Strengths

• fast - against the turtle or non-creature builds, it can theoretically win on turn 2, wins occasionally on turn 3 (about 35% of games), and rather consistantly on turn 4
• easy to pick up
• great synergy between many cards, making for very dynamic and fun gameplay
• lots of playable hands, lots of great topdecks
• you either win fast or lose fast

Weaknesses

• is very weak against mass damage (and obviously mass removal)
• mulligans well the first time, but becomes continually worse, considering that you want to throw your entire hand on the board
• disadvantaged in the mid game, and unlikely to do all that much later on unless a miracle happens and you draw Reforge the Soul at the right time
• you either win fast or lose fast

Synergy Examples

• Burning-Tree Emissary + Simian Spirit Guide (allowing for the rest of this list to be played T1)
• Burning-Tree Emissary + Voltaic Brawler
• Burning-Tree Emissary + Lightning Mauler
• Burning-Tree Emissary + Reckless Bushwhacker (works with up to four Emissaries)
• Burning-Tree Emissary + Goblin Guide + Rancor
• Lightning Mauler + Vexing Devil , Reckless Bushwhacker + Vexing Devil

Thanks in advance for help and suggestions!
