Tweaked and updated this quite a bit through playtesting and such at work.

The one bad tweak: Could not find shocklands, I swore I had some but I cannot find them so instead I had to switch to the ETB tapped dual lands in their place. Will replace Basic lands first as I get shocklands of course.

Basic idea is to swarm with synergistic humans. My friend convinced me that there are a few cards that are just too good to leave out despite not being human though, like Viashino Firstblade .

Champion of the Parish and Mayor of Avabruck   both synergize well with almost every other creature in the deck except hellrider which is in as a backup finishing plan. Champion of the Parish can get big fast, especially if you draw 1 or 2 Burning-Tree Emissary cards. The ideal never going to happen perfect scenario would be 3 Emissary and a Mayor on turn 2... which would get him to a 6/6 on turn 2. Normally you will get him to a 3/3 or a 4/4 on turn 2 though (1 emissary and another creature or 1 emissary and a mayor), which means unless they kill him first turn he will be ahead of the curve a fair amount of the time.

Experiment One as the other main one drop because he can stay fairly relevant in the early game where you want to use him, evolving on turns 2 and 3 usually.

Burning-Tree Emissary this is so good, with it you can play multiple creatures on turn two.

Sideboard is pretty nice I think. Boros charm to handle things like Supreme Verdict or such if you need it. Frontline Medic to help vs attacking into a deck with a lot of bloodrush or combat tricks. Hellrider if you need a finisher to burn out an opponent later Fiend Hunter for control Pillar of Flame to take out pesky 2 drops if needed Purify the Grave if they play key cards from the graveyard.

Suggestions very welcome
