Deathtouch is the name of the game with this G/B deck. Utilize this lethal mechanic to it's fullest as you reduce even the mightiest of creatures to corpses after just a single strike! Set up early defence with Wasteland Viper or Reaper of the Wilds thanks to mana ramp or surprise your opposition with a last second Ambush Viper . Once that 6th mana shows up thanks to ramp you can unleash the bulk of your army. Engulfing Slagwurm can destroy creatures that prevent combat damage so it is a great surprise for Fog Bank defences. Mwonvuli Beast Tracker allows you to search out whichever deathtouch creature you need and top deck it. Finally Xathrid Gorgon lets you make your opponents most vital strategy null and void before Hythonia the Cruel appears and nukes the field. Be aggressive, take advantage of your Gorgon's naturally high toughness and leave your opponent with no choice but to block and die.

Any suggestions on how to improve this deck are always welcome!
