This tribal-ish/semi-agressive deck get's it's base strength from Chief of the Scale and especially Chief of the Edge who's base stats are very good for their many cost, and also have the benefit of buffing the many other warriors in this deck. (Where a buffed +1/+0 Grim Haruspex, can buff a Heir of the Wilds wishfull thinking i know :p ). But just good stats on creatures ofcourse isn't enough and thats where, the Chiefs again bring alot of devotion for a card like Athreos, God of Passage. These cards in addition to (Bloodsoaked Champion) and Heir of the Wilds all have a 2 or less mana cost. That's where another key cards comes in Tethmos High Priest who makes sure that cards like these can return to the battlefield. Securing more boardcontroll and at the same time helping Athreos, God of Passage to make even more sure of board controll! Cards comming naturally with aiming to profit for many creatures on the board are Spear of Heliod and (Sorin, Solemn Visitor), that buff cards as they hit the field, to make them scarier and more likely to deal 3 damage with Athreos. ( Abzan Ascendancy )

Other cards:

Grim Haruspex is mainly for card draw where Abzan Charm is mainly for dealing with scary creatures my opponent might play.

Combat tricks: Gods Willing / Defiant Strike (who is also a great (and cheap) card to thin out my deck). And activates Tethmos High Priest

I agree that i've originally put to many lands in my deck, in consideration of drewmighty's and Xydroth's comment i've removed one Swamp. It's been replaced by an additional Athreos, God of Passage, since it's just too good in this deck. Sunblade Elf, could indeed be a good addition since it can block some very early aggression, and has potential to shine late game. I just can't quite figure out what cards to cut for it though.

Ps: I'd appreciate some suggestions on my sideboard to make my deck more resistant to burn decks :)
