Instead of Hellrider or Chandra phenox at the top of the curve how about ogre battledriver he turns any of your tokens into immediate threats along with a pike?

Thank you for the feedback. I completely forgot about Pike, that does seem like a perfect fit into the deck. It effectively makes any token or creature into a huge threat that has to be dealt with. I was also thinking that Hellrider would be a great top end finisher, especially with all the tokens I can produce.

Also, If you cut the burning earth strategy, you could throw a couple of guildgates in there along with a couple of mutavaults to beat the rest of the life out of the opponent, possibly strap on a pike for extra fun.

I like augurs over delvers for most of these matchups, and I think there should be at least 2 runechanters pikes in a deck with 24 md spells+token generators.

MTGO screwed you hard and often on land in these matches though, so nothing to be done about that.
