The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
So as some of you might know, I'm an avid beast fan. Recently I had a heated discussion with a fellow player about Thunder of Hooves. He says it is a worthless card and I begged to differ.So he challenged me to build a deck that can win using Thunder of Hooves only.The conditions:1. I can not use white to give myself protection2. I can only use beast type creatures3. The deck has to be as cheap as possible4. It has to be easy to playCame up with this idea and thought it would solve the problem completely.
Play creatures until you have a solid creature base.Sacrifice them to Ravenous Baloth and gain life.Play Fresh Meat followed by Thunder of Hooves.You should win easily.

Are you limited to only Beasts? Or do things like creatures with Changeling count? How cheap is cheap? Because I'd like to take on the challenge too.

Well he told me creature type Beast only, hence why I avoided Changelings as they are all creature types. In terms of cost, he didn't specify so I was aiming below 25 dollars if possible. (since I'll have to buy it and wreck him with it to prove my point)
Cool. Give me a few hours and I'll post my take on the idea.
The money limit was a pain. Had to replace Thragtusk and Obstinate Baloth :/http://www.mtgvault.com/dedwards/decks/thunderous-hooves-2/
Yeah, hence why I opted for the Ravenous Baloth and Fresh Meat combo.
Quick update on the outcome of the challenge... 2-1 VICTORY and against Elves NO LESS!!!!The rascal thought to pull as fast one on me and created a Pauper Elf deck that was very fast. My only saving grace was Beast Within, I used it at the right time and destroyed his entire combo.First match: I was taken by surprise by his Elf deck, had no chance at keep up with him and ended up having to concede the loss. I took the opportunity to watch his moves and got the gist of his combos.Second match: Was going to turn out just like the first save for a surprise Beast Within move that essentially crippled his entire combo and left baffled at the comeback. Swung for a quick assault in my turn followed by a Thundering Hooves.Third match: We were both wary of each other's hands and played the stalling game, it was hit and miss, but a Beast Within followed by a Destructive Revelry gave me the win. (he had lost a lot of life to double Impact Tremors and a couple of attacks)I can finally say I managed to beat an Elf Deck with a Beast Deck. Will post his deck online as soon as possible.
Elves? Seriously? That's kind of like cheating after giving you those limits. Elves are always strong regardless of format. Props for wining despite the unfairness :P
Yeah well, I'm used to such underhanded cheap tricks in my community. Besides, I was expecting him to do that since he is an Elf fan and he ALWAYS beats my beast decks with his Elf Death Star deck. (Which if had used, I would simply have scooped up everything and just gone home.)Well here is what I think was his deck, he left in quiet a hurry after losing that badly to me. http://www.mtgvault.com/anon88/decks/elvish-pauper/
Ah, the satisfaction of trouncing unfair, holier-than-thou, bigots :P
