Hi there,

This is a deck I've thrown together after falling in love with the idea of swarming the enemy with bees through the use of Hornet Queen and Hornet Nest. The premise of the deck is reasonably simple, it ramps like pretty much any green decks, gets out Purphoros, God of the Forge. And then proceeds to burn you with swarms of bees.

Cards like Heat Ray and Setessan Tactics can be used for either removal or to exploit the Hornet Nests for even more bee related goodness.

I have tried to keep this deck "rotation proof" as I've only just started magic and would rather not spend money on cards that rotate out in a month.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.
