Ancestral Anger

Sorcery

Target creature gains trample and gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is 1 plus the number of cards named Ancestral Anger in your graveyard. (The creature can deal excess combat damage to the player, planeswalker or battle it is attacking if lethal combat damage would be dealt to all blocking creatures.)

Draw a card.

Very cool brew. Kind of like Jonjon said, I think trample would be helpful. Cards like Ancestral Anger or Crash Through, although sorceries, are amongst my favorites because they draw a card and bait out counterspells or removal before going to combat and wasting a bunch of pump spells. Also would recommend finding room for at least 2 Pyroblast in the sideboard based on today's meta. Maybe go down a Duress or 2 and 1x Crypt Incursion.

This looks interesting, but I do have a couple of questions.

You mention it takes skill with card sequencing and tactical thinking, plus some luck, to win. How much skill vs. luck is in the game? How much would I be able to overcome bad luck with strong play, or recover from a misplay through luck or skill?

How rigid is the precon deck? It looks like if it was loaded with burn spells and hasty creatures, every game would be a turn 1 win, so you clearly put effort into balancing it and making it variable. But how much would you allow someone else to change it? For example, with damage caps, singleton cards, and no blockers, could Ancestral Anger be exchanged for any other card that lets you draw a card, for example Bandage?

I like what you got here. The only things I can suggest are the following.

1) run four copies of Lightning Bolt. It acts like removal and gives you the ability to hit your opponent’s life total directly. I personally feel Kazuul's Fury  ^Flip, Mutagenic Growth, Kazandu Mammoth  ^Flip and Wayward Guide-Beast aren’t needed unless you run three or more copies of each.

2) cards like Ancestral Anger, Audacity, Charge Through and Crash Through allow you to get past walls of creatures with trample and also draw you a card, which can make your deck more consistent.

I think the ideal list for you would be this.

4 Akoum Hellhound, 4 Brushfire Elemental, 3 Lotus Cobra, 3 Atarka’s Command, 4 Lightning Bolt, 3 Temur Battle Rage, 4 Crash Through, 4 Enter the Unknown, 4 Explore, 4 Skyclave Pick-Axe, 23 lands

Although I haven't played much pauper, a quick search led me to some card for you to consider. Ancestral Anger might be worth running over Crash Through, Mutagenic Growth always pairs well with Kiln Fiend, and Renegade Tactics might be worth considering for the sideboard.

Thanks sergiodelrio, I’ll add Ancestral Anger to the maybeboard straight away. Not sure what I’d remove for it, since it really wants to be a full play set, but I’m sure there’s room for tinkering here.

Wow I got Mandela'd pretty hard on this deck xD

Read the description 3 times because my mind insisted that Swiftspear had been Common since Khans and almost wrote that as a comment. But I went double-checking and it turns out it had been uncommon up until recently. I'm prolly getting old xD

Long story short: +1 from me

Also, check out Ancestral Anger in case you haven't yet, I know you already have crash through but it gives you that extra pump. Just as an option

Ancestral Anger just seems like a better defiant strike to me. Other than that, it looks good!

freddiefrick, we took out the Worldslayer combo along with Dragon Egg and Dragon Hatchling. Added the following -

Ancestral Anger, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Heartless Hidetsugu, Terror of Mount Velus

Thanks so much for the help.
