I wanted to build a cheap and fun Aggro deck around Goblin Chainwhirler and Danitha Capashen. The main focus is to force damage through with first strike on ALL creatures. Then bring out Kwende to give them Double Strike. Strong equipment (CMC reduced thanks to Danitha) like Forebear's Blade and Blackblade Reforged add muscle to my hitters. Aether Hub offers flexibility with mana and the energy provided from Aether Chaser can be used with Harnessed Lightning too. Finally, rely on cheap burn to stop threats and help finish off my opponent. I have played this in casual matchups and fared quite well, often stopping treats in their tracks from fear of the first strike combat priority.

I am looking for suggestions for how to adjust the deck when fall Standard rotation hits. I will lose the energy synergy and the Skyship Stalker. Would a move to add more White (Lyra, Shalai, Benalish Marshall?) help to balance out the Red? Could any cards from Core 19 be added?
