Stompy, mono-green themed around the great worms (Dune)! This is pretty fun to play, though it gets gimped pretty hard by a control deck. Might have to add some blue-hate, but I like the theme and don't want to lose out to it just to win ;)

Shai-Hulud herself ( Grothama, All-Devouring ) is an impressive body at 5 CMC. In practice, I'm not seeing a lot of people willing to sacrifice creatures into her for the card draw. However, since her ability affects all creatures on the board, your creatures will have an opportunity to go for glory too, and with Temur Sabertooth out with her, you can get her off the battlefield to draw off whatever amount of damage you can put in. Since there's various forms of indestructibility in this deck, you could even over-kill her for some major hand-augmentations!

The real sweet spots for this deck, again in practice, have been the incredible amount of power you can bring to bare suddenly, and Vigor . Cards like Overwhelming Stampede and Stonehoof Chieftain can do some incredible damage that, blocked or not, are game changers in this deck. Vigor messes with our goal of getting card draw off of Grothama, All-Devouring , but at what cost? 10x +1/+1 counters added to an Impervious Greatwurm ?! Yeah, worth it!

One last thing worth mentioning, the Grothama, All-Devouring combo with Stuffy Doll . You have to target a single opponent with it, but it's "unblockable" 10 points of damage! Wash, rinse, and repeat.

This deck is my first mono-green, and in fact, my first non-utility, green build - period. Green is so OP stompy and this deck very much sticks to that strength. But choices had to be made and this deck ultimately sticks to the theme very well - great worms! I hope you enjoy putting the beat-down on your EDH play group.
