I love sac-centric decks, so I decided to make a mutation of Mardu Pyromancer featuring Butcher of the Horde. Rather than overwhelm with elemental tokens, the purpose is to use elemental tokens to buff multiple Butchers to maximize their value.

I am considering including Hero of Precinct One as well or potentially to replace Pyromancer, but that would require a large rework of the deck.

Update 2/23/19 - I got rid of lightning helix in favor of mainboarding Boros Charm, as I feel it works very well with Butcher which can potentially gain you 10 life with double strike rather than the 3 from helix. I also shrunk the manabase a bit and bumped Monastery Mentor up to a 4-of.
