Burning-Tree Shaman is painful here but gotta be tested to see clear.
Scab-Clan mauler over giant solifuge. It doesn't have haste but there wasn't any 4cc spells in BDW neither...
and with all the fetch-lands, this berserker is easyer to play.
Ghost Quarters x2-3 extended ? few critical lands ahead!
One basic land of each color not to go mad about loss of life
Lava Dart x2...hell the 2 awsome lavadarts that can fling by themselves a playset of dark confidants!

dude that manabase is kinda meh..I think you are only playing the fetchlands to have at least some kinda excuse to make zoo extended...

solifuge > firecat
soli cant be targeted and will stay to beat them in the face for a long time to come

yep with all the lava darts and dark blasts flying around blistering firecat is no longer played by most BDW decks, if you need a 4cc beater solifuge is great.
