I was trying to make a sabertooth tribal but there aren't enough cool sabertooths so that plan didn't work out.. I went with the next best thing! Ferocious, Formidable creatures for maximum beastmode (without actually playing that many beasts)!

It's not really about stealing creatures, more about fighting.. so I do have some sacrifice thanks to Birthing Pod but I didn't build with that in mind. I might replace the +x/+x buffs (Brute Force, Giant Growth) I use now for more fight effects (Like Prey Upon), but the playtests so far are very promising. Having Wild Defiance out really helps as well because when you target them with a fight spell/ability they get another bonus added. Ambuscade and Clear Shot are nice but they add too little for too much mana so I took them out again.

Also ended up trading some creatures for more removal like Void Snare and Aether Gale which are meant to remove annoying enchantments or - and this is what held me back most in my playtests - remove indestructible creatures such as gods. Good luck fighting against a Rhonas the Indomitable for example, who has indestructible and frigging deathtouch (and you can fight with him any time you want, no restrictions such as devotion to become a creature like the other gods). Cyclonic Rift is sort of banned in my group so I wanted to put it in for regular non-overload casting but I didn't because I know the temptation will be too much and I'll probably overload it anyway :x. there are more single target removals like that though but so many choices had to be made.. I stuck with Aether Gale for now because it seriously messes with the board at a good cost without being too much.

Will keep trying to make it faster with more draw and ramp, but I don't know what to remove at the moment.
