This is my first post at the Dojo so bear with me. When Stronghold first came
out I saw on the Dojo a deck named Stampeding Spikes which was designed by
Simon Connell. I have been playing with this deck idea since then. With the
addition of Exodus this deck idea I believe has become a force to be reckoned
with. I will let you judge for yourself. I present The Spike's Return.

Land
20 Forest       Testing has shown that this is the correct amount, i almost never
get mana screwed
3 Quicksand     I need 1 more of these, they provide a decent defense against
shadows

Enchantments
2 Eladamri's Vineyard   My luck sucks with finding cards i need, if I get the
other 2 they will go in, if you can use 4
2 Survival of the Fittest       I always draw these and they are very useful
2 Oath of Druids        I'm not sure if these are going to stay in, need to test them
more

Artifacts
2 Nevinyrral's Disk     Reset button, saved me a ton of times, 1 more will go in
if I can get another, if you play this deck keep these

Sorceries
3 Gaea's Blessing       I need 1 more, it is gonna suck when these leave Type 2

Creatures
2 Skyshroud Elite       Excellent first turn creature, there would be more if there
was room
4 Llanowar Elves        If you play this deck keep these
2 Lhurgoyf      These are counters for mass destruction
2 Wall of Roots         Replacement for Wall of Blossoms since i can't get any,
recycle with wildebeests
3 Uktabi Orangutan  Just enough, recycle with wildebeests, gonna suck when
these leave Type 2
4 Stampeding Wildebeests        It's gonna suck when these leave Too!
4 Spike Soldier Possible fatty, move counters from other spikes to him and
recycle the spikes with wildebeests to get more counters
2 Spike Weaver   These almost won me a 1.5 tourney using this same exact deck!
I need more
2 Spike Rogue   These are more useful than u think
4 Spike Feeder  DUH! All decks with green should have 4 of these, PERIOD.

As of right now there is no sideboard. This deck is weak against shadows and
super-fast weenies. Damn I wish I still had those Maze Of Shadows! I haven't
played against any Oath decks so I don't no how this deck would do. Well thats
it for me, if you think I'm a genius, a complete moronic scrub or some where
in between e-mail me at Huskie515@AOL.com
