Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (2 cards)

Creatures (2)

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.


Deck Description

One of my favorite decks.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated

How to Play

I use buried alive or I "forget" to pay Deranged Hermits echo cost to get him into the graveyard. Then use the reanimate spells to continuously bring him back to create more and more squirrels.

Deck discussion for Deranged Squirrels

so you are using buried alive, reanimation spells and bloodbond march for the deranged hermit aren't you?

Yep, that is the idea. I reanimate Deranged hermit to get four squirrels, then I don't pay his echo cost so I can reanimate him again and get more squirrels.

Not a bad idea! I love Deranged Hermit, abusing him used to be a favourite past-time of mine.

I defintely thin this deck needs:
Victimize : Sacrifice one Hermit or a Squirrel to bring 2 Hermits from Graveyard to play
Jarad's Orders : Put one Hermit in your hand and one in your graveyard; actually works better than Buried Alive with your Bloodbond March

Here are a few other cards you may want to consider:
Grisly Salvage: Dig for an Hermit
Defense of the Heart : Lets your opponents draw out the Hermit for you, dirextly into play.
Concordant Crossroads : Don't give them time to clear the board before you attack
Caller of the hunt
Kaysa

Other possibly fun stuff although less on-theme:
Eldrazi Monument
Coat of arms

Suggestions for cuts:
Nut Collectors (too expensive, too slow)
Grim Discovery : Feels greedy, if you sac lands into the Wrangler you should win, no need to get these back.
1x squirrel mob
2x Squirrel Nest
2x Chatter of the squirrel (at least, maybe lose them all)

Hope you drive your opponents completely nuts!

EDIT : I actually liked this concept so much I built my own version:

Thank you!

Thanks for the comments I definitely agree that victimize would work well in this deck. Plus i almost never play my nut collector so I could drop those for sure.
Thanks for the other suggestions I'll have to try some of it out.
