Opinions?

I am personally a fan of aggro decks, so I really like the concept of this deck and without testing it I think it should play really well.

the only problem i see is that 1 overrun wont work well enough even as finisher because you dont draw cards to fetch it.. so you dont want to wait for it.. maybe add another garruk in its place.. or a forest I dont know.. i have to do a good search in the current cardpool .... havent played magic in a while xDD

The main idea is to do a quick overrun with Giantbaiting :E

If that doesn't work, there is Garruk and Overrun.

I'm piloting this deck in the standard tourney.

I'll post the playtest here :D

[Holykiller]

if that is the case.. i think another garruk would be a better choice.. because it costs less than overrun and helps your mana flow while you set up the kill..

but anyway since you're going to test it.. im going to wait for some results =]

Got the first test:

I was playing against that lark deck... so you know that happened got 0 - 2

that playtest was good, make me understand that WoG effects kill me.

Ah, good ol' Giantbaiting. I had a GB deck once. Took it apart recently, in fact, cos' it wasn't always working to my expectations. I'll see if I can remember what was in it, or if I have an old list somewhere, so I can post my build version to compare.

As for yours, I never thought of splashing Snakeform. That's quite innovative! Normally I would attribute that card with UG or Bant decks and such, but this actually quite fits the theme, while subsequently being effective! Furthermore, Gilt-Leaf Ambush would make a good addition to my Mono-green T2 Elf-Warrior deck.
