Blah blah blah Standard (couz its me) Stompy deck. Was very tempted to

I'd say swinging for 145 damage in one turn is pretty much stompy enough. (And yes, that 145 damage was in standard tournament play.)

I had posted this deck a while ago, but i figured it fit well enough.

Congratz to raggedjoe for entering the wonderful world of Stompy :D

Well done dude. I hope you find, like I have, that once you build one Stompy, it's like riding a bike, and you start being able to build them with ease.

I warn you though. You too will now start seeing decks wrongly called stompy...and it will bother you. :(

Need MOAR Stompy! :mad:

It has some stompy cards in it, but it isn't stompy...Right now it's just big huge green fatties. =/ You can take a look at my post on DedWard's profile (or I can post it here). It's a pretty helpful explanation of Stompy. Also you can check out any of mine or raggedjoe's stompys. They should give some ideas of how these decks look, and there's a lot of helpful conversations in the comments sections.

You have been given a backhand, but not a "knock-you-on-your-ass" one. You seem to have potential...so I'm gonna try and help you out. :D

Actually, yeah. It's much different that most I've seen, but it IS a stompy deck. Nice job!

Here is my legacy stompy deck I've had built for years..... its always served me well.

I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a stompy deck.

Hey don't meantion it dude. Seeing actual stompy decks just brightens up my day. :D

When I get more free-time, I'll probably design an Elf tribal Stompy. (harder than you'd think)

:D stompy enough?

I've used this deck a bunch at FNM with surprisingly good results, although no first places sadly =(

I usually run into one or two games where I don't draw into one of my big guys, but I've been satisfied enough with the results!

Well that's an awesome deck, but not stompy. That's a really nice turbo-land/mana deck. It does its job, but sorry...it isn't stompy =/

Hehe, yeah not bad. I'm looking to make mine with Mul Daya Channelers. I never really noticed how Stompy they are! With deck thinning and an 18 lander that's a frequent 5/5 for 3 mana! ELF! :D

This is my current stompy decklist i am playing it seems pretty solid with what i play against in my groups meta game.

Hmmm...It's pretty strange. You must have a lot of controlly people in your playgroup. I'm not a huge fan of the swords...or equipment in general for Stompy. I would personally put them into a different deck (because they are good) and lower down to 20 lands...23 is a lot for the stuff you can play in this deck.

So that'll put you at 6 cards that you can do cool stuff with. I say, try to add in some little dudes like Scute Mob or something since they'll help you with your Khalni Hydras.

And a last thing, I've never really got the appeal of Summoning Trap. If it does wonders for you, then sure, it works, but in my honest opinion...it's more sideboard stuff.

Other than those minor things...It's a stompy. :D

Yea it is mostly built from around my group about 60% of them are RUG and U/W control and a good bit play elves so the swords have worked wonders along with the traps if not always have the side boards in for traps and what not if im facing something like RDW or Valakut/eldrazi ramp and such. I could easily drop the swords for Infiltration lenses and some more creatures to make this a little more old school Stompy but yea it is focused toward winning in my meta game more of than not. On a side note i find the swords work great with as much trample as i have as it is an effective 2/2 nearly every turn. also it is always fun going for the turn 2 leatherback to dropping an hydra :) just sayin

As per your request, my interpretation of 'Stomp'. Mana generation and storage, large overwhelming creatures, untapping lands and creatures... What more could you ask for? Please take a look and comment as you wish.

[QUOTE=surewhynot]An old-school 14 land? Dang, haven't seen one in a long while. Nice Stompy dude.[/QUOTE]

Thanks it's been around for a while..... I've added a few newer cards like Garruk but the core of it is pretty much the same.

Well first off, this made me think of the Twilight Zone =]

Second, your deck is pretty fatty. Now that's not an insult (your deck's so fat...nevermind).

What I mean is, it's got a bunch of big HUGE dudes (fatties). They're all really good, and aside from their "too high" mana cost, they are stompy in nature. Sadly there's no such thing as "Fat-Stompy". I wish there was, trust me.

So...since I'm a nice guy (and finally on break :D) I'm givin' you another shot. Try to rearrange the deck so that it doesn't have anything costing over 4-5 mana. (There are a FEW exceptions, but let's worry about that later).

One last thing...Omnath is awesome, but in Stompy he should be un-boosted at all times, so he's very un-stompy. That's because stompy isn't just about efficiency and proportionally over-sized creatures/buffs.

Its main efficiency is that it uses every last drop (drop? fizzle? wtf is mana measured in?) of mana you have every turn.

Let's break it down in a five turn example. (actual scenarios)

Stompy:

turn 1, forest...mana tapping one-drop

turn 2, forest...tap all three sources of mana to play...harrow, sac land to find two from your library untapped, tap those to play a garruk's companion

turn 3, forest...3 one-costs and another Companion

turn 4, forest...tap 2 forests to play Khalni Hydra. Tap 3 more and two of the mana-tappers to play Overwhelming Stampede. Attack for...40 trampling damage.

turn 5. What turn 5?

Other deck:

turn 1, land.
turn 2, land...tap both for a 1/1
turn 3, land...tap two to play another 1/1
turn 4, nothing to play.
turn 5. already dead with 5 wasted mana.

New and Improved(?) Stompy for the challenge. Extended Standard format.

I put the deck on a diet, trimmed its waist and sawed off some fat. Let me know what you think.;)

Edit: I've swapped out the Quest for Renewal for Quest for the Gemblade and Withstand Death for Primal Bellow. Now giving a nice added combo, inspired by your idea;
Quest for the gemblades(1G) - Primal Bellow(G) - Timbermaw Larva attacks - Momentous Fall(2GG)

Hello SureWhyNot...here is my Stompy deck. Please do not explode in furry as I have only been in MTG since Worldwake, and on top of that I took a break for several months...so I am like a 3 month experienced deck builder here lol. Oh.....and I dont have a bunch of money...so no Kahlni Hydras or Vengivines :(

MUCH better. I'm not a fan of the Quests or the Withstand Deaths...but otherwise it's a nice Stompy. Momentous Fall is an interesting card draw mechanic, but definitely stompy, especially if you do it after attacking (like with frickin' Timbermaw Larva :D)

It could use a few changes, such as taking out the Packleader, but other than that...It's pretty nice for being your first attempt and for someone so new to MTG.

You'll impress people big-time with a deck like that, seriously, you should be proud. :D

Welcome to MTG, and to Stompy :D

Well thank you I appreciate it. R/G elves was the first deck i ever made and it served me very well...and Im still digging green. I dont know why...but when I play with decks other than green or have green in them I just loose :(

Hey no problem man. Some people are just more gifted towards a particular color.

Hell, one of my biggest rivals in my playgroup has only one non-blue deck. :D

Haha yeah I guess youre right. Well I have took a look at several other stompy decks...and i have some spare money...so should I go with Kahlni Hydra or Vengivine? The winner will take the Packleader's spot.

Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=123671

And another one for the challenge! Shedding some light on the darker side of elves. This is half Mana-Ramp and Half-Stompy. In fact, only the Joraga Warcaller even qualifies this deck as stompy. I can attest to the might of a super kicked Joraga Warcaller + Stampede, though. ;) Again, leave your thoughts.

In my opinion for stompy deck all together the Hydas would be cheaper and better for your setup, though you could probably get more use of the vengivines outside of this setup.

Pretty much what I was gonna say. Vengevine is an amazing card, so is hydra, but not to the same level. Really, at this point it comes down to your own personal preference.

not sure if it's stompy at all, i tried looking it up, but definitions were vague. tell me in a comment or reply if it is stompy at all? :O
i named it green power, so as to not call it stomp. :P i dont' want to get bitch-slapped!

This deck is much like my second entry. It' NOT REALLY considered stompy, though there are alot of stompy elements in it. I am an elf fanatic so, this deck is the best to me. Keep on making decks bro.

The definitions are a bit vague, and that's because there's a number of different types of stompy. What you have here (save for a card here and there) is called a "pump-stompy". I think it's obvious what that means.

Ezuri's Archers aren't stompy, and I personally think they're pointless in general (rarely should flyers be an issue, if they are, sideboard plummets). I'd replace them with Infiltration Lens if you have them, one of those on a trampler in a pump-stompy is really funny. :D

Now, Primeval Titan is a Fat-Stompy card. He's good if you only have 2 and can make it worth it. So maybe take out your Treecallers (Levelers are not at all stompy...came close to a back-hand =P ) and put in like...2 Adventuring Gear to go with the Titan's boost. Then you can use that last 1 and the 3 Fauna Shaman's to fit in 4 Harrows for more boosting and mana acceleration.

Fauna Shaman is really weird to me. To make her work for Stompy, you have to sort of make the WHOLE thing about her. Vengevines and the works. Personally, I don't think it's worth the trouble. If you're going to abuse Fauna Shaman with Vengevine...make it Jund Shaman =P

I would fix some things around, maybe 2 Stampedes and 4 groundswells for example. Maybe only 2 Hydras since this is lower on the creature side. Stuff like that. Oh, and if you want this to be a more "Elfy" stompy...If you have them and if you have room for them, Mul Daya Channelers are sweet.

Could this one be called stompy?

Nah, not stompy man. The deck is nice, and cheats in big dudes, but stompy, it is not =/

(I think I commented on it right?)

yeah you did thx,

btw if you look at it i think is one of the most expensive i could make

i would really love to do it and i have a few of those cards but survival is 50$ a piece and i have 1!!!

Hehe, yeah, that's because it's essentially fauna shaman made fast and repeatable. Which is really good. :D
