This is literally my first foray into building a Standard deck. I have no idea if this sort of thing is being done (probably it is, because who doesn't like burn and aggro?). Basically, I think Evolve is a neat ability, and I think Burning-Tree Emissary is stupid good, so I figured I'd see what I could throw together after a quick perusal of the cards available in the format.
The basic strategy is to play a turn one Cloudfin Raptor and a turn two Burning-Tree Emissary. The mana generated by the Emissary can be used to do a few different things: play a Lightning Mauler (this will trigger another Evolve on the Raptor) Soulbonded with the Emissary to swing for 6 damage; or, play a Young Wolf and then use a burn spell to kill it, triggering Undying and Evolving the Raptor again, with the 2/2 Wolf, the 3/3, or both; or, Bloodrush the Rampager for 4 extra damage; or, of course, play any number of burn spells. Being able to chain two or more Emissaries together is obviously the ideal.
I have not played this deck in an event, so I have no idea if it's viable. Goldfishing seems to suggest the potential for pretty consistent turn four kills on the play.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome. Like I said, I don't play Standard- this is just something I threw together on a whim, and it might be completely unplayable for all I know. No sideboard yet; I'll give it some thought and put one up soonish.
