its brewing time of year...thought id try my hand

i handle criticism well so please leave any and all feedback :)

card selection:

WIN CONS:

Butcher of the Horde ...great win con and fairly self explanatory

Elspeth, Sun's Champion ...a well know win con

Goblin Rabblemaster ...with all the hype on this card im sure youve heard of it :)

Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker ...a nice beater

Bloodsoaked Champion ...my backup win con

WALKERS:

Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker ...great offence or defence

Chandra, Pyromaster ...pseudo card draw and can pick off Elvish Mystic , brain maggots, among others

Elspeth, Sun's Champion ...as stated above is a great win con but also spits out tokens for the butcher to devour

REMOVAL:

Bile Blight ...for those agro decks...also great against eslpeth and xenawalker

Hero's Downfall ...if youre running black and not running a full playset, something is wrong

Crackling Doom ...great against hexproof and not shabby vs other monster decks

FEED THE BUTCHER:

Bloodsoaked Champion ...works well with butcher...sac for what you need then bring him right back...also well against decks such as this with lots of removal

Goblin Rabblemaster ...a well known threat but his tokens can also fuel the butcher

Elspeth, Sun's Champion ...tokens!

SIDEBOARD OPTIONS:

Drown in Sorrow ...great to clear an aggro board, i chose drown vs Anger of the Gods so i wouldnt exile my bloodsoaked champions and also it helps kill gods when combined with bile blight...comes in vs aggro and and other time it may seem relevant

Empty the Pits ...mid game can feed the butcher or late game flood the board...comes in vs control

Erase ...takes care of gods, courser, and any other enchantment or enchatment creature that could be pestering you...comes in vs gods or enchantment decks

Lightning Strike ...good for early creature removal and going to the face, also good vs walkers...comes in vs aggro, walkers, and sometimes control

Mardu Charm ...can help pick off creatures, pull removal from opponent, or feed the butcher...comes in vs control

Thoughtseize ...great for removing threats or your opponents removal...comes in vs control or any deck that seems to have threats i do not have answers for

if you have suggestions or ideas on how to make this better, please comment!!!
