Hahahaha the name of this deck is great. Alas, I have no useful suggestions.

I really like this deck. Have you seen the recently released Nyx-Fleece Ram ? Could replace the Grizzled Leotau . (Not a big change but I just like that card.)

Yeah that would be a pretty nice flip Nyx-Fleece Ram is so much better then Grizzled Leotau and an easier summon :D

Yoked Ox would be great here.

Stamina Yoked Ox didn't make the cut due to it being a vanilla 4/4 I need some stuff to change the board state my only exception to the rule is Indomitable Ancients

I've been following yours I think since we both started ours, we should solitaire them at each other and see how they do XD

Are the return lands realy worth the slowdown? Why not temples, gates, pains or even signets?

Somberwald Sage ? For the Sylvan Primordial ? Sylvan is banned so Somberwald is a good replacement you can get out a 7 drop turn 4.

Serra Avatar + Wall of Reverence + Rhox Faithmender = Game over.

I know Serra does not fit the Meta but the other two do and with some tutors and Citanul Flute it has not been to hard for me to get out.

Also if you want to be cruel don't forget about Meekstone

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Not only just for fixing, but makes that Magnigoth Treefolk even nastier.

maybe Accorder's Shield?

Assault Formation. Doran in an enchantment that can be an all-creature pump, and plays the role of a second Wakestone Gargoyle. What's not to like?

Thanks for this list, friend! I have been planning on putting together a Big Butts deck myself, based on Doran, and this gave me the last few finishing touches on it.

Some stuff I've found that might work well for you: Silklash Spider, to deal with flying threats -- and a 7-butt is nothing to sneeze at; Perimeter Captain for a one-mana 4-butt that makes your defenders better; Abzan Beastmaster and Sultai Flayer for some of that big-butt love; Builder's Blessing and Sight of the Scalelords for some fun enchantment interactions; and Wall of Shards for a two-mana 8-butt with a relatively low downside for such a huge early play.

Admittedly, I have no practical frame of reference as I haven't played a paper game with these cards, but I'm pretty sure the theory is sound! Check them out! And thanks again!

is doran a he or she?

August 27, 2015 11:09 p.m.

TransMarx says... #23

I thought Doran had the she/her pronouns from when I played back in the day but the wiki uses he and him so I'll fix it.

bah-bammmm says... #24

i just thought it was weird that in the update you said she.
