Basic, fast, and fun. Small cheap creatures which get pumped up massively with little mana. Tons of life gain and creature abilities that scale well with bigger creatures (trample, provoke, first strike, etc.). I know I need better creatures but I'm looking for suggestions that would fit well.PLEASE NOTE: I do not, and will not, use any cards that were created after Scourge. I only use cards that existed prior to the start of Mirrodin. (I know this is stupid but it's my one and only rule.)Any suggestions would be great.
Turn one: any 1/1 for 1 creatureTurn two: add predatory hunger and spirit linkTurn three: add armadillo cloakBy now at the very least you have a 3/3 trample, double gain life with first strike, flying or provoke as well. Even bigger if the opponent has played creatures in turns 2 and/or 3.Everything else just scales from there. Get aluren and recycle out by turn six and you can pretty much cycle through your entire deck super fast - even on your opponent's turn!

You might get some good mileage from Rancor. Also, these aren't as easy on mana, but might fit into your build: Ancestral Mask Rabid Wombat If you like those, they could go well with: Briar Shield Seal of Strength Rancor (as above :P) Maybe some defence via Crawlspace or Meekstone + some vigilance. Creature ideas: Mystic Penitent Skyshroud Falcon Albino Troll Tempting Wurm (if you dare) Jungle Lion Mtenda Lion Tethered Griffin Savannah Lions

Thanks for the suggestions! :) Actually rancor was always a thought in my mind, but it's like $3 per card and have a lot of enchant creatures already - maybe I could swap out two predatory hungers for 2 of those... hmmm... Ancestral mask is another great idea I'll definitely have to consider - didn't even think about that and how many enchantments I have lol. Rabid wombat is a good idea, but too expensive cmc-wise. my only creature above 3 is my forgotten ancient and I'd like to keep it that way. Meekstone doesn't work in this deck. My creatures get huge and that would not be good. Crawlspace is an idea, but I'm gaining a lot of life anyway so I'm not too concerned with early counter attacks. Now as for the creatures:Mystic penitent - I rarely get threshold but the vigilance is a neat idea. Sideboard materialSkyshroud falcon - this one was already on my radar, I just haven't pulled the trigger. What should I toss?Albino troll - the echo cost screws with this deck hard. Can't afford the loss of land use.Tempting wurm - oh so tempting lol. too much of a risk though. I need my early game advantage.Jungle Lion/Mtenda Lion/Savannah Lions - all good weenies but if you take a look, all of mine have really good secondary abilities. The extra one power on these just doesn't do it for me.Tethered griffin - great card but can't be played turn 1. at the very earliest a turn 2 card, and I don't like risking to lose a creature because of a disenchant or something stupid like that.I had some other creatures I was pondering about as well, maybe you could give me your opinion on those (see updated sideboard):beloved chaplainchieftain en-dalchlorophantdiving griffinelvish archersfemeref archerskjeldoran skyknightlongbow archermirri, cat warriornoble pantherpaladin en-vecsilver knighttundra wolveswhite knightI am weary of using creatures with multiple same colour casting costs like white knight because I've bad problems with mana fixing in many of my previous games and I was stuck with those cards in hand. What do you think? What would you change?Also, thank you for actually taking the time to read my note about not using cards past scourge. You are one of the very few people who actually cared enough to do that without criticizing me so I really appreciate it.
