This deck is pretty much what you'd expect from a mono-green deck: ramp into fatties, or, if that doesn't work, make your weenies into fatties with enchantments. The king of this deck is definitely Aura Gnarlid, which just lays down an enormous beatdown on any deck that doesn't have an immediate answer to its presence.

Like deck:lets-play-elf-swarm, this deck belongs to my girlfriend, who occasionally plays, and has an unhealthy obsession with "pretty" creatures like Birds of Paradise (which luckily happens to be decent in this deck) and miscellaneous Elves.

In this deck, the main theme is "biggies", and the cards are primarily leftover cards or cards acquired from friends.

Cards worth note in this deck are:

• Aura Gnarlid - the big bad. Aura Gnarlid truly is a menace if he's granted a Blanchwood Armor or two. What is extremely nifty is how he grows with all Auras, not only those restricted to buffing creatures. Abundant Growth or Arrest for instance, would increase the power of an Aura Gnarlid tremendously.

• Blanchwood Armor - randor - Spider Umbra - Boar Umbra -- the Auras in use are fairly obvious in use: apply directly to creature and watch the ensuing mayhem. If an Aura Gnarlid is not available for targeting, a Birds of Paradise with Blanchwood Armor or Rancor becomes surprisingly frustrating to deal with.

• Howl of the Night Pack - who doesn't love wolves?!

All and any comments (or upvotes, if you're in that mood) are very welcome, and I'd love some discussion or criticism. All criticism is good criticism. Comments, upvotes and suggestions will be reciprocated. :-)
