    OP:
    Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted here. For a little background, I'm a longtime Dragon Stompy player that was looking for something different to play at my local Legacy FNM and yesterday my mind wandered to the Scurry Oak + Ivy Lane Denizen combo. Seeing as both cards only have a single colored mana in their casting costs, I thought about how the combo could fit into a Mono-Green Chalice Aggro (Stompy) shell.

    I only had 2 copies of both Oak and Denizen, so I put together a deck that only ran 1 of each in the main and then 1 of each in the sideboard with some Living Wishes and Green Sun's Zeniths to search for them. The rest of the deck was just a hodgepodge of solid silver bullet cards and some random threats that I wanted to try out. I ran the deck at FNM with low expectations and it surprisingly went 3-0 against Lands, Burn, and High Tide. The results made me think the deck might be worth taking a look at, so I thought I'd share it here.

    Creatures:
    4x Elvish Spirit Guide
    3x Tireless Tracker
    1x Scurry Oak
    1x Ivy Lane Denizen
    1x Hexdrinker
    1x Scavenging Ooze
    1x Sakura-Tribe Elder
    1x Reclamation Sage
    1x Eternal Witness
    1x Courser of Kruphix
    1x Questing Beast
    1x Thrun, the Last Troll
    1x Nissa, Vastwood Seer

    4x Chrome Mox
    4x Chalice of the Void
    4x Living Wish
    4x Green Sun's Zenith
    3x Trinisphere
    1x Once Upon a Time
    1x Garruk Wildspeaker
    1x Vivien, Monsters' Advocate

    Lands:
    10x Forest
    4x City of Traitors
    4x Ancient Tomb
    1x Dryad Arbor
    1x Turntimber Symbiosis

    Sideboard:
    4x Leyline of the Void
    1x Scurry Oak
    1x Ivy Lane Denizen
    1x Collector Ouphe
    1x Stingerfling Spider
    1x Force of Vigor
    1x Reclamation Sage
    1x Phyrexian Revoker
    1x Dosan the Falling Leaf
    1x Karakas
    1x Thragtusk
    1x Nightpack Ambusher

    As I played it, I really started getting the feeling that there need to be more Oaks and Denizens in the main. I'm planning on bumping both up to 3 copies while removing maybe the Tireless Trackers and Nissa or Thrun. I'm also going to try to squeeze a couple copies of Endurance in somewhere between the main and side. I would have ran some in the original list, but couldn't get any copies on short notice. With the addition of Endurance I'll also probably drop the Leylines in the side for something else (maybe Chokes?). A card that has definitely performed above expectations was Garruk and I think that he might deserve a second copy in the main. The fact that he can +1 to untap sol lands is pretty nutty and allows for some really strong lines of play when he comes down. Garruk also seems to play into my thoughts that the deck seems to have a stronger manabase than Dragon Stompy tends to. Firing off Green Sun's Zenith for Dryad Arbor seems to smooth things out more than I originally thought.

    I'll probably won't get to try out an updated list for couple of weeks, but until then let me know what you think! Comments/suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading!
