This deck is based on and origionally inspired by Infral's squirrel deck also on this site. Since the key combo in that deck is Squirrel Nest/ Earthcraft, and being that Earthcraft is banned in Legacy format I designed this variatin to be a fast to medium aggro mono green deck that overruns your opponent with the power of fast squirrels.

While the backbone of Infral's deck is still in there, I've just spead up the mana production a bit by adding in a few Birds of Paradise. That combined with Arbor Elf, and Dryad Arbor help with fast mana production strait out of the gates often allowing you to stay one or two manas ahead of the opponents turn count.

Squirrel Nest and Arbor Elf combo is fairly standard, however I included Doubling Season to help compensate for the lack of Earthcraft from Infral's original deck concept.

Vigor and Squirrel mobs are your heavy hitters, and they do leave a mark. Doubly so once Coat of Arms hits the table.

Ascetisism helps protect your boys until you can close in for the kill, and Saproling Symbiosis is thrown in there for good measure to take advantage of the Doubling Season and Coat of Arms.

This deck reliably generates kills by turn five. If you don't have a kill by turn five, then you should have enough going for you on the table and in your hand to make your opponents life a living hell for the next few rounds it takes to get a Coat out on the table, or take advantage of Doubling Season and Saproling Symbiosis.

For extra shits and giggles I am experementing with adding in Saproling Symbiosis to get more creature control on the board faster.

In play tests this has proven to be an overwhealming play in conjunction with this decks natural ability to shit multiple squirels each turn.

Doubling Season and Coat of Arms makes it even more painful for the other players. If I'm right, and doubling season stacks... 8 squirels can become 42+ saprolings real fast. Even if Doubling Season doesn't stack with Vigor in there it really makes this deck a nasty threat if it can survive until after turn 5.
