While checking on the recent results of the tournaments online as well as the at the Arena decklists, I noticed that some of the archetypes are getting back on their guild colors. Examples are that of the Simic Flash and Gruul Aggro. We also have a few version of Dimir Control and basic Azorius Tap out decks. I guess players are working on what the best cards that the Ravnica block offers while giving it updates with Throne of Eldraine components.

As for today’s blog post, I am featuring a version of the Green Stompy deck since Throne of Eldraine showed five Rare and Common lands that support the single color builds. The list features Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig, and Syr Faren that has ways to pump themselves or other creatures.

Here below is the decklist:

4 Barkhide Troll
4 Growth-Chamber Guardian
4 Paradise Druid
4 Pelt Collector
4 Questing Beast
2 Shifting Ceratops
3 Syr Faren, the Hengehammer
2 Thrashing Brontodon
2 Voracious Hydra
3 Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig

2 Thrash // Threat
3 Vivien, Arkbow Ranger

3 Castle Garenbrig
20 Forest

While reading through the topics posted at the Spikes subreddit, I came upon a tournament report of a person playing UR Dynavolt in their Gameday and which he faced a kid piloting a mono-Green aggro deck. The card composition according to the way his match went were Blistering Hydras, Servant of the Conduit, Tireless Tracker, and coupled with pump spells like Larger than Life. He posted an assumed decklist but I decided to refine it a bit.

Here is my first version of the deck:

4 Bristling Hydra
4 Greenbelt Rampager
4 Tireless Tracker
4 Servant of the Conduit
2 Architect of the Untamed
1 Aetherwind Basker

4 Lifecraft Bestiary
4 Attune with Aether
4 Blossoming Defense
4 Larger than Life
1 Deadlock Trap
2 Heroic Intervention

4 Aether Hub
3 Evolving Wilds
15 Forest

The poster also mentioned that the kid was having Pummelers for the sideboard which I think would look subpar with just eight pump spells in the deck and no access to Red’s Double Strike ability. As for color splashes, Black would be my first choice for the Winding Constrictor and Rishkar package. Just substitute a few Forest to a playset of Blooming Marsh and maybe two Hissing Quagmires.

Comments and suggestions are pretty much welcome, so just post them on the box below.
