"You look lost. You're not from around here are you? You don't want to be here after dark if you don't know your way around... The skeeters will carry you away if the trees don't first... If you plan on staying the night, you may want to get a fire going before the fog sets in so you don't lose your way."

Welcome to the woods. I've been kickin the kids around with this fun ditty for a little bit now.

It starts out as a walls/fog deck to keep opponents guessing if an attack is worthwhile in the beginning. After turn 2 and a Tinder Wall ramps into Swarmborn Giant guessing games are over. The opponent will be scrambling to get a point in just to be rid of it. Swarmy can block just about anything and live, but trade with anything at all at that point at the very least. There is a lot of old-school regeneration going on to keep blockers on the table (remember when regen didn't cost a month's salary to pull off?) and plenty of fog effects to keep those pesky evasion critters outta my cookie jar. In the late game Nissa, Worldwaker can start turning those extra forests into a huge mess the opponent has to deal with every turn, eventually pulling out every remaining one and giving me more stompy goodness than anyone really has a right to have. Alternatively, she can ramp me into a Hornet Queen fairly easily. Assault Formation makes a nice alternate win as most of my non-defender critters are squares, and that just means my walls can easily start picking off the aggro that comes my way. Originally, this deck ran 13 fog effects until I fished Dawnstrider out of a dollar-rare bin somewhere and chucked her into here turning extra lands or dead Reclamation Sage draws into more Fog. The only real threat I've had to deal with in this build so far is removal and Direct Damage. I don't generally sideboard in my casual decks, but I serspose Mortal's Resolve would find a place in a side for this one to handle that removal issue.
