Deck discussion for Squirrels: BFF (Big, Fat, Fast)

Where's Deranged Hermit? Even if you don't echo it, it still throws down 4 squirrels for you to overrun with the turn after. Imo, it's way better than Nut Collector. After all, by the time you have 7 mana, you're probably going to lose next turn. And even if you survive, you won't get 4 squirrels until four turns have passed by.

Also, Garruk Wildspeaker is better than Overwhelming Stampede. The Stampede is reliant on Coat of Arms for any ability whatsoever (besides +1+1 to all your creatures). Garruk can produce beasts when you need blockers.

To be honest, I chose Nut Collector purely for the purpose of generating more Squirrels. Of course, Deranged Hermit is faster but only gives 4 Squirrels. Instead of playing either of the two, I'll play Garruk instead because of its synergy with Squirrel Nest.

And Overwhelming Stampede was supposed to be Overrun. Will change.

You've got 8x Overruns now. =)

I would replace 2 for 2x Eldrazi Monument. God with his wrath and special Day is better than a handful of squirrels. That is unless they have Eldrazi to back them up.

Also, I think 2x Deranged Hermit still deserves its slot in the squirrel theme. However, I am glad you took out Nut Collector. Personally, I would go 22x with 2x additional mana accel (explore/harrow) and the 2x Deranged Hermit because of the expensive pump-up spells you're going to be running (overrun, eldrazi monument, coat of arms, garruk)

Thanks for the advice.
I put in 2x Deranged Hermit and went with 2x Rampant Growth.
I'm still undecided on the Eldrazi Monument. It's good in that it gives squirrels the evasion but is that necessary? I'm not too sure.

Still need Swarmyard.

There's no need for Swarmyard because the win-condition is supposed to be Squirrel Nest + Earthcraft, thus infinite Squirrels.

Yes, because having only one win condition is ever a good idea.
