Deck Description

A heavy hitting green deck with Thorn Elemental and other player damaging creatures.

I use the smaller creatures mana tapping capabilities, Elvish Piper, Bifurcate, and well as Wild Pairs to help get the big creatures out quickly

How to Play

T1: Land & Sakura Tribe Scout
T2: Land (2x) + Tap Sakura Tribe Scout to put 2 lands total down this turn. Play Descendants Path for 3 mana)
T3: Land + Elvish Piper
T4: Land: Tap Elvish Piper to put Thorn Elemental into play. Play Biffurcate
T5: Land + reveal top card to see if shares creature type. Play Asceticism to protect your creatures and tap Elvish piper to bring another big creature such as Rhox or Thorn elemental out.

Etc until you've killed your opponent. There are other ways I've played this deck but this is just one of them. Depending on what kind of deck your against you may have to play Asceticism earlier to prevent your opponent from stopping you from getting your heavy hitters out.

Deck discussion for Thorn in my side

I would be a jerk and add Assault Strobe, Double Cleave, Fireshrieker or Cleaver Riot. It makes those Pride of Lions and Thorn Elementals just so... disgusting.

Very nice, simple deck.

I may have to try a game or two with Fireshrieker in there and see what kind of fun I can have!

Thanks!
