Mono-Green Stompy Upgraded with these New Innistrad Cards

In the Standard 2022 format, one of the metagame decks that will not be affected by the upcoming rotation is the Mono-Green Aggro or so-called Stompy deck. With the coming release of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, we check on which Green cards would be of possible upgrade on the component of the deck whether it is a new creature, a removal spell, or an enchantment to boost your dudes.

Firstly, let us see the current deck build of Mono-Green for Standard 2022:

Standard 2022 Mono-Green Stompy by Daninja

Creatures
4 Gnarled Professor
4 Jaspera Sentinel
4 Kazandu Mammoth/Kazandu Valley
4 Old-Growth Troll
4 Swarm Shambler
4 Werewolf Pack Leader

Sorcery (2)
2 Blizzard Brawl

Instant (2)
2 Inscription of Abundance

Artifact (4)
4 Esika’s Chariot

Enchantment (4)
4 Ranger Class

Land (24)
4 Faceless Haven
4 Lair of the Hydra
16 Snow-Covered Forest

The list looks stable enough basing on the creature curve, the number of removals, and other utility cards. Its land base is on Snow lands which benefits to activate the man-land Faceless Haven.

Our Innistrad: Midnight Hunt card candidates for this deck build are the following:

Augur of Autumn lets you play lands from the top of your library and its Coven ability is somewhat easy to fulfill with the current creature lineup.

Primal Adversary is a good late-game mana sink because the more you pay for its ETB ability, the more it gets bigger and turns your lands into 3/3 Wolf. It makes it a one-Wolf army and a good hold if your initial assault has been dealt with.

Saryth, the Viper’s Fang is more of sideboard card against spot removals of Control decks because of the hexproof it provides to your other creatures. The deathtouch might not be needed as your creatures are mostly big enough to overpower other creatures.

Unnatural Growth is the newest situational Overrun Enchantment for your dudes and it is leaning to a win-more card but it is good to have at least one copy main deck.

This Green Grave Titan or what they say online as Wolf Titan, Tovolar’s Huntmaster, is a good top deck bomb and it gets you to win from there. Much more if combined with Esika’s Chariot to generate more Wolf tokens. Its flip version, Tovolar’s Packleader gives a bonus to fight potential blockers or threats. Good thing it is just Rare and Temur or Sultai midrange might get good use of this creature in their lineup.

Personally, I’d really like to try at least one of them in the maindeck given that I am a funky player in my aggro deck builds, but it might lessen the deck’s consistency so maybe I would consider a thing or two. As for an updated decklist, I will have it on a separate blog post so we’ll wrap things up by saying that Mono-Green will surely enjoy these new cards from Innistrad. The complete set spoiler is already up by the way.

Until the next blog post.
