Based off of Jeff Hoogland's Temur Tempo deck at http://themeadery.org/articles/the-temur-standard

Basic plan: stick a must-answer threat (or sometimes two), then protect it with Stubborn Denial and other counter magic. If it gets removed, then stick another threat, with mana up to protect it. Finish with Crater's Claws to the face or a creature alpha strike.

This is a tempo deck, not an aggro deck. Don't barf your whole hand onto the battlefield at once. Just keep one ahead using counter magic and/or removal.

Sideboard plan (although you need to be flexible/nimble about this):

On the draw, pull the Goblin Rabblemasters and one Forest. On the play, pull the Courser of Kruphixes. In general, side out Temur Charm s as needed.

Then bring in...

Vs. Abzan Midrange: Stubborn Denial, Crater's Claws and Disdainful Stroke.

Vs. Abzan Aggro: Disdainful Stroke and Crater's Claws

Vs. Reanimator: Disdainful Stroke, Destructive Revelry, Treasure Cruise, and Anger of the Gods.

Vs. Jeskai Ascendancy: Stubborn Denial, Anger of the Gods, Wild Slash , and Destructive Revelry.

Vs. UW Heroic: Force Away , Destructive Revelry, and Wild Slash .

Vs. UB Control: Stubborn Denial, Treasure Cruise, Destructive Revelry, and Disdainful Stroke.

Vs. Mardu: Anger of the Gods, Disdainful Stroke, and Crater's Claws .
