[/deck]

(Almost) All creatures all the time. I figure this will be a good fun deck that can punish the more competitive decks and be a good loaner that (with the exception of Cradle) doesn't cost a ton of
money.

I'm willing to include non-creatures, but they need to be ridiculous.

Craterhoof Behemoth? Seems good with so many creatures. Avenger of Zendikar? Because why not? Maybe stuff like Overwhelming Stampede, for really smashing things. Idk, just suggestions.

Craterhoof should be in the list - I'll move something.

Triumph of the hordes? Seems like a nice surprise to have up your sleeve.

What about garruk, caller of beats, archetype of endurance, and the two xenogeese?

This deck is part green, so I'd never play it.

That said, I love how you've decided to counter a meta with this. I also love how you could literally flip the entire deck when you resolve Primal Surge.

With that in mind: How about Urabrask? If you have a way to give all your shit haste, I didn't see it. I really think you need something so that you can always win when that card resolves. Alternatively, Purphoros. Boom.

Sylvan Primordial has to come out, so there's at least one spot.

Haven't played the deck in a while... people got the hint.

The deck won very few games, but it helped sculpt the EDH policy at my lgs:
-If redthirst is playing, it is a game of Archenemy until he's dead.
-Once redthirst is dead, everyone left can now play a game of EDH starting with a random life total between 1 and 40.

Also, the deck has Urabrask already. It also has Ogre Battledriver as Urabrask Jr.

Did you ever get to resolve Primal Surge?

Sorry I missed Urabrask.

Still, Purphuros.

Resolved Primal Surge a few times - it simply won the game every time.

Lurking Predators Seems like an auto include, Beastmaster Ascension or Asceticism might not be bad ether

If I still played the deck, I think I'd definitely give Predators a go.
