I won with this list at my shops FRF games day and wanna take it to some IQs or PPTQs. Any suggestions would be helpful, especially with the side board, maybe  {Bile Blight}. Haven't gotten a chance to play against R/W Aggro though so any help there will also be appreciated!

{Circle of Flame} is a very underrated SB card. Otherwise I don't know how relevant {Hushwing Gryff} is.

It makes your two worst matchups much, much better

That's right, no no siege rhino, what's the other matchup your referring to?

Have you found you have enough mountains for chained to the rocks?

It hasn't seemed to be a problem, since I'm only playing 2 main and one in the side, plus with 4 mountains and 3 bloodstained mire potentially 7 mountains that's more than 1/4 of my land drawing a mountain

Hornet queen decks and abzan with wingmate and rhino

I think jeskai tokens just outclasses mardu tokens. The only card black has to offer that is really good and not just good is sorin. Blue, however, provides jeskai ascendancy which is AMAZING, treasure cruise aka ancestral recall, and from the board you get negate and disdainful stroke to deal with ugin decks. Maybe you just like mardu. Who am I to tell you you can't play it? Just my two cents

I agree, however the new dragon may change that...

Can't remember the name. "Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, target creature gets +2/+0 till end of turn"

{Hordling Outburst} for +6/+0 seems good to me. {Raise the Alarm} for an instant +4/+0 on an unblocked token? (Cause it's a token, one will get through). Dropping {Goblin Rabblemaster} then swinging with a 3/1 instead of a 1/1? Seems really good to me.

I agree with the dragon conversation plus I'm interested to see what Command Mardu's gonna get!!!!

I actually beat Jeskai tokens in that games day finals, butcher, if they can't deal with it immediately is deadly especially with his lifelink ability, sorin with his lifelink ability, seeker of the way again lifelink, they just can't deal with that much life gain. Plus with black u get in my opinion the best removal spell in the game in  {Crackling Doom} ,and from the side u get drown in sorrow, and hero's downfall

That's fair but better match up != better deck. Infect whoops RG tron while tron is much better.
