Trying to abuse Hellrider while he is still in standard. Plenty of good T2 plays to set up a nasty T3 for Hellrider. Lightning Mauler makes creatures dropped after Hellrider hasty plus combos well with Burning-Tree Emissary T2 and T4. the extra mana from a dork helps drop more creatures even if Hellrider cant be played T3 and leads to truely explosive T4 or T5. the extra mana also helps you play something T4 and T5 while keeping enough mana open for brutal finishes with Dynacharge and Weapon Surge .

R/G aggro with no targeted burn is strange I admit. I am big on cards that can fill multiple niches. Hellrider and Vexing Devil (T1-3) are effectivly creatures that can burn opponants. the creature pump, especially Weapon Surge giving first strike, in favorable situations can work like removal. plus dropping Vexing Devil late t4-6 soul bonded to Lightning Mauler is nasty.

A T1 Faithless Looting can turn a mediocre starting hand into a beast hand or at the worst it puts 2 cards you didn't need off the top of your deck into the graveyard

4x Forest were used instead of Rootbound Crag to prevent the awkward T1 where a dork could not be played or not having a target for Arbor Elf (if Rootbound Crag was only source of green mana).

Side board:

Act of Treason: if I run into a situation of a ramp deck dropping fat creatures, AoT effectivly becomes a creature that adds +1 to Hellrider plus swings for 4+ damage

Mizzium Mortars, Searing Spear , Shock: If I run into a situation where it's easier to burn my way out or need to clear a path through for my attacks.

Mountain: helps with casting if I side in Act of Treason

I really appreciate feed back.
