This deck was originally a copy of Standard Counterburn deck by Hills, props go to him for the original idea.What I'm doing here is updating it to M15/Kahns the best way I could.

The idea here is to use the mighty Howl of the Horde and Satyr Firedancer to dish out amazing amounts of damage and easy removal. Goblin Rabblemaster adds to the fun as it can be used to convoke Stoke the Flames .

With Satyr Firedancer and Goblin Rabblemaster in play you can use Howl of the Horde attacking with one of the tokens for Raid, and convoke Stoke the Flames .You get 4 + 4x2 damage to the opponent, and 4x3 damage to any creature(s) he/she has. This is and extremely devastating 12 damage to the player and board. You can even take out a monstrous Polukranos while dropping him to 8 hp.With lower mana cost and no convoke you can use a Lightning Strike for 9 damage.However, this is probably a T4 move

Also, using Magma Jet with Howl of the Horde will give you 3 x Scry2 :D

COMBOS:

1 - T1 - Land
T2 - Land, Satyr Firedancer
T3 - Land, one of the burn instants to damage player, taking out a cheap creature or Goblin Rabblemaster
T4 - Land, Howl of the Horde + Stoke the Flames

This seems very ambitious. I am hoping to delay the game long enough to reach that point. But even without Howl of the Horde , this deck still seems very competent with Searing Blood and Magma Jet to deal with early creatures until Firedancer comes up and removal for bigger badder things.

2 - Howl of the Horde + Searing Blood vs a big creature can actually do 6 damage to it and 9 damage to the player for 5 mana and no convoke even without Satyr Firedancer. With it in play, you have combo n 4

3 - Searing Blood on a creature with Satyr Firedancer in play and a Lightning Strike or Magma Jet to the player can also take out a 4 or 5 toughness creature and do 5 or 6 damage to a player with only 4 mana.

4 - The 5 mana boardclearer - have [Satyr Firedancer]]/Goblin Rabblemaster both out. Draw card, cast Howl of the Horde , attack with at Goblin token to activate Raid, cast Searing Blood.This amounts to: 3x2 = 6 damage on a creature (you want to kill it/them) which does 3x3 = 9 damage to player both from Searing Blood and an additional 3x3 damage to any creatures because of Satyr Firedancer.You can either focus fire on a single big baddie, or kill 6 creatures while dealing 9 damage. All this for 5 manaWith 3 additional mana and the Jest in the mainboard you can be sure it will be a creature wipe.

The amount of combos is ridiculous, and with so many burn instants in the deck, you always have something in hand to play. The vital thing is to get Satyr Firedancer and Goblin Rabblemaster in play, because then you can direct all your burn to the player and hit the creatures as well.

Keeping Polymorphist's Jest + Scouring Sands in the sideboard could go a long way against god and hexproof decks. YES, Polymorphist's Jest WILL MAKE HEXPROOFLESS AND DESTRUCTIBLE FROGS!

Please give some insight on this deck, and again, many thanks to Hills for making the original deck I used as basis for this one.Cheers! and please +1 if you like
