Restoring the old deck, made a new deck page —Sept. 14, 2013
I am bringing the original version of this deck back, and labeling what this will no longer be as a separate deck by the name of deck:Spawn of Voracious Hunger.
Scavenging Ooze might fit well as well since it can give you a small life gain on demand for the late game wurm draws. Also Fiendslayer Paladin fit fit better then the loxy for the lifelink, but you do lose some on the P/T a wash either way I think. look like fun when it goes off tho!

Hmm, replacing loxy with the paladin does seem like a good idea since he has first strike and he's basically murderproof. If I slap an unflinching courage on him, I have a 4/4 first strike lifelink trample that is murderproof. I think I will replace 2 loxies with 2 paladins.

Advent of the Wurm would fit in perfect as a cheap large creature that also will benefit completely from Trostani, Selesnya's Voice .

Like I said, I'm trying to steer away from tokens if at all possible for the fact that they can be removed with the flip of a switch(or the ratchet of a bomb, if you catch my meaning). Thank you for the suggestion and the +1!

Primeval Bounty seems like a good late game possibility here.

I thought about that when I made this deck, but since I don't use tokens too much, I don't spam creatures. The majority of my deck is creatures, so the second ability isn't too helpful, and I only run 21 lands, so the third isn't great either. If I am dragged late enough to where a 56/56 wurm with trample can't solve my problems, then none of the abilities on Primeval Bounty seem too useful. Thanks for the +1 and the comment though!

Nice deck idea. Have you thought about using Savage Summoning ? On your opponent's end step just play Heroes' Reunion + Savage Summoning + Voracious Wurm . That could prevent some of creatures from being countered, but it might be too slow.

Thanks, I really like this idea too, a t3 9/9 is just too hard an opportunity to pass up. I don't really think savage summoning is a good idea because it just seems like a "win harder" kinda thing, you know? And it would drain my hand quite a bit too. Thanks for the comment and the score, and good luck in your endeavors.

Enlarge is a good way to pump up the wurm more. Enlarge Voracious Wurm then swing with it and a Kalonian Hydra Bam game over.

@JXB
Enlarge is great for midrange, but the mana is just a tad redank for something that isn't a permanent.

It would behoove me to have flying creatures in this deck, actually, even if they are tokens. I will add angelic accord. I don't know what to remove for it though, what do you suggest?

I would consider Advent of the Wurm it would combo nicely with a late worm. I know u don't want tokens but u already have conclaves. Plus late game u could drop a 5/5 trample worm gain 5 life with trostani, drop a 7/7 voracious wurm gain 7 life, trip angelic accord. So a 5/5 trample 7/7 4/4 flyer and 16 life (5+7+4). And u can populate the 5/5 trample with trostani for 3 land which would trip trostani life gain and angelic accord. So for 3 mana u get 5/5 trample 4/4 flyer and 9 life

Indeed, there would be HILARIOUS token shenanigans, but if the tokens raise too much attention by relying on them for late game, their weaknesses will be exploited. I would rather stick to things that continue to exist even if someone detention spheres them or returns them to my hand.

I don't like the Orzohv charm in there, I think Selesnya Charm would be a much better fit into the deck.

With the amount of life I gain in this deck, it doesn't even matter. There are so many threats in standard right now that don't have a lot of P/T, so this is a great kill card. Can't tell you how many times I wish I could have Selesnya Charm 'd an Olivia Voldaren , so Orzhov charm will do the trick by killing her, and I lose a measly 3 life in the process.

@A_Magikarp
Nah, this deck is good and solid for now, thanks for the suggestion. I don't think I will do the angelic accord for the fact that tokens can get ratched bombed and I want to do selesnya and lifegain without veering into tokens.
