This is a tweaked Commander 2013 Nature of the Beast. Mayael is the Commander and there are enough big creatures that I've not yet missed out in the looking at top five cards to bring something out. Wild Pair has a friend for most each card, the Garruk's Horde + Giant Adephage ; Krosan Tusker + Xenagos, God of Revels ; etc. Ravenous Baloth and Druid of the Anima are anomalies here, but the life gain potential is important in most longer games and the early mana ramp may be of use. The Druid may not survive revisions though. I will be making room for Awakening, and maybe Seedborn Muse to maximize tap effects -- Mayael the Anima; Contested Cliffs; Kor Haven; Slayers' Stronghold; Magus of the Arena; Bow of Nylea; Druidic Satchel; Quicksilver Amulet; and Spawning Grounds -- there are a fair number of tap effects, so it's not Commander tunnel-vision. If you are looking to end the game and Wild Pair is out do not be tempted to go Craterhoof Behemoth right away. There are a ton of 5/5 creatures, so grabbing Avenger of Zendikar first to get all those 0/1 tokens would make them all the happier when X are swinging as gross with Trample. Relentless Assault should be more powerful in this deck than any Fireball. There are enough basic land fetch to justify putting as many basic lands as possible and still get your colours. Sprouting Vines will be replaced with Reap and Sow due to getting any land and offering an Entwined effect that beats out Storm in my opinion. There is a fair amount of Artifact and Enchantment hate, some of it Exiling to reflect the cards that are out. Silence is on the fence, but beats out Orim's Chant by affecting all your opponents so as to allow for that Relentless Assault finisher. I tend to cheat my cards out whenever possible (even if Wild Pair is out) due to feeling like it's a free card/creature that I didn't need to draw. With so much board wipes Greater Good is mainly there to make use of things that would have died anyway. You may use it for card ramp though since getting 5/5s (2 card net, not to mention filtering what you didn't want to cast anyhow) out in this deck is easy. Feldon's Cane + Jokulhaups is tempting due to having so many attractive Enchantments, but I'm not sure what the table's reaction would be, feel free to comment on this. This is a Commander 2013 deck tweaked with DeriumsCCGs' General EDH: Nature of the Beast improvement on a budget (under $20) youTube video adjustments, then Sean McKeown's Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck was mined for lands, as was Gavin Verhey's Wild Gruul deck as I have picked those both up over the years. Some other minor edits and that's how we got here.
