Well, if you really mean it about the 'no budget', then, may I suggest card:Gaea's Cradle?

On the one hand, my wallet just cried. On the other hand, I love the card. Gonna put it in my Maybeboard, just to hold on to the idea a bit more readily until I have the money specifically set aside for it.

I'd suggest Anger , always nice to have big hastey tramplers, and a Brawn can't hurt. I'd consider changing out the Traitorous Instinct for a Grab the Reins , in EDH the +2 power will rarely be the difference between winning and losing and the entwine option is great damage and removal for late game. Spawnwrithe would also be nasty in this deck. Overwhelming Stampede would be a nice win con for you.

Also it looks like you have 1 card to many, you should have 99 main deck cards plus the general to make it an even hundred. Overall a decent looking deck.

Fixed the count by removing Death by Dragons . I thought the card count included the Commander as well. So when it said 100, I figured I was spot on. Thanks for the pointer. Thanks as well for the pointers, I'm going to look into getting my hands on those cards as well.

Just curious, if anyone happens to read here / recheck this, do y'all think there is enough token and counter fun to warrant adding a Doubling Season ? I mean, Doubling Season + dieing Worldspine Wurm alone would create 6 5/5 tokens, which is 30 damage on the attack next possible chance (42 damage if Stonebrow is out)

You got a lot of wurms. might i suggest card:Descendants' Path for a faster Worldspine Wurm its relatively cheap. also Defense of the Heart is about 10ish but its amazing to put out both Worldspine Wurm and Wurmcoil Engine for the lulz

I'm sorry for the constant posting, but there's no edit or delete feature for posts that I can find. I just noticed a better version of the combo above to ask about:

Doubling Season + Worldspine Wurm + Fling : Fling the Worldspine Wurm for 15 damage and put 6 5/5 Wurm Tokens only the battlefield. Plus, the Worldspine Wurm shuffles happily back into my library.

Parallel Lives is cheaper with mana and money so it'll help get you started and also card:Soul's Fire is fun with him too. swing and fire for 30

Mage Slayer , for the beastiness. Also, Avatar of Slaughter or Rage Reflection . (Rage Reflection is probably your better choice, obviouisly.)

In addition, i'd just like to point out that with 7 land out, Hellkite Charger combos with either Bear Umbra or Sword of Feast and Famine for infinite combat steps.

I feel like Primal Rage should be in the deck because of your general.

SplodyCopter says... #15

you could also probably pull off Primal Surge as is, and with Planar Portal and some tweaking, you could abuse the HELL out of it.

Vivid Crag and Vivid Grove are too slow for 2-color decks. Even cards like Shivan Oasis and the upcoming Gruul Guildgate will be better, and they aren't even that good.

Rootbound Crag and Kessig Wolf Run should definitely be in here. Stomping grounds is also very good, but it's more expensive than the other two.

I like Mystifying Maze a lot in EDH. There are a lot of goofy things you can do with it.

Gruul War Plow is awesome for Stonebrow.

Check out my older Stonebrow deck I used to play: Stonebrow, Krosan Asskicker. It hasn't been updated for a number of months, but it has a lot of the staples for this kind of deck.

Just wanted to update everyone, I have a Brawn , Anger , Blitz Hellion , and Ulasht, the Hate Seed currently being shipped to my house. I'm thinking about making this deck mostly Wurms, Hellions, and Hydras, so that I can make the most use, or abuse, out of card:Descendants' Path (I believe my fiance has a copy, but I'm not certain).

My next big hunts will most likely be for Bear Umbra and Sword of Feast and Famine for the infinite combat step combo. In regards to the Vivids, I see myself changing them out soon for Mosswort Bridge and Spinerock Knoll .

As a question of opinion, is there a home for Mossfire Egg in this deck? It seems like a nice color lens, though I can't really decide.

you have to remember this is EDH which requires a lot more strategy than say modern. i may have missed it cause i just skimmed quickly but i am not seeing any combos.you also do not have a very strong mana base duel land, shock lands, and fetch lands are your friends. the Gaea's Cradle would be a great start to fixing that. I think you should also look into tooth and nail And possibly kiki-jiki

What's the best way to find combos? Just sit around gatherer long enough?

December 6, 2012 8:41 p.m.

saltyk says... #20

you could google them or search the fourms some good combos to start would be card:Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Avenger of Zendikar (or any other guy who makes tokens) oror even consider switching generals to Riku of Two Reflections this guy can be deadly

oh and a Tooth and Nail is a staple in green decks

Good luck affording a Tooth and Nail if the entire rest of the deck only costs $90.

Nice combo. Took a bit of thinking it out to see how it would work. Could also tie together well with your previously mentioned Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker as well.

You can get some really good budget cards for your deck. Rapacious One Overwhelming Stampede You can also take a look at my current mono red budget deck to get some ideas on how to make red work without spending a fortune. Diaochan's Burning Adventure This deck is competitive during casual multiplayer games with decks 7x more valuable than itself.
