Made for a site competition. No rares.
It's so cheap to build, it's ridiculous. But how cheap is it?
It's so cheap, our main engine is ramp, but we couldn't afford mana dorks. It's so cheap, that I imagine most of our defense will consist of taking damage on the chin because we can't afford to lose attackers. It's so cheap, when you're done using it you leave the money on the nightstand. All $8 of it.
edit: Actual how to play notes if anyone ever takes a look at this outside the competition.
Jaddi Offshoot is meant to help us survive to the later turns (4-5 is when we really can get rolling). If you have it opening hand, you generally can make it to the meat of the deck.
Vessel of Nascency is to loot for stuff. You want Zendikar's Roil or Retreat to Emeria. If you have one/both out grab Blighted Woodland if at all possible. Or you know, whatever we happen to need.
Snapping Gnarlid is our main attack engine. It's pretty crazy how big he can get. Pair him with Sigil of Valor and make him the token army's champion.
Our win-con is mostly to swing with a bunch of creatures. Hopefully they let it stall, and we can outproduce their blockers. Then we can either
A). Pump everyone and swing in with Joraga Invocation.
B). Swing and do +2 damage for everyone that gets through with Inspired Charge.
-or-
C). Swing with a giant army and let one of the unblocked hit for a lot more than 1 or 2 with Might of the Masses.
To be completely honest, by turn 8 you can probably do all 3.
