This is my first, and signature, deck. It encapsulates perfectly the way I most enjoy playing MtG. The idea is to use relatively quick accumulation of mana to burst with the help of Omnath, who's usually out turn 2. Best case, he stays out and builds mana. Worst case, he takes a dive from removal, but that's one less removal in their hand.

My win Cons are basically

1. Creating a ridiculous number of tokens and swarming (the wolves/insects)
2. Having a few big ones and trampling (Omnath and the Hydras)
3. Using the helix pinnacle (with or without doubling season/cube, it still goes quick with this deck). I like having the option in there of a non-combat Win Con in case the battle board is locked up somehow.

The Win/Loss ratio so far seems to be about a 2:1 and looks to hinge on either my over-committing before a board wipe and not having a way to recover, or my opponent happening to get all their flying out and I don't have that much block/removal for that. I tried to add some reach, but out of the whole deck, sometimes I don't have it at hand when it comes up. Reducing the number of forests to 30 was essential to not end up with too many forest draws in the first few hands, so the mana balance seems right for now.
