Non Martyr-in-hand Strategy:
T1: Lifegainer
T2: Ajani's Pridemate, enters as a 3/3
T3: Lingering Souls , swing with a 5/5 Ajani's Pridemate ( assuming your opponent has played 0 creatures, it's quite possible he is a 7/7 or an 8/8 by this point.
Martyr Strategy:
Gain life until you have Vizkopa Guildmage on board along with Martyr, activate VGM ability and pop martyr, win.
Notes:
Path for removal against game ending threats; Twin, Tarmo, etc.
Trying out Harsh Sustenance as I usually find myself with 8 or 9 little creatures that can't do much. 8 or 9 instant damage usually throws most people off-guard against this deck because they don't expect it. I like it so far, might decide to replace it later though
Dismember, good for my meta, would recommend changing this slot to fit your meta.
MATCHUPS;
Burn/Monored~
When playing against any sort of linear red strategy whether it be aggro or through burn, you should be able to laugh in the face of whoever you're playing 9/10 times.
There isn't a whole lot your opponent can do when you go T1. Warden or Attendant and T2, Martyr and pop gain 15+life.
This usually puts you so far ahead that the rest of the game is just you getting out something to win with, if you manage to pop off two martyrs and have some sort of board presence most of the time your opponent will just scoop.
Junk/Abzan
You want generally play pretty aggressively and get in the early damage while you can before they can get a board state, try to slow the board down to a state where you can deliver a big punch.
Vault of the Archangel will be your best friend in this match up.
Twin/Storm/Combo
Easily the hardest matchup because you cannot punish your opponent for playing creatures. You need to play as aggro as possible game 1 (obviously), don't play a defensive "hold for path" strategy because more often than not, your opponent will have the counter magic. Game 2 is significantly better when you can put in suppression fields/ rule of laws/rest in piece
The mainboard Dismember also helps against pestermite and what not, but don't count on it.
FUNNY NOTE FOR TWIN: IF YOU HAVE A WARDEN OR AN ATTENDANT OUT AND THEY COMBO OFF, YOU JUST GAINED A MILLION LIFE( OR LIFE EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF PESTERMITES THEY MADE)
