You can use Outpost Siege and if you want token and sac you can always use Goblin Rabblemaster.

WarCarsen Thanks for your advice, it is much appreciated. I 've got mixed feelings about Outpost Siege and i cannot afford Goblin Rabblemaster at the moment .Would be nice to have some though.

+1 I like it. I have something similar going on and which works quite well. Have you playtested it? It seems that, with a full 8 creatures coming back from the grave (potentially), Murderous Cut might not be the most efficient killing card here.

I do like the combo Flamewake Phoenix + Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker and Flamewake Phoenix + Shaman of the Great Hunt . I hope to run them in my Temur deck... when I get those cards.

Spinifex thanks for your reply.The basic idea i would like to note started with Butcher of the Horde + Flamewake Phoenix .

Murderous Cut has been bothering me for a bit but i am not sure what to replace it with . 1 Utter End could maybe do the job. Any ideas are welcome!:D

Quite similar to a deck that I'm playing : Heavy Metal, Redux. Mine uses Purphoros, God of the Forge, along with sac outlets and recurring creatures to create an impressive long game, give that it's an aggro style deck. Murderous Cut is still worth playing. You have instants and sorceries, plus fetches, that can be used to fuel it. And if you have to pay three mana for it, that's still solid value. The only thing that it feels like you might be missing is Goblin Rabblemaster. That card is just way too good to not play.

@ Chad-Guy ,unfortunately i cannot afford Goblin Rabblemaster so i tried to find something else viable to replace him!!!!.As for Murderous Cut , Valorous Stance seems slightly better as it does not need cards to be delved and it can save your butchers,sarkhan etc Thanks for your comment,i will check your deck too :)

@ panic48 I dont believe these changes would allow the deck to be of standard legality! :) Your advice is appreciated though:)

You could try a couple Purphoros, God of the Forge. My deck plays a lot of the same creatures as yours, and the god gives you some great long-game options. Plus, the interaction of Butcher of the Horde + Flamewake Phoenix with a Purphoros in play? Enter combat, take two damage for every red mana I can produce? Even with just a Bloodsoaked Champion you're looking at two damage for every 1B you can produce. It's pretty wicked. And his damage can be re-directed to walkers, which makes them easier to deal with.

Hey I would maybe add some Hordeling Outburst and/or Raise the Alarm to make this kind of like a Mardu tokens build? The synergies with butcher are really great. I love the Flamewake Phoenix and Bloodsoaked Champion synergies with butcher. I'm not so sure that you have enough Mountains for Chained to the Rocks to be effective and smooth all of the time. Ashcloud Phoenix is a little slow for this buld, and will just die to removal before it has a chance to pack a punch.

Suggestions:+3 Hordeling Outburst-3 Chained to the Rocks-2 Ashcloud Phoenix+2 Raise the Alarm

@pikatrue Hey,thanks for your advice!

I wouldn't want this deck to rely on token strategies because of how terrifying the removal atm is and because the list would have to completely change adding for example Brutal Hordechief.

Ashcloud Phoenix is indeed a little slow but it is a card to bring you back Flamewake Phoenix and can keep the theme of antiremoval creatures.One of this card's banes Abzan Charm is almost worth the trade because you force your opponents to keep it in the deck after game one and deny their draws ,although i'm not entirely sure this is worth it.

Chained to the Rocks feels worth keeping,but your comment is on point .Maybe i have to add 1-2 mountain or remove 1 of em.Thanks again!
