Burning Nature... nomen est omen

First of all I found very effective when a turn 3(4) Terastodon entered the battlefield from Natural Order and I thought I should give a try this conception...

After many tryouts, I know land destruction shouldn't be an option. I do it and nothing else, or there's no point to start it.

So here we are. The basic point is to be really fast. So there's no tapped land and I put all the manadorks into the deck. Wild Growth and Utopia Sprawl still questionable, but right now I don't miss them.

In a good scenario turn 2 destruction is not so random. For land destruction I choose all the sorceries with cmc 3, above this cmc there are options with at least three type of permanents to be destroyed.

Trade is not a good option, so I get out from the deck all the cards what needs a land sacrifice as an additional cost. So in this case I can grew, and my opponent should suffer.

I tryed to gather all the creatures that fit into the conception (only one is missing, because I don't have any of them - Goblin Settler ). And with these creatures I build up a podchain. The problem was the 6th slot, but finally Brutalizer Exarch fit in.

• Actual podchain:
• 3(4x) - Cunning Sparkmage , Goblin Ruinblaster , Magus of the Moon, Squee, Goblin Nabob
• 4(3x) - Avalanche Riders, Flametongue Kavu , Ravenous Baboons
• 5(5x) - Acidic Slime, Invader Parasite , Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Ogre Arsonist , Zealous Conscripts
• 6(2x) - Brutalizer Exarch , Inferno Titan
• 7(2x) - Sylvan Primordial, Tyrant of Discord

And after all Terastodon who started this whole thing isn't in it, because little bit risky, if the opponent can solve him, the elephant horde can easily kill me...

All the creature above are for land destruction or kill manadorks. I think I haven't lost a single game, when I had Birthing Pod.

And there is one combo - as a plan "B" - with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts .
