Mid-range aggro-burn/control: make it through the early game by burning guys to death and drawing cards of ponder and mulldrifter, then take over the late game with Card Advantage + Big Shrouded Creatures + Burn. Razerunners are kind of not that good in this deck, maybe? Maybe Murderous Redcap? Seige-Gang Commander? Razormane Masticore? Sower of Temptation? Caldera Hellion? Even Mindwrack Leige to give all my creatures flash? Ok, probably not Mindwrack Leige, and maybe I'm underestimating the razerunners?
Is it just me, or did Ponder seem like a better choice back when I was trying to work a combo deck out of this? I'm not saying Ponder isn't good. I'm not even saying it shouldn't go in this decklist. I'm just a little unsure about it, since ponder doesn't really shout Mid-range Burn to me. But then again, I don't have the experience with it you do, D-Rok, so correct me if I'm wrong. I was just thinking maybe mindstone, or some other "better" draw card, ie. more than one card.
The sideboard is good for counter-control and for weanie/tokens. If I get into a top-decking situation, I'm probably already in trouble, and this sideboard isn't really going to help (with the exception of topdecking a needle the turn before ajani goes off, maybe), but it does keep me alive longer in the hard and faster aggro matchups.
