Heavy hitters (and plenty of card draw) on a budget. Deck costs ~$30 to construct and provides a nice break from complex control -> counter control games, with some good old fashion beat down. Updated: Sideboard covers local meta-game threats. Plummet (Demon of Death's Gate and other fliers), Naturalize (aura-control, artifacts & proliferation), Dryad's Favor (evasion against Elf decks), Asceticism (aura-control, direct damage, and destruction spells), Acidic Slims (just about anything, if necessary) Updated: Non-budget version -- Replaced Sylvan Ranger with Lotus Cobra to run sample hands, to help determine if it'd be worth investing in them for a casual deck.

Not very Stompy...But, I do like it all the same. One thing though, what is the deal with everyone and Sylvan Ranger? I don't think it's a very good card at all.

Hrm. You're right (about the stompy). Most of my trample didn't make it through the final cut, and I never changed the deck type. I don't know about everybody else, but for this deck Sylvan Ranger does exactly what the card sets out to do. Fetches a land, useful early to ramp or late to trigger landfall, and provides a chump blocker. I find it to be a rather efficient card. My other choices were Ondu Giant and Frontier Guide, and while I admit I would have rather a 2/4 blocker or recurring land fetch, the low casting cost was more important. I didn't want to spam up my deck with too many 3-4-5 cost cards / abilities. Quantity over quality, especially mid-late game -- I've drawn a few sample hands where the Baloth's landfall triggers Garruk's card draw, into more landfall... etc. Super sweet!
Well if it works for you then hell, who am I to say otherwise? =P And like I said, just because it isn't Stompy doesn't mean I don't like it. In fact, I like this quite a lot. =]
Thanks ^-^ Glad you like it. I've been putting a lot of decks lists lately, because I'm too indecisive to actually pick one :P Once I researched the card prices, this one jumped towards the top of my list to construct. And I only meant to remark that it really isn't stompy. Not quite horde either, but somewhere in between.
It's not too far from Stompy though, so that's a good thing =] Creature-Based is a nice way to describe it. When I think Horde, I picture a daunting amount of tokens just flooding the table opposite me in an ugly mess. =]
Wolfbriar isn't too far off from a daunting amount of tokens ;) Speaking of, Beastmaster Ascension pumps Wolfbriar's tokens after they ETB, right? So it wouldn't trigger Garruk's Packleader?
Correct.
