Caran_Lyg on Happy Tree Friends

Only reason why I would use Finale of Devastation is if I’m aiming for an ultra budget build, but then again, I can just use dual tap lands and still use Chord of Calling. Look at it this way, before my opponents end phase if I have either Ivy Lane Denizen or Scurry Oak in the field and have plenty of mana to use, I can cast Chord of Calling to tutor either one that’s not on the field, I can get the combo going while it’s still their turn. And when it’s my turn I can immediately go to combat with however many squirrels I decided to create. Does that make more sense @Predator_90?

Predator_90 Instant > Sorcery. Why would I pay 10 additional mana for a sorcery? Chord of Calling have 2 targets: Ivy Lane Denizen and Scurry Oak. Paying that extra 6 or 7 mana for a sorcery makes no sense. Think about it. I don’t need that pump when I got 1 million squirrels. And on top of that if I have Impact Tremors, before I even get a million squirrels, opponent would be done at 20.

-
Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest goes infinite with Scurry Oak and Basking Broodscale with a sac outlet (Ivy Lane Denizen also goes infinite)
-
Nuka-Cola Vending Machine + Academy Manufactor/Peregrin Took + Krark-Clan Ironworks/Grinding Station goes infinite
-
Basking Broodscale + Tarrian's Soulcleaver goes infinite
Ygra, Eater of All goes infinite with camelia and Experimental Confectioner
Using the above to explain my adds:
ADD (16)
Phyrexian Altar/Blasting Station
Lively Dirge:helps to get cheap combo pieces
DROPS (need to drop a single card too to get to 100) 17
4x lands (this deck looks like it can run fine off of 30 if you add 4-5 0-1 cmc ramp pieces)
Cauldron Familiar (unless I am missing the combo piece for it in the list)
Craterhoof Behemoth: may be a bit win more. don't see it doing much
Gala Greeters: meh card
Gilded Goose: meh
Tireless Provisioner: could stay or go
Toski, Bearer of Secrets: don't know how aggro this deck is, seems more combo oriented
Damnation: probably between MHM and fallout you have enough wipes
Nature's Claim: good removal but probably good on that
Woe Strider probably fine on sac outlets
May consider Protean Hulk piles as well
BlueTorche on !!! Chatterfang and the hungry Crew !!!
3 months ago
In my personal decklist (Chatterfang Casual EDH), I have 3 win cons :
-
Lifedrain (with Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist), which is the most reliable one, as it usually kills all my opponents at once. With Chattefang, it's easy to reach 20+ drains, which is huge in late game.
-
Big tokens (with cards like Creakwood Liege, Return of the Wildspeaker, Craterhoof Behemoth (more expensive this one)), which can easily kill your opponent if you have 10+ squirrel on the battlefield. Garruk, Cursed Huntsman isn't a bad addition in the deck, but I think it's a bit "slow", as it will need at least 1 full turn of table before having the emblem. Your opponents will usually focus it and kill it during this time.
-
Commander Damage, it doesn't happen often (to be honest, I never killed someone with commander damage in more than 20 games). But it is useful if you play against a lifegain deck or a stax deck. Commander damage can easily be done when you buff all your squirrels (including Chatterfang), and you can also sacrifice X squirrels to give +X/-X to Chatterfang. It's also why I suggested Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, which make your commander unblockable (and is a good land anyway). The BLB card The Odd Acorn Gang you put in the deck also helps this win condition.
Additionally, Pitiless Plunderer and Warren Soultrader are cards that wins you the game always all the time you'll play it with Chatterfang, as they'll give you almost-infinite mana and ETB/LTB trigger.
Another win condition would be to add Ivy Lane Denizen, which combo with Scurry Oak and give you an infinite/infinite creature and infinite 1/1 squirrels. You may need to add some creature tutor to get both of the cards at the same time (I would suggest Chord of Calling, Dig Up, Diabolic Tutor and Fauna Shaman as buget card. You may also add more expensive card like Vampiric Tutor or Demonic Tutor).
As you say, with the new BLB card, it may exist other win conditions, which can involve food token.
I think you shouldn't focus on one particular win condition. Having more than one way to win can make your deck more reliable (that is my opinion, it may not be true). However, focusing on 1 or 2 win conditions will help you cut some card and having a better deck (it's a question of perfectly balance, as all think should be).
I will also suggest you Acorn Harvest which give you squirrel (not a very strong card, but for 6 mana it creates you 4 squirrels (8 with Chatterfang), not bad).
As cut suggestions, I would suggest Acorn Catapult (which I find very expensive, just to create 1 Squirrel by turn), Cloakwood Hermit (as it need "creature card" put in your graveyard. However, token aren't cards (rule 111.6. A token is subject to anything that affects permanents in general or that affects the token’s card type or subtype. A token isn’t a card) so it doesn't work (I thought about this card when a friend suggests it to me, I was disappointed to learn this rule :( )) and Squirrel Mob (on paper, the card seems good in the deck, but fill the board with tokens is better than having a big creature that will be blocked by anything). I also find Squirrel Sanctuary a bit slow (but it combos with Earthcraft, which I don't have because of its price, but make Squirrel Sanctuary strong). Wrap in Vigor is literally a Golgari Charm in less good (its only advantage is that is cost instead of ). Toski, Bearer of Secrets is also a card I find a bit slow. I bought it for my deck, but it never convinced me, and I would prefer Driven / Despair to it, which can also help you win, or other draw cards (Village Rites, Plumb the Forbidden...). Finally, Putrefy is not the most relevant card in the deck, as you already have a lot of Artifact/Enchantment removal, and Chatterfang is a creature removal. You may prefer Nature's Claim or Maelstrom Pulse as removal, or add more token synergy card (you can also add Crack Open, which is similar to Pest Infestation in the deck (I need to buy Pest Infestation, it seems incredible in a Chatterfang deck))
Quicksilver on Squirrely Wrath!

Warstorm Surge is so slow for this kind of deck. I'd replace the etb trigger for a sac outlet like Goblin Bombardment, which can do early pinging. Ivy Lane Denizen doesn't really synergise with anthem effects either, you'd be just randomly sticking the counter onto a creature if Scurry Oak isn't out on the field.

Altoman on Pauper power

I always like to play this combo. Here are some suggestions:
You need the Aura in order to pull off the combo. You need things like Heliod's Pilgrim and/or Commune with the Gods to find it as fast as possible.
You need to keep Midnight Guard alive for a full turn. Protect it with Gods Willing or Vines of Vastwood
This one is personnal, but I like the alternative with Ivy Lane Denizen + Devoted Druid. It works the same and can take opponents off guard.
Belfore on Marwyn Elfs

Well if you are insistent on staying mono green I would say you need at least 4 more land. Even though you have mana dorks you want to make sure you have at least a couple of lands in your hand. One land I would recommend is Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, War Room, Path of Ancestry, and Scavenger Grounds. As for what to drop for those lands (or more forest) I would drop Gilt-Leaf Archdruid (you only have 12 Druids and 1 druid maker of 100 cards highly unlikely you will have enough druids in play), Wolverine Riders (too slow for what he does), Birchlore Rangers (you already have much much stronger mana dorks), and probably Dwynen's Elite (just not very good at what it is doing).
other creatures to consider putting in the deck over a couple of others. Galadhrim Brigade you mentioned lords, Lys Alana Huntmaster (better token producer than the Dwynen's Elite), Wellwisher (a staple in every elf deck usually), and Ivy Lane Denizen (comboes exceedingly well with your commander, Joraga Warcaller, Haldir, and Lorien Lieutenant).
Also you are missing a bit of interaction.
If you want to go wide I recommend considering either Lathril, Blade of the Elves (would give you some fun and evil mana outlets, and would let you use your Tyvar to greater affect) or Rhys the Redeemed (for truly going wide with an obscene amount of tokens) and again I got more if you want me to keep going with the suggestions let me know.
