Deck Description

I like biggy green combat but I don't like when a 1/1 token blocks my 18/18 creature, so I made a deck with creatures who all have "assign its combat damage as though it weren't blocked." I remember the first time I was attacked with a Thorn Elemental, it was by a close friend of mine named Damon Lard, I felt helpless and he kicked my ass to boot. Once more creatures with that ability came out, I made this deck.

I like the fact that the deck is very inexpensive costing less than $20.

How to Play

The idea is to start with mana accelerator enchants (Wild Growth & Overgrowth) to get creatures down as soon as possible; then buff the creature with enchants (Ancestral Mask & Blanchwood Armor) and attack. Beyond that, a few of the enchants (Keen Sense & One with Nature) help to accelerate the progression of the deck with land fetching and card draw.

Deck Play Flow:
1st - Wild Growth
2nd - Overgrowth
3rd - Lone Wolf or Pride of Lions + an aura
4th - more creatures or more auras and that's game over

The sideboard is for added defense with the lost of accelerators (Keen Sense or One with Nature). The Instill Energy & Nature's Chosen allow you to untap after attacking so you can block.
