A note from the creator

After playing various stompy builds for about a year and really struggling to compete against top tier decks i decided to do some heavy editing focusing around the decks current painful removal sweat and around the addition of the kaladesh block i decided to move away slightly from our mono background and play a small splash of white and a selection of forest finding fetchlands

This deck has got me into the top 8 in several win a box competitions and regularly got me top 1-4 in 20-25 people fnms with experienced competitive players.

its designed to play similarly to traditional naya zoo. the main differences being it's not quite as fast but has a much more powerful mind/lategame while being very hard for our opponent to deal with (lots of protection spells and in built resistance).

Creatures

One Drops

• Narnam Renegade: usually comes in as a 2/3 but still triggers Experiment One as 1/2 and combined with deathtouch makes this our most powerful card in the deck.
• Experiment One: it get bigger with +1/+1 with every creature and regenerates. (currently used over pelt due to narnam and lion have only 2 power but 3 toughness)
• Dryad Militant: nice aggressive one drop with built in graveyard hate (it really hates on control).
• Loam Lion: if your leaning heavily into white a kird ape is always solid (if normally a bit out classed in this crowd)
• Kytheon, Hero of Akros  : nice aggressive body and if you can lip him on turn 3 it can be a serious game changer

Two Drops

• Avatar of the Resolute: it has trample and reach so very useful and 15 of the creature in the deck have 1+/1+ counters.
• Scavenging Ooze: life gain, graveyard hate and it get BIG!
• Strangleroot Geist: its aggressive, it self resurrects and gets bigger. :)
  

Note this build has currently dropped 2+drops due to hexdrinker doing a very solid impression of a 3 drop while allowing the deck to be even more early game aggressive

Three Drop

• Rhonas the Indomitable; its big its deathtouch and indestructible, it gives rancor to a creature at need and it gets Experiment One up to a 5/5.
• Steel Leaf Champion: Devotion for 3, 5/4 body and relevant evasion ability makes this the most solid 3 drop option
  

More Drop

• Hooting Mandrills: he's big! he can be cast very cheaply and he is bolt/anger/push proof... oh and did i mention he has trample!
  
  

Spells

• Dromoka's Command: where do i start all of its modes are relevant. first it our decks only enchantment hate next he makes our stuff bigger with counters (yay for synergy) next its good instant speed removal, and finally it stops Lightning Bolt, anger of the god, Searing Blaze, Boros Charm, Atarka's Command. and it not only does one of these but it does two at once!
• Blossoming Defense: protection and pump spell.
• Vines of Vastwood: protection, large pump or counter pump/combo trigger on opponent's creatures.
• Rancor: it pumps, it grants trample, and it comes back from the grave.
• Path to Exile: unconditional removal!!!
  

Lands

• Treetop Village: a 3/3 with trample can be very relevant.
• Horizon Canopy: its in both our colors and it draws us a card.
• Temple Garden: the shock land for our extra color needs.
• Windswept Heath: used primarily for use triggering Narnam Renegade fetching our shock and slightly thinning the deck.
• Wooded Foothills: next cheapest fetch over Windswept Heath.
• Misty Rainforest: next cheapest fetch over Wooded Foothills.

Other Options

• Tireless Tracker: more midrange but can work as a curve topper
• Kitchen Finks solid sb, been a little outclassed by the utility of knight.
• Voice of Resurgence: very powerful choice in decks with little/inconsistent +1/+1 counter synergy.
• Wild Nacatl: deck example Nacatl Stompy.
  

for a full GW deck with no counter synergy G/W Stompy.

Traditional/suboptimal options

• Kessig Prowler  : excellent one drop with a late game mana sink.
• Prey Upon: consistent sorcery speed removal (very good with deathtouch).
• Aspect of Hydra: very good in more traditional devotion based deck.
• Kalonian Tusker: mediocre 2 drop but was hit by bolt with no additional upside.
• Leatherback Baloth: an excellent three drop and a must if playing Aspect of Hydra but it has been out classed by Rhonas the Indomitable.
• Dismember: the best removal spell available to mono green version of the deck but with a huge downside.
• Nature's Way: alternative removal against Dismember.
• Old-Growth Dryads: a powerful new onedrop with a significant downside worth playing as a 1-2 of in mon decks.
• Groundswell: mediocre pump.
