The main plan is to play Tireless Tribe t1 and then discard your hand to it on t2 while playing About Face or Inside Out. Failing that, t1 Nomads, t2 Spiritualist (made huge by nomads) is another path that could either lead to a t2 kill (requires 2 acceleration + about face and chaos charm), or more realistically turn 3. Failing either, you play Looting and hope for the best.
Blessing and Charm prevent your opponent from interacting with your strategy. If you fail to combo out early, you can still hold out for a bit as a bad aggro deck that threatens to suddenly swing for the win at any time. Give it a try and tell me what you think. I'm sure the Petals can be swapped for Plains/Mountains if that's what's keepng you

If you used Twisted Image, you could go into blue rather then Red, which might be better (you'd at the very least be able to draw an extra card from your about face). It would give you the ability to dig for your combo, to protect it with counters or Mizzium Skin, Distortion Strike or Veil of Secrecy.

Maybe blue isn't an option since Twisted Image is uncommon.
My concern with the deck: does it just fold to MBC? Discard makes Tireless Tribe weaker, and aside from making tokens, we have no way to protect against edicts.
I would run Lotus Petal if I had them (may go for them).
Rather than Chaos Charm, I prefer more protection in Benevolent Bodyguard and Stave Off. Manamorphose doesn't feel amazing, so I'd like to try Iron Will and Standard Bearer.

Im running this exact list now. Its surprisingly good. Lotus petals enable more consistant t2 wins. T1 tribe. t2 hawk-petal-about=gg
"If fetch lands are reprinted I really believe they will be in allied colors (aka Onslaught fetches). If the fetch lands are reprinted you better believe that we'll all be fetching up basics. This would lead me to believe that the set after THS may have a reprint as the temples can't be fetched but it's pure speculation." - posted 03/22/2014 proved correct during Khans spoiler season.
"The set releases for fall 2015 (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and fall 2016 (Lock, Stock and Barrel). One or both of those 2 blocks (I'm betting) are going to contain either Fetch reprints or (more likely) Filter reprints. Filter lands still need a reprint. They are getting pretty high up there and it's been longer than ZEN so it makes a little more sense that Filter lands would see print earlier that fetches." - posted 03/22/2014 proved incorrect about filters coming earlier than fetches, still pending on filters in Origins block.
Did you really just necro a thread from two years ago to suggest a rare card in the pauper subforum?

Oh, you think the losers' bracket is your ally, but you merely adopted the scrub tier. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t 4-0 an FNM until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but an extra pack to sell for store credit!

I think the problem is if you run into something that can throw a blocker in the way or remove your creature. you have to protection to stop the removal, but, what about a way to push damage through? Maybe Temur Battle Rage would do the trick?

Edit: I guess Apostle's Blessing let's you get around the blocker.
Edit 2:

Sticking to red is the way to go then... Blue would give such great filtering though. It is not to be...

If you're running that exact list, where are the petals and hawks coming from?

Except the 1/1 mana dork they played ruins your whole plan until you get your protection.

Seriously, I got a notification of this and I haven't been on this site for a long time.
