Hungry Hungry Hippos

[kinda]

So the orignal goal of the deck was to use the new squadron hawk card to combo with glimpse of nature/food chain. Glimpse is at least decent by itself so I decided on it and hawk at 4 of's...but food chain is terrible without glimpse...so I was thinking an e-tutor package. I'm not sure how to make the combo more frequent at a benefit to the deck.

Here's what I got:


Land: 22
1 dryad arbor
4 savannah
1 plains
1 mountain
1 forest
4 wooded foothills
4 arid mesa
3 horizon canopy
2 plateau
1 taiga

creatures: 26
4 wild nacatl
4 steppe lynx
4 loam lion
3 grim lavamancer
4 squadron hawk
4 tarmogoyf
3 qasali pridemage

combo: 12
4 glimpse of nature
3 enlightened tutor
1 food chain
1 grapsehot
1 banefire
1 umezawa's jitte
1 glory of warfare

Have you seen the currently competitive builds? They run 187 effects to fuel the combo without glimpse (think Mulldrifter)

The currently competitive builds of what?

[Combo Winter]

Build's of food chain which use mull drifter, fierce empath, imperial recuiter style cards to fuel food chain.

I have not, sounds interesting...can I get a list/link? The goal of my deck though was to have the combo secondary.

maindeck:

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Deranged Hermit
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Llanowar Elves
1 Magus of the Future
4 Mulldrifter
1 Myojin of Cleansing Fire
1 Myojin of Infinite Rage
1 Myojin of Night's Reach
2 Myojin of Seeing Winds
3 Raven Familiar
4 Wall of Blossoms

4 Food Chain
3 Opposition

9 Forest
2 Gaea's Cradle
6 Island
3 Tropical Island

Sideboard:

2 Drowned Rusalka
1 Woodfall Primus
2 Krosan Grip
4 Chalice of the Void
2 Relic of Progenitus
1 Tormod's Crypt
3 Trinisphere

i tested it a bit because i like strange decks. i cutted 1x magus of the future for one more raven familiar. sb is clearly meta oriented...i wouldnt play 4x chalice and 2x drowned rusalka, and i would increase krosan up to 3x. Very fun list, can go off usually on turn 3-4. Alt win provided by deranged opposition hardlock.

combo: 12
1 banefire


Food chain mana can only be used to play creatures so banefire wont work.

Whoops...I guess that would be a maga then...and thx for the list kiblast.
