This is what I call my Hungry Hungry Hippo deck. The idea was to cram a bunch of nature ramp, water draw and blockers, and then some finishers into a deck and call it a day. Don't get me wrong, it's obviously not going to be tier one or anything but even in it's current state it is a lot of fun to play. It really does need the next set rather badly. That said, since they are giving nature/darkness some really good ramp cards as well I was tempted to make it into a water/nature/dark deck. Nature (26) 3x [card]Sprout[/card] 3x [card]Energize[/card] (boy I hope this next set gives me something else. Most of the time this is just a more expensive sprout) 3x [card]Razorhide[/card] 3x [card]Bronze-Arm Tribe[/card] 3x [card]Reap and Sow[/card] 3x [card]Thorn Dragon[/card] (filler card for now until I get better fatties) 2x [card]Ironvine Dragon[/card] (man I wish I had 3 of this) 1x [card]Lepidos the Ancient[/card] (another card I wish I had 1 more of) 2x [card]Earthstomp Giant[/card] (filler card since I don't have the better 11k for 8, or at least not that many of them) 3x [card]Deathblade Beetle[/card] (seeing how much of this deck isn't 5k or better, it misses more times than not and will most likely get replaced) Water (37) 3x [card]Reef-Eye[/card] 3x [card]Fluorogill Manta[/card] 3x [card]Logos Scan[/card] 3x [card]Aqua Seneschal[/card] 3x [card]Hydro Spy[/card] 3x [card]Coral-Claw[/card] (blocker that replaces itself when banished, yes please) 3x [card]Reef Scout[/card] (Don't like it as much as Coral. Sure it replaces itself right away, but it is 1k weaker) 3x [card]Spy Mission[/card] 3x [card]Frogzooka[/card] (sadly, this is the most powerful mono-water blocker there is in the game right now) 3x [card]Rapids Lurker Wwhhshrll[/card] (seeing how this deck can get insane amount of mana, replaying one of these a turn and doing something else really isn't that hard of a thing to do) 3x [card]Trial and Error[/card] 2x [card]Dragon of Reflections[/card] (in the deck more for being a 7k for 7 than anything. Will get replaced) 2x [card]King Poseidan[/card] (Strange thing was this card was cheaper to buy than Earthstomp Giant despite being a better card) |

Play and Promote Poorman's Format Check out Tzar's Poorman Decklist. Please use card tags when you post in the deck deposit. Using color tags just makes your deck harder to read and harder for people to give you feedback. Not to mention it makes it harder for newer players to see what types of decks are being played. | |

Definately needs removal/bounce. I'd add in 3 Root Traps, 3 Veil Vortex and 3 Ice Blades |

I did have the bounce in a previous version of the deck and I was thinking about putting it back in. Perhaps those and Teleport (since it also draws me a card). Root Trap makes sense as well. Now I just need to figure out what to remove. The deck is fat enough as it is. It really doesn't need to gain even more weight. |

I'd take out this: 3 Energize, 1 Bronze Arm Tribe, 1-2 Spy Mission, 3 Hyrdo Spy, and maybe a couple thorn dragons |
