Deck Description

The wurms are the charm, we have accel for them but it may be not enough, that's why we have low mana cost tokens like call of conclave and Blade Spicer(populating it may be a awesome ideia for bloking, 2 or 3 first striking golens will surely kill anything.

The ideia of this deck is having powerfull duplicating creatures with flash, like the wurm and grove of the guardian so you can cast them in the opponent's end turn and having mana to populate(and protect) it in your turn.

Trostani is a hell of a catch, there is nothing better than a creature able to populate every round, this deck is designed to win without her, but casting trostani will make your enemies want to destroy her rather than your other creatures, if you can cast her and populate every round the game will eventually be yours.

Giant Adephage and Armada wurm are ultimate creatures, if the game lasts long enough for you to cast them.
Giant Adephage is a petty risky creature, it's CMC 7 for a single creature but if it can perform one successful attack you pretty much won the game.
Armada wurm is an awesome card considering it's CMC putting two wurms into play, if it can be cast. One of them may be killed with a doomblade and it's still worth it.

ALWAYS save mana to protect your tokens, if you have no tokens on the battlefield half of the deck is useless.

How to Play

In a perfect hand you would have:
One mana of each collor, at least one elf, call of conclave, wake the reflections one extra mana or elf and a wurm.

In this hand in your first round youw would place the a mana and the elf and the next round you would have enough mana to place and populate a centaur having a freaking strong second round with 2 3/3.

The wurm is supposed to be cast on the third or fourth round, for a perfect cast you will want to have a populate card(Wake the reflections, Sundering growth, Rootborn Defenses or Druid's Deliverance) in your hand.
Cast the wurm in the opponent's end turn(hopefully he wont have any mana to destroy or cancel the wurm. Now it's your turn and you have enough mana to populate your wurm, but don't do it until you opponent tries to destroy it(populate in your turn only if the opponent has a counter deck and have no mana left ,since he didn't countered your wurm, or if you have the Wake the Reflection since it isn't an instant)

In one blink of an eye you have at least two 5/5 creatures with trample, one of them ready to attack, but remember: ALWAYS leave at least one token in your battlefield to populate, or else HALF OF YOUR DECK IS USELESS.

GARRUK, PRIMAL HUNTER.
When Garruk comes into play you have two alternatives
a)YOUR SCREWD
b)THE GAME IS TIED
c)YOU'RE ALREADY WINNING

a) You're already screwd, you played garruk because you have nothing left and you will not be able to defend him. Simple, sacrifice it to buy cards, they may turn your game around, it's your best choice at this moment.

b)The game is a little hard to win, PROTECT GARRUK AT ALL COSTS, go full defensive, he'll win for you.
When you reach 6 loyalty on Garruk sacrifice him to have five or six 6/6 wurm that will win the game on their own.
But if your opponent has a flying creature, GO FULL OFFENSIVE. If your opponent won't take his flying down just to kill garruk he'll die(presuming you have one or two 5/5 wurms or 3/3 CREATURES)

c) if you are already winning don't mind garruk, his +1 and another creature can protect him enough, just keep him safe enough when he reaches 6 loyalty end the game!

NOTE: In almost all games speed is the key, don't try to let Garruk alive if you can already summon his wurms. this extra round can make you loose the game.(Supreme Verdict maybe)
