Almost 10 years of age. Doran, started out as a treefolk tribal, got boring and slowly transitioned into a deck that cares all about toughness. no walls in this build either. several "mild" hatebear cards synergize very well with this theme. Ensnaring Bridge, Crackdown, Meekstone, Noetic Scales pull a lot of weight because all our creatures are below 3 thoughness. also removed most recursion mechanics. Wrath effects like Dusk / Dawn, Fell the Mighty, Wave of Reckoning, Slaughter the Strong leave our board unaffected setting us ahead of the table. - 5.6.2026
