The main combo this was built around was Ambuscade Shaman + Flamerush Rider + Mardu Ascendancy . With those three cards alone you attack for 21 points of damage. Kolaghan Forerunners is pretty excellent with all these goblin tokens flying about too! He gets buffed from Flamerush Rider twice, and then gets another one from Mardu Ascendancy!

It's a bit of a later-game combo though, so I have other creatures to bring some pain earlier on, like Gurmag Swiftwing , Battle Brawler, and Bloodsoaked Champion!

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is a good way to add more creatures when the combo kicks off, and she helps protect my smaller creatures if they die.

I really would like some help with he sideboard. I know that it's more of a metagame thing than anything, but I would like some help there regardless.
