Drana, Liberator of Malakir has added a huge boost to this decks initial plan. She is best played, when a Mardu Ascendancy is already in play, one her first combat turn creating 2/2 goblins. Looking to play on Zada, Hedron Grinder ability with Pump spells that bring utility. Turn 3 and 4-> Mardu Ascendancy + Valor in Akros means guaranteed boosts turns you declare. Dragon Fodder, fills the field gradually for chumps, Mardu Charm doing the same later with versatility. Then on turns of defence you're able to play Secure the Wastes + Valor in Akros to make 3/3 + or higher on all creatures including you're new Warriors. Lifelink of Butcher of the Horde keeping oneself in the game til this later combos can be used.

The lands are furthest from the plan still needing plenty of feedback, the deck has been playtesting will with feedback welcome as long as the core idea seems to stay intact.
