Call of the Wildebeests

Casual Mono-Green Toolbox

Stampeding Wildebeests is the old classic for bouncing creatures with comes-into-play abilities to be taken advantage of. Nowadays we have flickering to speed the process up somewhat, so how do we create a more unique experience within green?

The answer (hopefully?) lies in a Mwonvuli Beast Tracker toolbox. Every turn the Wildebeests send the Tracker right back to your hand, letting you replay her to grab another creature to help out. Opponent play a nasty artifact or enchantment? Grab Acidic Slime or Gemrazer to take it out of the picture. Flyers got you down? Stingerfling Spider can do the same for them, literally. Need a little mana acceleration? Sylvan Caryatid provides a little more to work with. Hurting for life? Arborback Stomper has you covered. Meanwhile, Thorn Mammoth can wipe out opposing creatures every time the Tracker makes a reappearance, and Wildborn Preserver has the opportunity to grow to game-winning size as your non-human creatures show up. Anyone with handy comes-into-play abilities can of course be bounced by the Wildebeests, ensuring you don't have to simply grab a new creature with the Tracker every turn.

Now unlike flickering, you do have to pay for mana costs this way, and it can be tricky to afford the Tracker as well as whatever else you're fetching every turn. The solution lies in Call of the Wild, letting you immediately cheat out any creature the Tracker grabs for a reasonable, fixed price. Cheat a Sylvan Primordial or Soul of the Harvest out and watch your foe sweat! Since you're dropping creatures every turn, Sylvan Anthem can help score a little more value along the way while pumping your army.
