For years I tried to get this deck working. Almost worked well sometimes but too often fell short; can't aggro down three competent opponents, couldn't recover from board wipes well (and my group has a high enough play level that any protection short of teferi's protection would probably never be helpful). So then I wondered, "What If I used the big critters instead of tokens?" Have I been too committed to a token army? Time to Find out...

First thoughts have me optimistic. Having bigger boosts that stack instead of more 1/1s seems like my damage is multiplicative instead of additive, which is good. Still trying to optimize though...
