The deck's main stategy is to get Hunted Horror out really early and bounce the centaur tokens with Echoing Truth, leaving you with a turn three 7/7 on board. I'm running Thing in the Ice as an alt win condition as well as for its bounce effect which removes all creatures except horrors.
Supporting instants are there to counter opponents spells, dig for needed cards and tick down Thing in the Ice. Jace, Telepath Unbound is really good for keeping enemy creature threats under control and for flashbacking instants. Delver of Secrets is there to provide possible early evasive threat and to draw removal.
The sideboard is pretty flexible, the one above is largely in response to the current decks I've found myself facing.
The deck has done really well against goblin storm and other token decks, as well as creature decks in general. It is pretty bad against bogles though.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.
I'd like some advice on how to make it better.
