This deck aims to heavily ramp into a number of large bomb cards, thus taking over the board state. The three main bombs are Kalonian Hydra, Garruk and Primeval Bounty; with each one needing to be answered.
Elvish Mystic: Stock standard mana dork to get the ball rolling.
Sylvan Caryatid: More durable mana dork, can also help fix for other coloured mana.
Fleecemane Lion: Good above curve creature, and with fast ramp can be made Monstrous before the opponent gets a chance to answer him.
Scavenging Ooze: Excellent creature that makes it risky for opponents to trade creatures due to pumping this guy.
Loxodon Smiter: Another good above curve creature, 4 power on turn 2 is difficult for control to deal with, especially due to being uncounterable.
Banisher Priest: Temporary removal of difficult to deal with creatures.
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice: Tough blocker that helps gain life. Once heavy ramp is established and the proper cards are out, she can start to gain life faster than the opponent can drain it. Can also Populate once mana is free.
Kalonian Hydra: Great bomb, has to be answered quickly or will rapidly take over the board. Getting one out on turn 3 means the opponent likely wont have the creatures necessary to block it.
Ajani, Caller of the Pride: Good for adding +1 counters onto creatures for Kalonian Hydra to take advantage of, or can give one Flying and Double Strike for a massive swing.
Garruk, Caller of Beasts: Great card for grabbing more creatures, and helping to overwhelm the boardstate.
Primeval Bounty: Getting a small advantage and being able to play this can quickly get you ahead. Every creature spell creating two bodies can quickly take control of the board, and all Instants become a much more powerful combat trick thanks to the additional counters.
Selesnya Charm: Great for removing the opponents bombs, or for pushing through that extra damage.
