The deck seeks to answer the age old question. "Do you want a troll deck? A deck that trolls?" And the answer, is yes. And here is my best effort at just that.

Though there is a lot of good troll in this deck, the true goldy is an oldy. Varolz, the Scar-Striped. When used in conjunction with hyper specialized, high-risk creatures; Varla the Scare Sripper can drop major boosts onto your creatures for incredibly cheap. A common trick most everyone is aware of.

What is new to this trick is some numerical synergies. Ergo; the perfect numerical matching of Clackbridge Troll (8/8) and the counters from Phyrexian Dreadnought or Death's Shadow. A scenario result in 20+ swings. With trample. Harking back to those crazy days of trying desperately to make a 20/20 Thorn Elemental. With just...way less steps.

I was sad to find that Shadow and Dreadnought are so darn expensive. And that there are only two creatures in all of magic with such crazy ratios of Cost:Power.

Making the cost sacrifice for quality is often the name of the game, unfortunately. So for those wanting a more budget experience; Hunted Horror and Force of Savagery are closest rivals in the palette.

When combined with Living Wish and Death Wish(along with a very loose and generous definition of "outside the game")), we get a potential stockpile of sixteen massive Valorie the Scone Stuffed plays. Which...geez, should be enough.

All in all. The deck will stick to an aggro strategy with big bodies that grow, trample, recur, trample again, and subdue a heavy handed victory.
