Building this deck has been an absolute blast. It's partially inspired by a Naya beasts deck a friend of mine used to run when I was still a noob. I loved the idea of pounding someone's face in with big creatures and this is the deck to do that with. This is by no means a final iteration - suggestions are greatly appreciated. Mainboard reflects current decklist - it will probably change frequently as I test various cards.

Obviously the theme of this deck is ramp into creature cheating. There are some really fun combos - especially if you can get off an entwined Tooth and Nail or Wild Pair sticks.

General strategy - you obviously do NOT want many/any fatties in your opening hand. Early game should be passive ramping. My play group has learned not to let Mayael the Anima stick around - protecting her is very key. As I'm playing more of it I'm realizing this deck still needs more trample, double strike and/or first strike to assist in running over people. Probably also some boardwipes.

Fun cards/combos:

Avacyn, Angel of Hope + Archetype of Endurance - best defensive Tooth and Nail pull in the deck. Near-complete board lock save for mass exile or "bottom of library" effects.

Gisela, Blade of Goldnight - I absolutely love this card. Gisela is awesome at giving you that extra push to just run over someone. I find myself grabbing her very frequently as that double damage combos incredibly well with tons of cards in this deck.

Seedborn Muse + Mayael the Anima, Quicksilver Amulet, or Elvish Piper - now you get to cheat a creature out every turn at instant speed!

Defense of the Heart - just watch the panic set in as they try to kill off their creatures. Then grab Blightsteel Colossus and Xenagos, God of Revels and oneshot whoever succeeded.
