the War-Pride or having it enter on the turn of the attack with a Primal Forcemage out and then attack with War-Pride.

The mana dorks are the primary source of ramp though Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx will occasionally provide some additional help while Forbidden Orchard helps generate more tokens that must be blocked.

Cards like Echoing Courage and Primal Forcemage can help toughen up the creatures as they attack and the Bramblewood Paragon is also good for adding to damage of the Champion of Lambholt + Nacatl War-Pride combo as it involves a lot of warrior creatures entering the battlefield now with +1/+1 counters and trample.

Obsidian Battle-Axe also works for the reason stated above about the warrior subtheme. Having the War-Pride enter and gain haste and a power boost without paying an equip cost does help a lot, especially against aggressive builds.

The sideboard is there to provide removal to decks that need it and to get out the War-Pride quickly if it's required. The most notable combo in sideboard is Qasali Ambusher + Temple Garden + Windswept Heath for a turn one blocker or better yet, add a Bramblewood Paragon on turn two to block a Delver of Secrets   and survive as well as having a 3/4 on turn three to attack.
