Somewhat budget, very powerful, needs...something to really get the fire going though. There are times when it can just swing with the little guys, so I've added in a gavony and a few g/w duals.

Take out the duals and add in forests and it's less than $45 and runs pretty much as well.

The deck is basically genesis wave, the deck, while being stupid about a 4th turn essense and 3 or 4 more on the 5th turn. Lead the stampese and genesis wave give me massive board position and card advantage and if plan A doesn't work. Plan B is a gavony from turn 3 to turn 5 and I have 5 or 6 3/3's

Plan c is skinshifter and pray, but I rarely have to resort to that because I cycle through cards so quickly. Essense finds himself in no time.

Almost garanteed at least 4 or 5 essense of the wilds on the 7th turn.
