Current standard features a lot of decks that focus on a lot of smaller creatures such as Bant Company and GW Humans etc. In this meta I believe there might be a window for running big dumb creatures with Trample and catching your opponent off guard.
This deck is build around Decimator of the Provinces, which can come down as early as T4, although you may want to wait a turn or two. depending on board states and how much open mana your opponent has.
Relevant combos:
Eldrazi Mimic+Decimator of the Provinces: An Eldrazi Mimic already in play will turn into a 9/9 Trample, the turn Decimator hits.
Shaman of Forgotten Ways+Decimator of the Provinces: Will allow you to play the Decimator on T4 if you tap it for mana first and then sacrifice it. If you manage to put an Eldrazi Mimic in play on T2. you will be in serious business :)
Other important cards:
Thought-Knot Seer: Ideally you play this the turn before you play the decimator to remove counterspells, Spell Quellers, Thalia's, or CoCos from opponents hand. We want to have maximum effect when we play it.
Sanctum of Ugin allows you to chain cast Decimator of the Provinces
Format All-stars:
Duskwatch Recruiter
, Sylvan Advocate and Surrak, the Hunt Caller will ensure you can go toe-to-toe with almost any deck while building a board presence, preparing for the Decimators alpha swing.
Side board:
Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger Because we can often play him, and he will rarely be dead in hand
Plummet, when you are met with pesky fliers.
Naturalize for Always Watching
Display of Dominance against any blue or black deck (great against Bant Company)
Warping Wail: mostly to counter Languish and other Board wipes
Lambholt Pacifist
to be sided in vs. aggro
Gaea's Revenge good vs counter/removal heavy decks
and World Breaker. can be used for a variety of different match ups.
Suggestions are most welcome.
