Strengths and Weaknesses

Weak to hand disruption.
8Rack is a tough match up. Decks based Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle are also tough.
Strong versus creature heavy decks. Weenie/Token decks help you cast Blasphemous Act. Small number of large creatures are susceptible to Path to Exile and Deflecting Palm.

**Have not yet played much against pure control decks.

Pro Tips

In order to not kill oneself, it may be advisable to Volcano Hellion yourself down to 5 in case your Nearheath Pilgrim gets removed.
Deck runs much better without Blood Moon, but sometimes it's the only way to slow your opponent.

Opponent Tips

Naya Burn - focus on lifelink to win the card advantage battle. Soulbond the Nearheath Pilgrim as soon as possible as your opponent is nasty fast. The more they have to remove your creatures, the more likely you'll win. No appropriate sideboards.
Grixis Death's shadow - surprisingly good match up since they play a small number of large creatures. Path to Exile and Deflecting Palm are huge assets. Sideboard Blood Moon, Rest in Peace, and Grafdigger's Cage.
Eldrazi Tron - Tough match up because of hand disruption. Counter intuitively, Blood Moon doesn't seem to have much effect on slowing it down. Sideboard Wear / Tear and Shatterstorm and remove Lightning Bolt and a combination of Nearheath Pilgrim and Spitemare. Stuffy Doll is huge asset.
Artifact Affinity - Same strategy as Eldrazi Tron
deck:8 Rack - Leyline of Sanctity shuts it down hard. Side in Wear / Tear as well.Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - side in Leyline of Sanctity and Blood Moon
