Value centered gruul with Kodama and Dargo as partners for a sac and ETB theme.

The whole playstyle is to ramp up with land fetchers and the eldrazi scions/spawns. Then start developing the board with as many ETB support, especially the card draw on ETB and damage on ETB. Always keep a few eldrazi dorks around for when you cast Kodama. If you sac at least 2 eldrazi dorks to cast Kodama, most of the time you will be able to cast Dargo as well thanks to his ability to make himself cheaper due to artifacts or creatures sacrificed this round. If you are short on mana to cast dargo, you can always sac other unnecessary creatures you have lying around. The combo is basically to always cast Kodama and Dargo on the same turn when opponents are tapped out to start generating value. Almost every other permanent can be put into the field when Dargo ETBs so you make use of that.

Once you have a sac outlet, a few tokens, and an effect like Impact Tremors, you can almost always sac Dargo, the Shipwrecker over and over to kill the opponents. Keep in mind that his ability to make himself cheaper stacks for the turn. If you sacrificed 3 creatures to cast him the first time this turn, he will cost 6 less to cast. If you sac 1 more this turn, he will cost 8 less to cast, and so on. One of the better combo set ups, is to have Thermopod out and a few Eldrazi Spawn or Eldrazi scion out that can sacrifice themselves for mana, and sacrificing Dargo for can win you the game on the spot with Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, or even Warstorm Surge on the field.

If the Dargo plan isn't working out, you can change the playstyle to damage opponents with all of the tokens you make. You can also make the most out of Kodama of the East Tree with Panharmonicon and Conjurer's Closet. Since you make a hefty amount treasure tokens, it isn't unlikely to win with Hellkite Tyrant.

After a bit of playtesting, I noticed that although it is easy to get the ball rolling with Dargo and Kodama, you can end up running out of cards in hand fast if you don't have card draw on ETB on the field already. I added Life's Legacy and Momentous Fall to help with this, since both help with sacrificing Dargo and refilling your hand with a whole new 7 cards.
