Hardened Scales for Pioneer. New brew to use some pet cards (scales and constrictor)

12 One drops and heavy green mana access to start with one of these. While scales is not the best T1 play, it supports Hangerback Walker as follow up.

Turn 2 has many strong plays. If turn 1 had a one drop, Constrictor is good. Cankerbloom has other strong synergies.

Turn 3 we top out at Bloated Contaminator. Ideal curve is Pelt/X1, Constrictor, Contaminator to get a 5/5 and board presence.

Nissa is a great plan 2, not to mention crazy on T4 after Contaminator.

The deck has a secondary energy theme. Glint-Sleeve Siphoner is great as another T2, and drawing another card turn 3 can keep the grip full.
