Deck Description

Oldschool Stompy Deck.

Simply run over your opponent. Small creature after small creature after small creature, throw down the occasional Rancor/Invigorate as needed.

Again, one of the most basic decks in the world. Low mana curve. Speed. Creatures. Attack. Yep. Basic. But it works.

How to Play

As most Stompy/Stampy decks...simply run over your opponents.

Open up the game with almost 20 different cards that can be played on turn one. Idea is that you will play at least 1 creature every turn!

Elvish Lyrist for enchantment hate.
Uktabi Orangutan for artifact hate.

Rancor and Invigorate for chump blocking and trampling over opponent.

Squallmonger against flying decks.

Llanowar Elves for Mana ramp.

Albino Troll with regeneration.

Uktabi Drake and Vine Dryad are Rogue Elephant are some of the BEST turn one drops in this deck then a second turn Rancor/Invigorate.

Deck discussion for Old Stompy

if you're really going for an old-school stompy, you at least need rogue elephant (he's the deck's namesake after all), and Uktabi Drake can never hurt. i do really respect the fact that you have at least a grasp of what stompy really is. far too many people make "stompy" decks that anything but. :| if you want any other advice about stompy, just ask. i am a self-proclaimed master of the art. :)

just don't call it stampy.

Stompy was when Mirage bloc was Standard...and Stampy when MMask was Standard....right? Maybe not, lol. I will change the name anyways. Do not want any confusions...or to look like I am dumb.

Will make some changes.

stampy is the name of the rogue elephant that bart simpson frees from the zoo in "bart gets an elephant". because the first stompy deck used rogue elephant and the creator was a fan of the simpsons, he named the deck after it. however, the creator of the deck incorrectly named the deck "stompy" with an O instead of an A, and the name has stuck ever since. some people think it should be called stampy, because that's the elephant's actual name, but the deck has always been called stompy. as for the connection with masques, that's just a set where a number of staples to the deck type come from.

I actually remember a few friends of mine calling Older Rush decks Stompy (again, Mirage stuff) and the newer (back in 2000) Rush decks Stampy. I am kinda confused now. Doesn't matter. You get the point. Since you are good at Stompy decks, how does this one do? I am not really good at Stompy decks. I think my better decks are bounce decks.

it's not bad for your first attempt, though i would have done it differently (because I have). mostly i worry about your excessive use of echo creatures, excluding uktabi drake obviously. it's a powerful strategy that can backfire horribly and leave you greatly slowed down, or lacking in board presence...both are blasphemy in stompy.

Way I see it...since the mana curve is so very low...and I will be topdecking early on...i can afford to pay some of the echo cost.

well like i said, it can go off without a hitch, but when it fails, it fails hard. that's why i personally have never been a fan of echo. i invite you to check out some of my stompy decks. i think they'll help you get some ideas.

they're both 10L lists, but i think if you want to learn stompy, you may as well start with the very purest form of it.

Liked them both. Clamp is uber fast but banned. And noticed you ran a lot more instants, which I should probably do.

there was a time when clamp wasn't banned, and so i still use it in those decks. if someone has an issue with it i just replace them with infiltration lens.
