---

This is a fun little Doran deck, built to be a good version of the cheap casual aggro/beatdown Doran, the Siege Tower Commander deck.

OK, here's how the deck works: Doran and some other big, efficient folks hit people. They go through because every creature with a toughness higher than 3 is dead or tapped.

Clearing the Way: Power-hate, targeted removal, and other things that get stuff out of the way
Retribution of the Meek // These first 4 are all 1-sided creature wipes.
Fell the Mighty
Wave of Reckoning
Solar Storm
Meekstone
Crackdown // MAYBE. A worse Meekstone, but I might make room for it.
Mortify
Putrefy
Return to Dust
Rootgrapple
Golgari Charm
Luminate Primordial // Creature removal on an enormous butt.
Naturalize and Strip Bare // SIDEBOARD. Situational but cheap and useful.

Things that Hit Other Things: Doran says "wield your heart" but I think we really need to wield... our BUTTS
Doran, the Siege Tower
Indomitable Ancients // Big and dumb and cheap. I can't resist. A possible cut.
Jareth, Leonine Titan // His Protection effect gets him through those wipes.
Luminate Primordial // An enormous butt, plus creature removal.
Pontiff of Blight
Sapling of Colfenor // sogood.gif
Silklash Spider // Die, fliers!
Skinshifter // It's a really cheap 8/8.
Thornling // Can duck the creature wipes.
Tree of Redemption // A possible cut.
Timber Protector // Indestructible Treefolk yes please.
Unstoppable Ash // Go ahead and block, asshole. See what it gets ya.

Creature Buffs: Equipment and Auras first, then the rest.
Bear Umbra
Eland Umbra
Rancor // Reusable and cheap! ... A possible cut.
Shield of the Oversoul // It's for Doran.
Ensouled Scimitar
Slagwurm Armor
Swiftfoot Boots
Whispersilk Cloak
Oathsworn Giant // A possible cut, as good as he is here.
Assault Formation // Doran in a can, plus the Rolling Stones effect.
Brave the Sands // The reason why I'd consider cutting Oathsworn Giant.
Dauthi Embrace // This is good evasion, plus it lets me interfere in other peoples' combats.
Primal Rage // A possible cut.
Rolling Stones // Makes walls go. A possible cut, esp. since there's Assault Formation and Wakestone Gargoyle .
Spidersilk Armor
Belbe's Armor // Firebreathing... for your butt. Also lets me duck something under one of the wipes.
Tower Defense

Ramp:
Cultivate // Kodama's Reach is a maybe, if I need more.
Utopia Sprawl // SWAP for Birds of Paradise when I get one.
Abzan Banner
Sol Ring
Golgari Cluestone
Axebane Guardian + Overgrown Battlement // The mana gained keys off of number of Defenders.

Other Stuff:
Wall of Omens + Wall of Blossoms // Good in general, better here.
Crenellated Wall // A possible cut.
Totem-Guide Hartebeest // For fetching Bear Umbra or Shield of the Oversoul . A possible cut.
Vhati il-Dal // He makes enemies into 1/1s. He can also save a high-power creature from a board wipe.
Necrogenesis // Suck it, dead guys.
Pestilence // Suck it, tokens.
Increasing Ambition // Hey, a tutor!
Profane Command // Does so many useful things! It removes, it ducks, it damages, it revives!
Remember the Fallen // Things I love will die. A possible cut.
Rebuff the Wicked // NO ONE EXPECTS THE ABZAN COUNTERSPELL
Colfenor's Urn // Fun! On-theme! ... A possible cut.
