Dear Mr. Opponent,

My name is Dukhara Scavenger. I'm writing this from my master's side of the battlefield. He currently is fighting you and trying to beat you with the deck that used to include me. I'm really shedding some tears for you, as getting your face eaten off by my brothers surely isn't very comfortable. They are all pretty big for how cheaply they can be cast: Baleful Ammit, Ammit Eternal and Crocodile of the Crossing appear very early and have some very sharp teeth. But they also do feel sad for you, so they keep on shedding some tears. The Ammit Eternal cries on his own and weakens himself that way, whereas Baleful Ammit and Crocodile of the Crossing share their tears with other minions of my master: Oashra Cultivator can handle some of the tears, but sometimes she either leaves to grow my master's realm, or she dies because she can't take any more crying. Channeler Initiate, another friend of me and my brothers, is exceedingly awesome in taking our tears. She even can use our tears to call more of my brothers. Sometimes, my master also uses some our tears to water the plants from his Khalni Garden, but the amount of salt in our tears is too much for them. But my master also has some other minions: Tenacious Hunter always gets very vigilant and pretty mean when we shed tears, but my master usually uses his anger to have it eat more faces off. My master's weirdest minion is the so-called Crocanura: He's always kind of jumpy and tries to cheer my brothers up. Many times, he actuallly is succesful with this and takes it as a motivational boost whenever some of my brothers show up without shedding a tear. He literally seems to become a little larger when this happens.

As I already mentioned, we all are shedding tears for you: It doesn't even help a lot if you have your creatures eat my master's face off a little, because then that mean demon Baleful Ammit can just heal my master's face by eating yours. The biggest of my master's minions are me, the Dukhara Scavenger, and my brother, the Scaled Behemoth. That dude is totally insane. He doesn't care about any eaten-off faces and just stands there looking dangerous and stuff. Such a monster.

Please, dear Mr. Opponent, don't be too mad with us. We are all very sad. But now, you must die. Bye Bye.


Crocodile tribal. Because it's possible, and because there actually are some tribal synergies. Tenacious Hunter with the -1/-1 counters is oobvious, but the most awesome synergy is Crocanura negating the -1/-1 counters being put onto it. Awesome. One more trivia: the german name of Crocanura is "froschodil", which literally translates into "frogodile". Isn't this hilarious?

Feel free to leave comments, +1s and critique. This is a budget build, but I'd love to improve it a little.
