So, here's the most basic breakdown of how this deck operates: Play 7-8 lands, cast Scapeshift sacrificing those lands and searching for 6 Mountains and 1-2 Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, and hit your opponent in the face for 18-36 direct damage with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle. If an opponent tries to kill you before then, you have a powerful arsenal of spells to tempo out the game and put you ahead of your opponent. I play 2 mainboard Thragtusk because he does everything you'd ever want a creature to do against aggro, which can be summed up in a quote from my friend: "True swag is bringing more life to the party when you arrive, then never leaving a homie alone when you go." Dropping a Thragtusk against a "fair" deck like UWR, Zoo or Jund can often buy you enough time to win with Scapeshift.
