That's definitely what I'd try first; it's hard to say for sure whether that would wind up as the final list without being able to test the card per se (sometimes a seemingly small initial change winds up leading to a complete deck overhaul when all is said and done), but currently Abbot is usually the most marginal creature aside from Jori En (which, unlike Abbot, is a necessary compromise in speed for the sake of consistency), so it seems like the most logical place to start. Good luck if you decide to try the deck!

I ran some of them, but always end up switching for spells. If I get a good one I'll give it a try.CREATURES:Akoum Hellkite: Interesting creature that doubles as creature killer. For 12 you can pop him in a single turn.Tyrant of Valakut: Almost every Koth that has this creature runs it.Iroas's Champion: A very damaging unit that clears boards.Embermaw Hellion: Beware of zerker, but also doubles up as another creature killer. SPELLS:Demolish: To destroy all those mirrorpools or other nasty supports other players are running. Single turn cast with any / / match.Devour in Flames: I end up running this to deal with the nastiest enemy creatures. Will probably trade for Exquisite Firecraft or Inner Struggle if I get them (mostly the later, kill anything that is not hexproof for 6? yes, please), but works well enough. Single turn castable with any / / match.Infectious Bloodlust. Permabuff, mainly for Iroas (so she can kill higher health enemies), you can save them and pop it the same turn you drop a creature.Sure Strike: Very cheap buff to add lots of damage, specially useful for Iroas (6 damage for 1) and your Hellion (because of zerker, since this also grants first strike, allows you to kill big units without losing him)Turn Against: Love this cards since it runs with any match. Get the nasties creature of your oponent for a sudden burst of extra damage. I sometimes run this along with Act of Treason.Uncaged Fury This is simply massive pain taking into account the creatures you have. Couple it with sure strikes and Koth's Rage of the Mountain and your opponent won't know why he died. I've been able to deal 70+ damage in a single turn in several battles, and with an Iroas down, seeing 50+ is not uncommon. _ _ _ How to play. Get units down. Iroas is your main priority, and a Hellion if possible (not mandatory). Unless you can both pop a creature and bloodlust in the same turn, (reorder your cards, creature must drop 1st) use them to buff your Iroas so she can kill anything that doesn't fly. Use mainly Reshape if you think you can get matches. Use Sure strikes and Devours to help/buff Iroas or Hellion if they find nasty oppossition, try to save Furies. Once you get a couple creatures start looking for your combo (namely: Fury + Rage of the Mountain). Rage grants +8 damage + Trample (for Iroas) + zerker, and fury will double up the benefits on the unit cast upon. Along with your unit's base damage, this will usually mean a 50+ damage burst in a single turn.
