READER NOTE: This is an OLD standard deck, and at a point I tried to force it into a newer standard so it could be played in RtR/Theros, so I made changes to it without keeping the actual old list, which was a mistake. RtR/Theros was dominated by Mono-Black Devotion, and this deck didn't even hold a torch at that point, but before Thero this deck was my trusty friend and partner after I played Junk Rites.

Featured Savageborn Hydra just because the art was better than Flesh / Blood .

t1: Elvish Mystic
t2: Burning-Tree Emissary , Witchstalker ,
t3: Armed from Armed / Dangerous , and Ghor-Clan Rampager . or Ghor-Clan Rampager and then Blood from Flesh / Blood
Realistically, you're going to shock or spear something to move it out of the way or use the trample as a means of removal + damage, then on your turn 4, rush in the rest. Pretty much, you're getting 2 turn fours.
If you feel spunky you can try to put the damage on a dork. You can also drive home a Gladecover Scout from turn 1 with Enchantments: Evasion, more burn, or trample removal.
(I added this as a note as I deleted my original deck, and I realized I had no explanations provided)

I went to (m14) Game Day with my Gruul Hexproof brew, after a couple minor adjustments. Top 8, 3/0. Lost to a deck I beat earlier.

(WAS $120 budget before Theros additions, and Theros cards have spiked a lot) I'm going to rebuild this tonight for Theros Game Day tomorrow. I'll report it after.
