“This deck is a Madness-based aggressive strategy centered on Survival of the Fittest and Wild Mongrel as discard outlets to cast Basking Rootwalla and Arrogant Wurm at drastically reduced costs. Survival tutors up key pieces like Squee (for repeated Survival activations), Anger (to grant haste to the team), and situational silver bullets, creating a self-sustaining engine that generates card advantage while pressuring the opponent with undercosted threats. The burn suite of Lightning Bolt, Incinerate, and Lava Dart (which can be flashed back from the graveyard as a free discard trigger) provides reach and removal to close out games or enable additional madness plays.”

Buy sideboard on ManapoolPyroblast and Red Elemental Blast are premium answers here since the opponent's entire deck is blue — they counter Gush, Counterspell, Stifle, or Vision Charm, or simply destroy a resolved Phyrexian Dreadnought before it attacks. Naturalize is dead since they run no artifacts or enchantments worth hitting. Goblin Sharpshooter and the lone Goblin Tinkerer are too slow and don't affect the race, so they make room. Keep pressuring with the goblin curve — this matchup is a race where their clock is turn 2-3 if the Dreadnought resolves, so every blast spell that stops it buys a crucial turn.
Azorius Replenish wins by reanimating Opalescence and Parallax Wave with Replenish, so an extra Naturalize gives us a way to destroy Opalescence or a resolved enchantment before the lock engages, though Replenish itself can't be targeted once it's a spell on the stack. Our clock needs to be fast since Ancient Tomb lets them deploy their combo ahead of curve, so pressuring early with Goblin Lackey and Warchief is essential. Mogg Fanatic is cut as its 1 damage doesn't interact meaningfully with their plan. Play around Swords to Plowshares by not overcommitting a single key threat and race before Replenish resolves.
Terrageddon is a land-destruction aggro deck that also plays Seal of Cleansing, so a single extra Naturalize gives us a way to proactively blow up a problematic Seal or Call of the Herd token generator before it snowballs card advantage. Armageddon is a real concern since our board already runs Wasteland and Rishadan Port, which pair well with our low curve to rebuild faster than they can after a mutual land wipe. Mogg Fanatic is the cut since 1 damage rarely answers their bigger threats like Terravore or Werebear post-threshold. Prioritize deploying threats fast and using Rishadan Port/Wasteland proactively on their mana before they can assemble Armageddon mana.
