Inspired by the old UR ensoul standard and frontier builds, the gist of this deck is that if you hit them 4 times (maybe with a fetchland crack or a random bomat hit or two), they're dead through the 5-damage spells in the 8 blasts and ensoul.

Why play this over normal affinity? It doesn't die to stony silence, and has an insane amount of reach, generally doing better against other creature decks with more interaction as well.

It has been fun and doing extensively well in testing, and I hope to be able to build it in paper in the upcoming months.
