Butcher's Glee can literally swing a game if you are behind in limited. Gain some power and life, kill their dude, your WILL live unless they have sneaky tricks.
How is Butcher's Glee good in a dash-deck? You'll never have the mana to dash AND play Glee.
It's not unreasonable at all to play a cheap dash creature (like Reckless Imps for example) and have the mana to still Butcher's Glee it, but even then it's not like we're expecting the deck to just be dash creatures or to not hardcast our dash creatures at some point. Taking dash out of the situation altogether, our deck is already leaning toward an aggressive slant and Butcher's Glee can be a real beating in an aggressive limited deck.

I'm picking Ojutai's Summons because we need evasion to go with the dashers.
This to a degree. I like the black tricks, but not over much stronger creatures like the Summons and the Sandcrafter. IMO their is just too big a power gap between those and the rest of the pack to pass on one of them this early, especially when we are only in one color so far. Summons for me too. UB tempo seems strong.
Ojutai's Summons wasn't too far behind, but Kolaghan took the day with Butcher's Glee. Time to branch out, unless we want to go with Lesser Durdle Turtle.
This pack has nothing good in our colors, so it is a choice between taking Reduce in Stature and going into blue, taking Guardian Shield-Bearers and going into green, or taking a subpar Kolaghan's Monument. I think that the Shield-Bears synergize best with our current gameplan.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
