Friends, rodents, quadrupeds, lend me your rears! (Standard MTG Deck)

Friends, rodents, quadrupeds, lend me your rears!

Standard* Budget BUG (Sultai) Enchantment

Heajos

Gravy (10)

Mana (22)

Meat (17)

Potatoes (11)

Sideboard

Other (15)

This is a cool/cheap deck that I came up with. I know it's been done before, but I pulled it all together and test played it with some great results.

This deck is almost never expected (which is why I think it's so good).

Benthic Infiltrator is disgusting in this build. An unblockable 4 damage with ingest as long as Assault Formation is on the field. 5 or more damage if a Tide Drifter or 2 are by its side.

THEN you slap on a Shape the Sands and make someone REALLY frustrated. Actually, most of the time they just laugh because it's so ridiculous. I have a blast playing this deck and I think you should try it.

Sideboard is mostly counter-magic for enchantment hate and some life gain for the burn matchup.

Long story short: This deck heavily relies on Assault Formation. I get out low cost creatures and use assault formation to make their attack equal their toughness. Cake.

Let me know what you think!

As always, thank you for checking it out!

Blessings

Josh

Edit

I tried Thing in the Ice ^Flip as a 4-of. It's really an awesome card, but my board-state was 99% more threatening without it. It flips and returns everything aside from itself to their owners hands. Sure, that leaves me a solid 8 damage, but I have way more success with a board full of creatures swinging from different angles. I dig the card a lot, just not so much in this build.
