When I found Blight Mound, I immediately wanted to make a pest tribal deck. Unfortunately Blight Mound is illegal in modern, but I still wanted to go through with the pest tribal. At the same time I wanted to try a "learn" deck since I thought the system was interesting. And what do you know, both of these strategies just so happen to work together.

I'm actually really surprised at how strong the synergy in this deck is considering I threw it together in an hour or two and it ended up this good. It's all about generating as many pests as you can, buffing them, and abusing the life gain effect to drain your opponents life.

The biggest drawback to this deck I've found is the centuars that Hunted Horror makes since they have protection from black, making them almost impossible to deal with. Any suggestions for cards that have high power and low cmc (prefferably 3 or less) that can replace Hunted Horror would be appreciated.
