So I've been playing my BG Saprolings deck (Vraska and Slimefoot's Saproling Party) for a few weeks now and I've been really impressed by Driven to Despair going off early with Song of Freyalise and a handful of tokens. I have been able to empty my opponent's hand by turn 4 or 5, usually causing a rage quit on Arena. This prompted me to create a similar deck focused around emptying my opponent's hand and then obliterating them with Torment of Hailfire during the first or second chapter of Song of Freyalise.

The Creatures

• Llanowar Elves: Great ramp
• Tendershoot Dryad: Great Saproling generator and lord
• Sporecrown Thallid: Saproling and fungus lords who pump each other
• Yavimaya Sapherd: Two bodies for the price of one

The Spells

• Doomfall: Both options are great for this deck
• Driven//Despair: Empty your opponent's hand and refill your own - all for four mana. Easily playable turn 4-5, depending on how greedy you want to be
• Saproling Migration: Early way to get a couple bodies on the field, and a great mana sink late game or with Song of Freyalise
• Song of Freyalise: Turn your dudes into mana dorks for a couple turns, then swing with your entire indestructible/vigilance/trample team. Playing Driven//Despair on the same turn as the third chapter is pretty sweet
• Spore Swarm: Instant speed chump blockers
• Torment of Hailfire: The main win condition of the deck. This can get big quickly with Song of Freyalise, and if you've already emptied your opponent's hand then it's pretty much game
• Vraska, Relic Seeker: Creates pirates, removes almost anything, and an ultimate that can win the game. Enough said

Ideal Plays

Card advantage plan:

• 1) Forest
