Partially disbanded this deck for now to build an Anya deck. Will attempt to rebuild this again later with a better setup.

Quickly thrown together deck and list to play. Early on swinging seems viable: I had Radha's out and her mana gen was solid, even daring me to attack when opponents had much tougher creatures! However, the deck has trouble dealing with fliers, lacks spot removal (bolt, etc.) and huge damage spells (which can work in a deck that can race to and through topdeck answers). I also suffered from having A SINGLE Mountain for the entire match. Only drew Forests!

Got 'Halana and Alena, Partners' from Jrone, which will become an auto include.

Repurposing Ashling for this deck's iteration, plus any other cards I may have in decks that are useful. Also borrowed from Jhoira deck.

Samut draws us cards whenever we hit home with a creature that entered the battlefield. So the goal is:
- Serious ramp (get Samut out turn 2)
- Keep pressure with damage and card draw. Ensure we can draw our deck at an insane speed to keep answers in our hand.
- End with an army of creatures, a big X spell or a Hydra

Unsure about:
- Fire Diamond
- Moss Diamond
- Mob Rule
- Doric

Finishers:
- Atarka, World Render
- Hydra Omnivore
- Neheb (if I have a finisher after)
- Banefire (if enough (temporary) mana)
- Quest of the Pure Flame (if big creature)
- Avatar of Slaughter (kill someone or bust)
- Molten Primordial (nothing as fun as stealing)
- Utvara Hellkite (given time)

Disruptors:
- Ash Zealot (damage on graveyard cast, haste)
- Barbed Shocker (discard hand, haste)
- Pyrohemia (token clear)

Cards that help get Samut out turn 2:
- Arboreal Grazer
- Elvish Mystic
- Llanowar Elves
- Strike it Rich
- Wild Growth

Cards that provide repeatable or passive haste:
(instead of one time haste enablers)
- Hanweir Battlements
- Anger
- Ogre Battledriver
- Paragon of Fierce Defiance
- Ring of Valkas
- Swiftfoot Boots
- Ashling's Prerogative
- Escape Velocity
- Mark of Fury
- Samut, Tyrant Smasher

Cards that provide multiple combat phases:
- Scourge of the Throne
- Fury of the Horde
- Aggravated Assault

Cards that provide token haste creatures:
- Thopter Engineer
- Chandra, Flamecaller

Board wipes:
- Blasphemeous Act
- Chain Lightning

(Dash creatures work exceptionally well here too)

A card draw engine for anything haste. Woopdeedoo!

I still haven't built a Gruul deck and this seems like a great setup for a deck that can keep a hand full and just smack whenever wherever.

I'll figure out the side strategy as we go but the main one is SMACK.
