The basic idea of this deck is to play a Primal Forcemage (ideally on turn 2), cast Bloodbraid Elf (ideally turn 3) and cascade into (ideally) Ball Lightning or Groundbreaker for a lot of damage (17). Eldritch Evolution is really sweet here since you can sac a mana dork to tutor for a Forcemage, sac a Strangleroot Geist for value (don't get a Bloodbraid Elf, as Cascade only works on cast), and cascade into it with Bloodbraid. It also lets the deck play a toolbox sub-strategy.

I'm currently looking for a utility card that has haste to replace Timbermare in the main (considering Avalanche Riders , Obstinate Baloth , Huntmaster of the Fells  , and Surrak, the Hunt Caller atm). Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!
