Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Kona, Rescue Beastie leads a mono-green cheat-into-play deck. The main game plan is to ramp to four mana, tap Kona, and use Survival to drop a huge permanent from hand at the beginning of the second main phase. Big trampling fatties, overrun effects like End-Raze Forerunners and Rumbleweed, and draw engines such as Toski and Garruk's Uprising turn those free permanents into a combat kill. Loot, Sledge-Class Seedship, and Mosswort Bridge provide backup cheat effects if Kona sits in the command zone. The deck has no infinite combos and lighter stack interaction; it wins through raw power, haste, trample, and repeated card advantage from creatures.
