Do you like really BIG creatures? Do you like getting out really big creatures very fast? Do you like your deck to be cheap? Well this is the deck for you then. The idea is to get as many fatties onto the board as quickly as possible. Let's walk through the ideal situation.

This is a prototype so all suggestions will be very helpful. I used to run a deck like this in standard and it did extremely well, though it was a little different. People really didn't know how to handle it because it was decently outside of meta. So any suggestions would be nice.

Turn 1 Elvish MysticTurn 2 Courser of KruphixTurn 3 Surrak, the Hunt Caller Formidable trigger swing with haste for 5.Turn 4 Genesis Hydra for 5 mana, allowing us to slingshot Reverent Hunter onto the board to swing as a 9/9 with haste.

Though it may not always workout that ideal we have a lot of cards that will help setup a situation almost as good.

• Deathcap Cultivator another mana outlet that allows us a little devotion and speeds us up. Also good for trading.
• Polukranos, World Eater though not an ideal 4 drop for us. With our nykthos he can do a lot of damage and if we aren't able to find out Reverent Hunter with our hyrdra it will still add some value for us.
• Surrak, the Hunt Caller the real star of the show allows us to give our big guys haste which is why we are running 4.
• Nylea, God of the Hunt another good card we can fish out with the hydra. Also gives all our creatures trample and we will almost always have enough devotion for he to be an indestructible creature.
• Rancor and Vines of Vastwood will help us finish the game when we need that little extra push. We don't want to have our big guys out there without trample. Rancor plus Nylea, God of the Hunt should almost guarantee we will have trample. Vines of Vastwood will just help us finish the game when we need to.
• Bow of Nylea not sure it is really necessary but i have it and it gives devotion so i through it in there.

I do think i need to find some room for some removal probably so I was considering taking out the bow and polukranos. Let me know what you guys think and if there is anyway i can make this deck better.
