When I saw deck:07-03-15-gahiji-for-president, I thought I could do better.

The strategy is a Gahiji swarm deck. Its aim: to take advantage of pump and batallion abilities. It's similar to my deck Did Somebody Say TAJIC?!?!?, but with access to the color green.

Combos:
Hero of Bladehold + Odric, Master Tactician + Tajic, Blade of the Legion = So I have a 7/7 Tajic coming at you, plus some other stuff, and you're not allowed to block it.
Rhys the Redeemed + Trostani's Summoner = Here be hella tokens.
Saproling Symbiosis + Warstorm Surge + Wort, the Raidmother : Cast and copy a spell that gives me 2x hella creatures...and hella damage to the face of my opponent.

Massive Raid + Wort, the Raidmother : Wort works well with all the spells in here, but this is one of the nicer combos
Darien, King of Kjeldor + Essence Warden : I take damage to the face and get Soldiers that give me the life to counteract the damage
