Deck Description

Corpsejack Menace and Champion of Lambholt are the key to this deck. Get them out as quick as possible. Then build up your hydras, and use Bioshift + Corpsejack Menace trick to keep Champion of Lambholt beefed up. So long as Champion of Lambholt has plenty of counters, opponent can't block anything you throw at him. Plenty of counters on all of your creatures will stop Searing Spear and Mizzium Mortars in their tracks. Burst of Strength and Mutant's Prey can can be used to control opponent's creatures and to provide an essence of Vigilance.
