Contrary to popular belief, Dash is tempo in nature. These deck differ from RDW since the creature doesn't always stick around, and we need quite a bit of mana to play our best. The best choice is tempo-play; ping and remove any early threat with a bunch of removal until we got enough mana to RAIN DOWN THE DASH ARMY!!

1-Drop

• Mardu Shadowspear: Early swinger to ping the opponent. Can also be relevant late game if Ambuscade Shaman is in play due to its cheap dash cost

• Wild Slash: Get rid of any early annoyance that hit the field

2-Drop

• Mardu Scout: Medium hitter. Can act as a Lightning Striket in Turn 2 if the coast is clear(which is the case most of time)

• Lightning Strike + Ultimate Price: R to the E to the M to the O to the V to the A to the L!! Removal!!. Maintain the board early game

3-Drop

• Ambuscade Shaman: Make dash become DASH by making our creature bigger

• Mardu Strike Leader: Overall great card. The additional token helps board presence. Also take some of the heat off of Ambuscade Shaman and Warbringer

• Kolaghan's Command: A dang great card. Can be used to refuel our hand, disrupting the opponent, low removal, or even a niche artifact destroyer

4-Drop

• Goblin Heelcutter: Dashing this guy really mess up the opponent's plan. Disable their essential blocker and swing to your favor. Also work as a great standalone on turn 3

• Warbringer : The Santa of the deck. Giving everyone a christmast discount so they can hit the field cheaper. A great card all around

Sideboard

Mainly sideboard against the most used meta, which is Esper Dragons, Abzan, RDW, and UB Control
