Guess what doesn't die to Doomblade? Or Supreme Verdict? A 20/20 trample indestructible colossus, that's what! Can they exile it? Sure. Are they likely to have enough removal to handle 3 of them AND the hordes of other large tramply creatures? It's very unlikely. Test, and you shall see.
This deck is pure and simple. Just the way I like it. 1) Ramp into humongous creatures. 2) Stomp thy enemy.
The mana:
4x Elvish Mystic4x
Sylvan Caryatid
4x Courser of Kruphix4x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx (Though I only have 3 right now.)
The acceleration / support:
4x Burning-Tree Emissary for that sweet free devotion.4x Courser of Kruphix for that land filter. Oh yeah.3x Garruk, Caller of Beasts (Though I only have 2 right now.) Bring on the monsters.1x
Garruk's Horde
because you know, more monsters. 3x
Nylea's Disciple
good devotion and major life gain. 2x Boon Satyr good devotion, sneaky flash for early game removal, and late game bestow.)
The Monsters:
3x Polukranos, World Eater removal and a monster. Yes please.3x Nylea, God of the Hunt indestructible, free trample for all, mana dump pump. 4x
Arbor Colossus
great devotion, kills/blocks flyers. Love him.1x
Kalonian Hydra
just because a green monster deck should not go without one. His doubling has also led to a 50/50 Colossus of Akros. No joke. 1x
Garruk's Horde
a decent monster even without the ability.3x Colossus of Akros because I want more than nothing than stomp with this guy. The joy of this deck.
The sideboard:2x Gahiji, the Political Beast for other monstery decks. Does the trick. 1x Bow of Nylea because Nylea wants her bow.4x Mistcutter Hydras come in against control. Out with the disciples.2x Unravel the Aether against other goldy decks.2x Clan Defiance and the land, against decks that keep wiping the board. Can you wipe the board, exile the indestructible, and counter a 15 damage clan defiance? Probably not.4x Stomping Grounds for the clan defiance.
I'm going to keep running this deck because I haven't had this fun playing Magic in a while. Any suggestions or ideas would be very much appreciated!
