So I wanted to run a deck around the card Followed Footsteps. I loved the idea of having a token of a really strong creature come out every turn. Preferably, strong creatures that have effects when entering the battlefield. Acidic Slime can destroy a land per turn. Or even two or more depending on if I have a Paradox Haze out or not. So most of the creatures are big guys that have some kind of entering effect. Primeval Titan can get you a ton of land. And the Gyre Sage and Birds of Paradise is so the field isn't empty the first couple of turns and they can also produce that extra mana. The Populate cards come in handy as well.

This is still experimental. This is obviously super pricey and I'd have to replace the Mox Opal and Lotus Petal with something cheaper in terms of $. And the artifact lands were only in there to compliment the Mox Opal, so those won't be there in the final product, most likely.

Any other ideas to go with Followed Footsteps or other creatures that work better? Let me know! And I know I have to cut down the library size. I'm working on it.

When I playtest it, it usually goes pretty well. Land drops quick with the help of Sol Ring and the other artifacts. Gyre Sage on turn 2. Thragtusk by turn 3 or 4. Let Followed Footsteps do the work from there.
