I made a list I'm going to try to put together, assuming no more cards are printed that outclass the ones in this list. It goldfishes pretty consistently on turn 4, and has some late game reach as well. If I'm missing something please let me know, I realize the mana base is painful, but the idea is that the opponent will be dead before it matters. I built this with Courser / Caryatid dominating the meta in mind, which I think is the first place a lot of people will go on rotation.
The single murderous cut is still up for testing, a hero's downfall may just be better. The deck has no double mana costs of any color so as long as you have a single source of BWR you can cast anything (+1 colorless for Sorin). The sideboard initial plan is a selection of removal so you can pick and choose depending on what your up against.

Is it just me or does the black not make much sense in either of these? Chief of the Edge should be RW and Chief of the Shield should be GW. I know there's white warriors in this set,and possibly the rest of block,but there's far more in red and/or green warriors in Magic period.

Well,the Warrior subtype is really thrown around a lot in this set because of the theme I guess. Most of the white warriors in this set are associated with Mardu while the white creatures associated with Abzan are almost exclusively soldiers (if they have a subtype). Then most of Abzan's non-white creatures with classes have the warrior subtype though.
Wizards probably wanted to push the Warrior tribal theme in the shared enemy color pair of WB as poison counter had said. The GR combination limits the player to Temur which already has the Ferocious mechanic, so they couldn't have really pushed that for the warrior tribal. The same reasoning can be used for GW.
It's a bit of a stretch, but I think they didn't want to push warrior tribal in RW because of the shared colors between Jeskai and Mardu. Building a board state is what tribal is all about, but Jeskai's mechanic wants you to play non creatures which contradicts the whole tribal mechanic.
Which is why I'm thinking that's why they chose WB for warrior tribal. Black giving the warrior subtype, probably having the most warriors after red and green. Then white gives the buff. If that makes any sense?
