Turn1 Skullbriar via: Lotus Petal , Mox Diamond and Gemstone Caverns which comes in and out.

The basis of this deck is run "enough" +1/+1 counter cards such that Skullbriar is always online and fast to recover. Something I've learned in playing this deck is how important it is to have other Skullbriars online, cards like Predator Ooze look shabby but are extremely functional and provide near-passive redundancy.

Increasing Savagery is easily the best card in the deck. It is worth tutoring for, no question about it.

No combos, nothing cheatsey, just a deck of pure spirit.
