Selesnya pumped-up trample. Bronzebeak Moa and Champion of the Parish are the main attackers.

T1: Forest - Avacyn's Pilgrim

T2: Plains - Silverblade Paladin

T3: Forest - Bronzebeak Moa (bonded to Paladin)

T4: Land - Rancor on Moa - Fungal Sprouting

The Moa is already a 4/2, now gets +12/+12 - a 16/14 double strike/trample. Swing for 32.

OR

T1: Plains - Champion of the Parish

T2: Forest - Gather the Townsfolk - swing for 3

T3: Plains - Thraben Doomsayer - swing for 4

T4: Land - Rancor, tap TD for token, Silverblade Paladin

Champion is now a 8/6 trample/double strike. Swing for 16.

Obviously, those are asking for a lot out of your opening hands, but they're just examples.

I really wanted to build a deck around the fun lil chocobos. Bronzebeak Moa is actually a really fun little card. Throw a Rancor on it and watch it FLY...well...RUN over the competition!


Silverblade Paladin is fun in almost any deck, but paired with the Moa can really cause some havoc.

Thraben Doomsayer can be used to help pump up the Moa or Champ every turn. Could be useful for defense or offense.

Fungal Sprouting is actually a pretty effective card in this deck. Even if you're just getting a 1-for-1 token-to-mana return on a Rancor'd Moa, that's not bad. If you've got a Doomsayer out, bring out a token and then you're getting even better value.

Gather the Townsfolk is a good 2-drop for defense, or good later on to pump up the Moa or Champ.

Selesnya Charm is versatile, in that it can provide trample in cases of missing a Rancor, remove large threats or put in a token to trigger the Moa again. I've also used Rancor to pump up someone else's creature before, then used Selesnya Charm to then exile it, and I get Rancor back.

As always, helpful comments and suggestions are appreciated.

I'm considering dropping the mana to 18 or 19. With nothing costing over 4, I'm finding myself with a little too much land in hand. I could just drop the Avacyn's Pilgrim, but I still feel it's important to keep to help quicken the first few turns. Mentor of the Meek may also need to find a way in, to help keep the more options and pump up opportunities in hand. I'll update soon based on a bit more playing it. I'm also still trying to see how well Champion of Lambholt works out. It's a little slower than using Rancor to get trample.
