This deck uses ramp into token producers to go wide and abuse convoke and "creature count" on Xenagos.

Hits early with Goblin Rabblemaster, Hordeling Outburst, Dragon Fodder, and Surrak, the Hunt Caller. This also helps you ramp very fast with Xenagos, the Reveler or Chord of Calling for a Hornet Queen or Dragonlord Atarka. Other Chord targets are Shaman of the Great Hunt, Stormbreath Dragon, and Whisperwood Elemental.

DTK rework — March 26, 2015

Edit

Updates for DTK:

Dragon Fodder is the perfect 2 drop for the deck, and should help make for a smoother, more consistent curve into xenagos/chord of calling.

[[Surrak, the Hunt Caller] is a great aggressive creature that's very likely to come down with haste thanks to some goblins. I've replaced all but one of the Shaman of the Great Hunts with him because of his ability to give other creatures haste as well. However, I'm not sure yet if he will be better. The extra toughness is a major upside, but you miss out on free counters for your goblins.

Dragonlord Atarka is a great new aggressive option for top end Chords. It helps you clean up the board a bit and hits harder than a Hornet Queen. Atarka should be the new default chord for 7. I'm leaving 1 copy of Queen in because sometimes you just need 5 flying deathtouchers.

With these new cards, I feel the deck finally has the tools for consistent aggro, rather than sometimes acting as a straight up Hornet Queen deck. Because of this, I pulled out the slower cards like the the 2 of Shamanic Revelation and Hooded Hydras, and moved Purphoros, God of the Forge and Hornet Nest to the sideboard in favor of faster options

I also pulled out Crater's Claws in favor of Stoke the Flames, in large part because of the Dragon Fodder addition.
