UNFLINCHING ASSAULT

Bolster your forces with the "Unflinching Assault" deck! Use your aggressive creatures to get damage in early, and if your opponent starts to stabilize with large blockers, pump up your troops until they're big enough to break through.

Many cards in your deck become more powerful the more creatures you have on the battlefield. Because of these cards, such as Harsh Sustenance and Rush of Battle, you should be wary of trading your creatures off in combat. For the same reason, you'll usually want to create a Spirit token with Sandsteppe Outcast rather than putting a +1/+1 counter on it.

Dragonscale General can really help you take over games, especially in conjunction with Cruel Sadist. The Sadist can take advantage of any +1/+1 counters on it to eliminate opposing creatures, not just those added by it's own ability! And even if you don't have Dragonscale General to push your Cruel Sadist into overdrive, building up +1/+1 counters with the latter's own ability is well worth a few points of life.

The Fate Reforged set has many other options for customizing the "Unflinching Assault" deck. The legendary creature Daghatar the Adamant can move +1/+1 counters around, making combat a nightmare for your opponent - especially when combined with bolster effects. Citadel Siege is another perfect fit, as it gives your creatures more +1/+1 counters or holds your opponent's best attacker or blocker at bay. If your're looking for another finisher, Brutal Hordechief is the creature for you, as it causes your opponent to lose 1 life (and you gain 1 life) for each of your attacking creatures.
