In the beginning of the game the deck is about mana ramp and playing mana quickly to pay for cheap creatures. This allows me to stall so that in the long run I can play and buff larger beast creatures to attack with.

Important Cards

• Advocate of the Beast : this card is what allows my beast creatures to buff quickly.Usually I get at least two advocates of the beast in play, at one time during game-play

• Nissa's Pilgrimage + Swell of Growth : Nissas Pilgrimage allows me to mana ramp and get land out of my deck as quick as possible and along with Swell of Growth it allows me to play extra lands in my hand on each turn while temporarily buffing my cheaper creatures for attack and defense

• Garruk's Horde : this card become extremely helpful in the later of the game because it allows me to play creature cards rapidly from my library, which at that point I definitely have the mana to support

One of the problems with this deck is countering spells. Many of the powerful or important creatures are countered or exile and I have no cards to prevent that. This is why I usually on can only get at most two advocates of the beast out on the field; they get destroyed before I can get to use them. Another problem is removal, there are a few cards that are removal but only come in handy from time to time. I am looking for suggestions on how to prevent my creatures from being removed and other ways to help buff my creatures.
