Control the board with deathpingers. Ramp, get card advantage by pinging your opponent and finish off with some power cards. Effective, brutal and fun! (...for you)

Battle Plan

Establish Presence

• Arbor Elf / Zhur-Taa Druid = Ramp

• [ Nightshade Peddler / Basilisk Collar ] + [ Vulshok Sorcerer / Cunning Sparkmage ] = Deathpingers

• [ Zhur-Taa Druid / Rumbling Slum / Vulshok Sorcerer / Cunning Sparkmage ] + [ Keen Sense ] = Card draw each turn

Finish off

• Rumbling Slum with Basilisk Collar or Keen Sense is brutal

• Skarrgan Firebird 6/6 finisher with RRR to resurrect

• Inferno Titan 6/6 pumpable finisher with destroy 3 creatures when soulbonded with Nightshade Peddler or equipped with Basilisk Collar

• Clan Defiance

Suggestions and comments are very welcome!
