FNM week 1 —March 29, 2013
I went 4-0, got first out of 16 people, and won $32.
Round 1: 2-1 (R/W/U control with tons of enchantments and Invisible Stalker.)
First game he was manna screwed and I ran him over with Predator Ooze. Second game he exiled my Primordial Hydra and hit me with a 6/4 flyer and that had double strike to finish me off. Third game he was manna screwed again and i killed him with Primordial Hydra.
Round 2: 2-0 (Izzet burn mill.)
First game he only got 2 mana in 5 turns and I easily won. Second game he had like 3 mana in 4 turns but i was just too fast beat him with Essence Harvest with an 8/8 Primordial Hydra.
Round 3: 2-1 (All colors. Based around Unexpected Results. Also had Omniscience in there.)
First game I destroyed two of his Thragtusk and wiped him out with 2 Essence Harvest and a 7/4 creature. Second game he got Omniscience and Supreme Verdict 3 times. I couldn't keep out enough creatures. Third game I beat him in four turns with a 12/12 Primordial Hydra that I Essence Harvest.
Round 4: 2-0 (Gruul with Thragtusk and Thundermaw Hellkite.)
First game I was able to Essence Harvest twice for 6 and swing for 6 after he swung with a Thundermaw Hellkite. Second game i was down to 3 health and I had him at 6. Corpsejack Menace was on the field and he didn't play anything to block it. I put 2 Rancor on him and swung for 8 to win my first tournament.
I'm really happy with that turn out especially defeating 2 Thragtusk decks.
I feel like this deck needs more natural evasion. OR you should turn it into a combo deck with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and fling your massive creatures at people. Just an idea.

Deadly Allure seems unnecessary since your creatures should be giant raging beasts anyway. And since Rancor is the only way you have of giving them trample you don't really want them to be blocked. Somberwald Sage also seems like something you might consider playing around with.

I found some cards that you might want to consider:
Deathrite Shaman - It's amazing. 'enough said
Dreg Mangler - 3/3 with haste for three that you can scavenge later. Seems legit.
Lotleth Troll - can discard creatures with scavenge to boost this dude. Also has trample and regenerate for 2. Seems good.
Golgari Charm - This spell will save your creatures from death just as well as Sheltering Word but also has added versatility.
Experiment One - 1/1 for one with evolve and regenerate. I feel like he might scale out of control late game.
Crowned Ceratok - All my things with counters have trample? Uhm, yes?
p.s. sorry to be spamming your comments. o.0

That's alright dude. I appreciate the suggestions. I don't think i can run 3 colors. It was white, green, and black at first. That was only for Common Bond and Mikaeus, the Lunarch. I thought about Experiment One, but i have so many 1/1 creatures that i don,t feel it is worth having. Golgari Charm is good but it can't protect creatures from Angelic Edict. Dreg Mangler was in my sideboard but i thought his scavenge cost was too high. Not sure about Lotleth Troll. As for Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, I could just use Dying Wish then Murder my own creature. Crowned Ceratok will be strongly considered for this deck. Deathrite Shaman doesn't really fit this deck all too well in my mind.

Similar deck to your own, with a few cards you may want to consider adding.

I've been play testing Pulpit Police against this deck and beating it consistently. I feel like this deck needs blue, and more specifically Master Biomancer + Corpsejack Menace seems really strong to me.
