Yeah, I tested it. It was... interesting, to say the least. Some games I got the nut draw with a turn 3 15/15 Kavu, sometime I got just a fizzle.

What do you guys think about the new Hunter's Insight from M12?

Choose target creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player or planeswalker this turn, draw that many cards.
With new Hexshroud creatures (and old ones like Silhana Ledgewalker) & free pumps (Mutagenic Growth, Invigorate), this could safely & easily draw 3-5 cards for 3 mana.
Perhaps (the other) Stompy mana base (City of Traitors, Ancient Tomb), paired with Elvish Spirit Guide could also help
Could this bring a new direction for Berserk Stompy? (evolve to Hexproof Berserk Stompy ? :)
Short answer - No.
This could create a new deck, etc. Berserk Stompy is supposed to be as is. The draw spell cannot be supported by our manabase, and Sylvan Library deals a really good job drawing cards.
Besides, we have a lot of stuff to test, as mentioned by boneclub24.

No, I think the new creature is not the main focus atm xD

Okay, I've tested the Vault Skirge > Sprites extensively, and I can say this. It honestly doesn't make a noticeable difference. Sure, there are some games you gain some decent life, but the fact that it's a 2-of makes it hardly noticeable. The thing mostly in the Skirge's favor is not being Mental Misstepable turn 1. But really, turn 1 isn't deathly important for us anyway, unless we are against combo. In which case, they probably don't pack MM.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Right. Keep Vault Skirge, then. It's not much, but fighting MM, lifelink, and not being green against perish, might end up being relevant.
What were you testing against? ^^

Zerk Thread -- Really, fun deck! ^^
I was just testing on MWS for a few weeks. Mostly Merfolk and Junk decks.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Perish. That might be the biggest reason to keep it, then.
EDIT: I'm finding the Affinity matchup to be just awful :|
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Test the list using Viridian Zealot MD... it's not much, but could help, and also against Stoneforge.
Besides, the extra SB room can be used to play Seeds.

Honestly, it's not the lack of hate cards. The best way to beat affinity is to Berserk combo them, but the problem is that the hate slows us down a little and we don't always have everything we need.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Might it be worthwhile trying it as a four of? I think I will pick some up and give it a try.
The room is tight, what would you be cutting for it? How does your list look like? How many 1 mana 2/x are you running atm?

Hex Stompy:
2 Gaea's Cradle
18 Forest
4 Gladecover Scout
4 Slippery Bogle
4 Silhana Ledgewalker
2 Dungrove Elder
4 Troll Ascetic
2 Thrun, the Last Troll
4 Rancor
4 Berserk
4 Briar Shield
6 Pump spells of choice
2 Sylvan Library
Your curve is too high. We only want 1 or 2 three drops, if any. If you want to support this, you will want something like Ancient Tomb and/or Elvish Spirit Guide. At that point you should probably be looking at Chalice Green...
Anywho, what do you guys think of this card I designed? NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REAL CARD.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Tombs might be useful, but then the dungrove elders have to go or be replaced by another copy of Thrun.
The point of this deck is to make all your opponents removal useless and thus your own pumpspells safe to play. So the deck is a little bit different than the usual Berserk Stompy deck. That's also the reason there's 20 lands instead of 17.
While the extra land will help, I still suggest you run some kind of ramp spell, maybe even Chrome Mox.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Probably not enough, but I was thinking of trying this for the extra evasion
Creatures: 22
4 Skarrgan Pit-Skulk
4 Gladecover Scout
4 Vault Skirge
4 Kavu Predator
4 Silhana Ledgewalker
2 Troll Ascetic
Spells: 22
4 Berserk
4 Giant Growth
4 Rancor
4 Invigorate
4 Vines of Vastwood
2 Sylvan Library
I would remove the Scout for Bogle. Makes us less vulnerable to Engineered Plague if nothing else.
Also, you aren't running enough land to support either Troll or Vines. I would either increase the lands or (better yet) switch the cards around a bit.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
cut the cradles, for i think it will just sit there doing nothing
if u cannot cast two or three creatures on turn two.

GSZ
