Notes:
This is Draft B for my Naya Agro deck that I played in the Cincinatti star city open. I've made a few changes since the tournament. I like the horrible pun name, don't you?

Gorzo

At the tournament, I had {Lightning Maulers} instead of {Ash Zealot} and zealots in the sideboard. I also had an even 3-3 split of {Hellrider} and {Firemane Avenger}. Since then, I've upped hellriders to the max, and main boarded the zealots. I also fixed my mana a bit, I had too much green and not enough white.

Possible changes to make:

1) I know you're all thinking it. {Boros Reckoner} in the 3-drop slot instead of {frontline medic}. Yeah, I'd like to, but I stretched my budget way thin and my trade stock is super low. If I can open any, or get a super good deal on any reckoners, they will slowly start to take over the 3-drop slot.

2) my 1-drop. {Stonewright} is incredible synergy with the surprise star if my deck, the {Fencing Ace}. However, it's very seldom and inconsistent that I am successfully ably to utilize these two together to their intended potential. That being the case, I am considering replacing some or all of my stonewrights with a more reliable 1-drop, either {Legion Loyalist} or {Vexing Devil}. Thoughts on this?

Not too familiar with this play style but I must say a double strike with fire breathing is awesome. Props on that. It's sad it doesn't happen often for you though

I'm actually not a big fan of {Stonewright}. Always feels like he's taking up a spot for what feels like such a weak soulbond. Maybe I'm biased, but I think {Sexy Devil} in the 1 drop spot is killer. Early game, I've never had an opp let him stay, so 4 damage right there. And late game I've had opp's always leave him because by then they're already short on life. Mid game, they have to make a quick and hard decision, and most times have to rethink their next turn.
Sure he's easily dealt with, but for one red? Please! Maybe it's my poker side showing through, but I like to force my opponent, not me, to make the tough choice. Call or fold ya know.
Love the name too!

Burning tree emissary, mayor of avabruck, champion of the parish

I'm not convinced on Burning Tree yet, but I'd have to play with her to really find out. I think she's better in a pure gruul deck.
You can't realistically hope to have more than one to play at a time, so when casting one, if the rest of cards in hand are white like the champ of perishing, seems like a waste.
On the other hand a burning tree followed by a vexing and a rancor seems pretty nice.

... Oh jeez I'm conflicted. As of now I have no opinion on {Burning tree emisary}...

Definitely get rid of {stonewright} for {Legion Loyalist}, and being truly honest i hate {fencing ace}, but thats me

If you replace ash zealot with lightning mauler, burning tree would fit in just fine.

Hays413

I'd rather neither of those and keep  {Ash Zealot}

Wsuryanjeska

Ash zealot is a sideboard card.

No, its very good in both mainboard and sideboard

Harmon74

 {Alpha Authority}, and {Madcap Skills} makes a creature unblockable and hex proof.  Plus {Ethereal Armor} makes for a very scary {Fencing Ace}.  Just saying:)

No, it's very good in the sideboard and okay in the mainboard. I didn't win the last 3 fnm's in a row mainboarding ash zealots
