Big, stomping, slobbering, massive-damage-dealing creatures - this is what has always drawn me to Magic. The problem with the gigantic creatures is they are normally extremely expensive (mana-wise) and hard to keep on the table once they land on the battlefield (because, really - does anyone want to get munched on by a Worldspine Wurm?). The purpose of this deck is facilitate the arrival of these monstrosities and then protect them long enough that they can lay the beatdown on an opponent.

Each card was picked with a specific purpose in mind - each of these purposes resulted in the custom categories. Most cards (especially the creatures) fulfill two (or more) purposes, but the cards are categorized as to the main purpose I chose them for the deck. The category descriptions are as follows:

Mana Ramp - 13 cards - getting more mana than I should on a turn is necessary with this deck, and I accomplish this either through searching for lands in deck or increasing the mana being produced
Card Draw - 8 cards - I know, a little light, but some of them can easily refill a hand
Removal - 6 cards - targeted removal, mostly of artifacts and/or enchantments
Board Wipe - 6 cards - creature killers on a mass scale, they typically deal massive damage to all creatures (or sometimes just those opponents control)
Big Nasty Monsters - 18 cards - this is where the big, bad monsters are (mostly)
Monster Callers - 9 cards - cards designed to cheat the casting of monsters, they (typically) reduce the cost to play the Big Nasty Monsters
Utility - 3 cards - utility pieces that don't easily fit in the other categories
Land - 37 cards - a nice mix of non-basics with multiple color options and three types of basic lands

Thoughts and/or suggestions would all be appreciated!
