beasts, critters, and elves by user6800590

Commander: Radagast of Rhosgobel

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-green "big mana, big creatures, big swing" deck built around Radagast of Rhosgobel as a value/cost-reduction engine. Radagast discounts the first creature spell each turn by {2} and gives it flash, letting the deck deploy threats at instant speed and chain multiple creatures per turn cycle. The plan is straightforward: ramp hard, stack cost reducers like Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, Emerald Medallion, Nylea, Keen-Eyed, and Defiler of Vigor, then flood the board with high-power creatures while drawing cards off Beast Whisperer, Elemental Bond, Soul of the Harvest, and Garruk's Uprising. The +1/+1 counter package - Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, Innkeeper's Talent, Ouroboroid, Railway Brawler, Canopy Gargantuan - turns the board into an exponential threat. The primary finisher is a Craterhoof Behemoth or Pathbreaker Ibex swing with a wide board; secondary lines cheat creatures in via Lurking Predators, Oviya, Automech Artisan, and Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution. The commander is a nice-to-have, not the engine.
