This deck is my take on a Hardened Scales deck, mixed a bit with Mono Green Stompy.

Through testing so far it can get very difficult for your opponents to handle very quickly. I removed 2x Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and threw in an extra Collected Company and Rancor . This makes it a bit more aggressive. I miss popping Nissa's -2 with Hardened Scales for counter shenanigans, but I decided I like the idea of more early aggression through Rancor , and being able to have a chance at yet another Collected Company to really flood the board. I still like the idea of Nissa in here, so she may see a return.

Every creature is hit by Collected Company , which is awesome. Getting CoCo off twice in a row on turn 4/5 can be quite devastating if they do not have a board-wipe handy.

Very fun deck. I usually throw Rancor on a Dungrove Elder , which can be devastating as your opponent cannot deal with it. Rancor also helps out with early agression on Experiment One , or to make Steel Leaf Champion even more of a threat. Also helps on a Scavenging Ooze that has been pumped up. Over-all Rancor offers us even more outlets with trample.

Vines of Vastwood helps with staving off removal or pumping my creatures with trample.

Managorger Hydra and Scavenging Ooze just get silly with Hardened Scales on the field, and Avatar of the Resolute for 2 mana often shows up as a monster late game due to the amount of counters on the field.

Let me know what you guys think! Suggestions welcome!
