This is a casual budget deck (modern legal) which aims to do 20+ damage in one turn. Key ingredients for that are Ball Lightning , Assault Strobe, Fury of the Horde (or variations on those cards), based on mana from Tinder Wall; basically, boom boom boom.

Ideal case scenario: death on turn two

1. Play Karplusan Forest , Tinder Wall
2. Play Mountain. Tap both lands and sacrifice Tinder Wall for a total of RRRR. Play Ball Lightning and Assault Strobe. Attack. Then play Fury of the Horde by discarding two red or gold cards from your hand. Attack again.

Alternative scenario #1: death by turn three

1. Play Forest, Tinder Wall.
2. Play Mountain, Wall of Roots. Activate Wall of Roots to play another Tinder Wall.
3. Play Mountain. Sacrifice both Tinder Wall for RRRR. Tap lands for RRG. Use RRRRRRG to play a Ball Lightning , Phytoburst and Assault Strobe and take one mana burn. Just because you can. Attack for 20 damage.

Ideal case scenario #2: death by turn three

1. Play Forest.
2. Play Mountain. Tap lands to play Radha, Heir to Keld.
3. Play Mountain. Attack with Radha, Heir to Keld and gain RR. Tap Forest and use RG to discard Ghor-Clan Rampager and give your Radha a 4/+4 bonus. Play Assault Strobe with remaining R. This pumps up your Radha, Heir to Keld to deal 12 damage. Then discard two red or gold cards from your hand and play Fury of the Horde and attack again.

Play style (when you're less lucky)

1. Turn 1 to 3: Build up your mana base with Radha, Heir to Keld, Tinder Wall and Wall of Roots. The latter two should provide defense to critters. Dole out some damage (and collect the 2 mana) with Radha, Heir to Keld if you can.

Then play Ball Lightning or Elemental Appeal , pump it up with Phytoburst , Ghor-Clan Rampager , or Colossal Might and play Assault Strobe to make it dole out 22+ damage.

Alternatively, you can play only two of these three cards to pump your critter to 11+ power and then play Fury of the Horde to attack another time.

Budget

Most cards are less than $1.00. All main deck cards are less than $2.50, with the exception of the double-lands. For a more affordable version, replace those with mountains and forests.
