Weenie Rush.

Almost all creatures drops early, Raging and Striker have haste.  With Bonesplitter damage adds up quick.

Raise the Alarm played on the opponents turn is almost like haste-since they can attack on your turn which is next.

Striker and Tundra Wolves have 1st Strike- So Bonesplitter is a great match.

The offensive creatures are 1/1s; Bonesplitter is the only offense raising spell.

 

Goblin Striker does direct damage later in the game, and can also provide some control.  In fact with a Bonesplitter, it is the creature that provides options in how you use it, and some finesse mid game.  With 2 Boneplitters Spikey is a real threat to anything without protection from red.  Not to mention 3-5 Lp at a time, possibly as soon as turn 3 is respectable.

 

Shock and Shards provide control early to mid game.

 

For the late game-it’s either lose, or hope you have enough creatures and spikey out ot block and do direct damage.

 

Curve:

Mana   # of Spells

1                    20

2                    12

3                    8

 

Early is better, and this game has a lot to play on turns 1 and 2, and nothing past 3 mana.  20 Lands work to provide a land in the opening, although 2 on draw is a guaranteed good run for the opening.

 

Shards are the only uncommon, the rest are commons.  The deck will cost about $6.80-$8.00.  So far it has frustrated Affinity decks that did not have Pyrite Spellbomb.
