Hi there!

Here's a deck I won a local tournament with here in Gothenburg. Metagame
here is heavy blue-ish, lots of Capsize and bouncing and Red with pinging
and burning. I decided to try something nobody would expect. StOmPy!!! :) I
just love the concept, and I think this version is really versatile, and
even strong against those nasty control decks. Here's my winner deck from
last weekend with a few changes:

LAND:
14 Forest
4 Mogg Hollows

GREEN:
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Quirion Rangers
4 Mtenda Lions
2 Emerald Charms
3 Wall of Roots
4 River Boa
4 Jolrael's Centaur  \
4 Pincher Beetles   /  The Untouchables
2 Uktabi Orangutang
2 Lhurgoyf
3 Overrun

RED:
2 Goblin Bombardment

ARTIFACT:
4 Winter Orb

SB:
3 Scragnoth
2 Lifeforce
2 Whirling Dervish
2 Tranquil Domain
2 Choke
2 Blossoming Wreath
1 Uktabi Orangutang
1 Mana Web

This deck is strong against control decks, sligh, burn and mostly anything.
It just deals heavy quick damage damage and when your opponent think he's
safe with a propaganda you just smile and Emerald Charm it... Throw a
monkey at those nasty medallions and scrolls.. And lock THEM down with the
Orb. :) Are they burning your creatures? Fine, sac them to the
Bombardement, either damaging your opponent or killing their creatures too,
making your Lhurgoyfs HUGE. :)

Have a nice bunch of Untouchables on the table.. maybe 1 Wall of Root and
an elf... you grin as your third forest hits the table and you slap down
the Overrun and watch the sigh your opponent gives, trying to figure out a
way to survive. Overrun is such a good finisher!!

Well, now that i've spoken warmly of the deck, i should add something about
the weaknesses. I played against a mono white life gainer deck.. we wen't
2-2 over four duels. Orim's prayer is nasty... be sure to have Charms ready
for them. Also against black, watch out for Perish. Don't play all
creatures at once.. unless you have a Lifeforce out of course. :) Don't
play Goyfs unless you can counter the perish.. do play them after the
perish though. Goblin bombardment really helps here too. Shoot the critters
in something before they die to perish. :)

Alright. I hope some people will try this deck, and bring Stompy back to
the days of glory! Green rules!!! :) Thank you for your time.
