Speaking of degenerate decks, I really like the synergies and aggressiveness of this one (without going into the sideboard):
Pump-Up The Vol(ume)
Creatures [24]
4 Bloodhall Ooze
4 Bloodbraid Elf
4 Countryside Crusher
4 Jund Hackblade
4 Putrid Leech
4 Quirion Dryad
Instants [10]
4 Flame Javelin
2 Bituminous Blast
4 Violent Outburst
Planeswalkers [2]
2 Sarkhan Vol
Artifacts [8]
4 Veinfire Borderpost
4 Firewild Borderpost
Lands [16]
6 Forest
2 Mountain
4 Swamp
4 Terramorphic Expanse
Features:
Bloodhall Ooze: Grows of quickly of the Borderposts, the Hackblade, Putrid Leech, and slowly of the other permanents in the deck. I think people underestimate the long-term gameplan that Bloodhall Ooze allows.
Quirion Dryad: This thing has just so much synergy with Cascade and Borderposts. Playing any Cascade card is giving your Dryad two +1/+1 counters immediately, often at instant speed.
Putrid Leech: Great, aggressive card that's hard to remove without Path.
Violent Outburst: I know it seems stupid to include, but it's always going to drag a creature in to play at instant speed, or at EOT. Surprise 4/2 Hackblade!
Sarkhan Vol: Combined with Violent Outburst, can really up the tempo. Or you can just grab something and swing the tide. And if they don't deal with it fast, kill from the air.
Terramorphic Expanse: Yes, while my opponent is playing their million dollar mana base, I'm stripping lands quickly and quietly out of my deck so I grab the next Cascade card quicker. Nothing wrong with that. Even when I hit a Borderpost off cascade, it still means one more mana ramp for me, one less mana source in the deck. Not a problem.
