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.

Questions? Suggestions? Comments? Feedback would be awesome.
