Thanks for all the great comments! Keep it up!

I'm not sure how I feel about Increasing Savagery . However, the deck is fairly solid. Is the Horizon Chimera in here because of the trample and flying?

Increasing Savagery is BEAST MODE in this deck. Especially on a stalker. Ends games quick. I really like the usefulness of the chimera, it brings a lot for 4cmc.

It won outright 2/0 against Smack Your Deck Up! Game one saw me take a beat down from two Birds of Paradise with Rancor Even though i milled away all but six of your cards it got me by turn five. Game two was even closer but i used Surgical Extraction wrong (its new to me and the deck) and took out the hydra rather then the Increasing Savagery which flashbacked for the kill on one lonely Invisible Stalker on turn seven with you only have two cards left in your library. Nice build here.. I know you said you don't play competitively but this has wheels.

Thanks a bunch Quadsimotto. I put a decent amount of work in to getting this deck where it is. BoP beatdown is a fun way to win. Anyway, thanks again. I'm surprised this won.

Ran tests of this versus Scapeshift, PrimeShift and Jund.

Game 1, scapeshift just dominated through Remand, Cryptic command and board wipes before stuff for big. It scapeshifted for 18 damage on turn 7, having hit you with a bolt.

Game 2, it was just dominated again, as Scapeshift brought in Wurmcoils and more wipes, taking out some spot removal. Turn 5, there was a rancored up thrun, but he couldn't get past Cryptic one turn, Wurmcoil the next.

Versus Primeshift the deck just durdled and died to a turn 4 primeval titan each game,

Versus Jund, Lili was the MVP both times, as Goyfs blocked everything and killed so much stuff.

Thanks for the results LeaPlath. But why couldn't a rancored thrun kill a wurmcoil? He does regen.

Also LeaPlath, just a little curious why you chose this deck to test against? Those seem like some great decks though. Are they on your profile page?

He survived it, but I gained 6 off wurmcoil, then got 2 3/3s, which chumped until I won.

As for the decks, I just did a generic jund list. As for Scapeshift, I choose scapeshift cause it is fairly one sidedly interactive and combo, so it can be a control or a combo deck.
