[/deck]

(Almost) All creatures all the time. I figure this will be a good fun deck that can punish the more competitive decks and be a good loaner that (with the exception of Cradle) doesn't cost a ton of
money.

I'm willing to include non-creatures, but they need to be ridiculous.

[hoeiberg]

Craterhoof Behemoth? Seems good with so many creatures. Avenger of Zendikar? Because why not? Maybe stuff like Overwhelming Stampede, for really smashing things. Idk, just suggestions.

[redthirst]

Craterhoof should be in the list - I'll move something.

[DarthStabber]

Triumph of the hordes? Seems like a nice surprise to have up your sleeve.

[DarthStabber]

What about garruk, caller of beats, archetype of endurance, and the two xenogeese?

[Dechs Kaison]

This deck is part green, so I'd never play it.

That said, I love how you've decided to counter a meta with this. I also love how you could literally flip the entire deck when you resolve Primal Surge.

With that in mind: How about Urabrask? If you have a way to give all your shit haste, I didn't see it. I really think you need something so that you can always win when that card resolves. Alternatively, Purphoros. Boom.

Sylvan Primordial has to come out, so there's at least one spot.

[redthirst]

Haven't played the deck in a while... people got the hint.

The deck won very few games, but it helped sculpt the EDH policy at my lgs:
-If redthirst is playing, it is a game of Archenemy until he's dead.
-Once redthirst is dead, everyone left can now play a game of EDH starting with a random life total between 1 and 40.

Also, the deck has Urabrask already. It also has Ogre Battledriver as Urabrask Jr.

[Dechs Kaison]

Did you ever get to resolve Primal Surge?

Sorry I missed Urabrask.

Still, Purphuros.

[redthirst]

Resolved Primal Surge a few times - it simply won the game every time.

[Loafbeef]

Lurking Predators Seems like an auto include, Beastmaster Ascension or Asceticism might not be bad ether

[redthirst]

If I still played the deck, I think I'd definitely give Predators a go.
