The plan is simple, kill your enemy ASAP or at least kill your enemy during one or two turns. It is possible to win with this deck on second turn.

I think it's a great move to play Signal Pest as a decoy. You can also play card:Memnite + Kuldotha Rebirth but I would rather prefer to get just this on creature killed than losing two cards because of mass removals. Foundry Street Denizen is quite cool play for the first turn as well, with his ability to grow with every single red creature played I would do more or less the same job as Signal Pest .

The perfect play would be 4x Burning-Tree Emissary and Reckless Bushwhacker for it's surge cost and then hit my enemy for 20 damage together with Signal Pest or Foundry Street Denizen , but it's unlikely to happen. Most of the time it would be combination of Ornithopter or Memnite with Reckless Bushwhacker or playing Goblin Bushwhacker for it's kicker cost. Anyway, you can hit your opponent for about 8-12 damage during turn two, which is quite nice I think.

If you didn't kill your opponent yet, your are going to do this now. In the worst case scenario you are going to left him with about 3 points of life left and kill him on turn fourth with Goblin Grenade or Lightning Bolt . This is also a perfect turn to play Browbeat which provides you really solid draw.

Against more aggressive decks you could keep them in control with Lightning Bolt , Searing Blood or Smash to Smithereens which I am wondering about replacing for Abrade so it would provide me even more control. Anyway, you keep your enemy away from you until you hit third or fourth turn, then you can play your whole hand and finish the game just in one turn.

I am familiar with the Bushwhacker Zoo decks but I want mine to be more or less budget, I am casual player mostly so I don't feel the need to buy $10 cards.

First turn. Memnite and/or Ornithopter + Kuldotha Rebirth .

Second turn. Memnite + Reckless Bushwhacker or Signal Pest + Goblin Bushwhacker . Attack for about 13

Third turn. Now burn the enemy with all I got. Lightning Bolt , Shrapnel Blast , Goblin Grenade or Galvanic Blast will help me finish the opponent as well as get rid of their creatures.

Fourth turn. If I didn't win already, I will burn my enemy right now for sure. Browbeat will provide me solid draw. Reverberate might be a good answer to counterspells.

#1 update: It seems like this deck is very squishy. It's very easy to beat it with simple cards like Blazing Volley . The best tactics playing against red decks was to wait until turn 3 or 4 and play all my creatures in one turn in order to hit for about 15 damage. Then it was easy to finish them off with Goblin Grenade or Shrapnel Blast .

Right now I am wondering about replacing Shrapnel Blast with Burning-Tree Emissary or Priest of Urabrask to focus more on using them together with Bushwhackers than finish my enemies later with sorceries and instants. Then of course I would have to replace Darksteel Citadel with regular mountains.
