Uses Fiend Artisan to get early big creature, but also tutors scute swarm. Fabled passages with scute swarm can ramp quickly, and Ancient Greenwarden allows those to be activated multiple times. Can ramp scutes very quickly. Archfiend's Vassal can be sacked early to get Scutes, but then later brought back with Orah, triggering the 5/5 flying demon. Also Archfiend's Vassal can be pumped early with Duskfang Mentor. Bronzehide Lion gives a cheap 3/3 which can later be sacked and then offers protection to another creature. Maya can pump the insects, create humans, and works well with Kudro which will pump many cards and tokens and also allows for some control. Excavation Mole helps buff Fiend Artisan and anything good can be brought back with Acolyte of Affliction. Might throw in my Auriok Champion for casual play.
