Comments are more than welcome!! I'd like to keep it Standard and affordable.
Goal is to land ramp... Obviously. It's a little slow for tournament play --- but pretty fun in my group of friends (not to mention it's nice and cheap).
Pump out lands with Farseek,
Caravan Vigil
, and Boundless Realms. Abundant Growth for utility mana and card draw. Garruk's Packleader also helps with card draw later on.
Dawntreader Elk is a great early-game card with a lot of utility.You can use it as a chump block, sac it for the free land, then
Undying Evil
it to make it a 3/3 with the ability sac it again for another land. Not to mention it triggers morbid!
Murder is used for early game protection.
Jarad's Orders helps you find the high power creature you might need --- or if you are still land-hungry you can search for another Dawntreader Elk. Regardless of what you add to your hand, you can always add
Deadbridge Goliath
to your graveyard for its scavenge ability.
Elderscale Wurm
helps keep you alive in messy situations.Worldspine Wurm destroys your opponents.
Undying Evil
if it's going to die. Get three 5/5s and keep your 15/15.Sylvan Primordial helps slow your opponents down; plus more land ramp for you, plus Reach for enemy fliers.
Alpha Authority to protect your creatures when you get them out. This is especially good with Elderscale Wurm. Makes it very difficult for you to lose health past 7.
