In defense of spikeshot elder: he's a pump with the double strike deck. him into rancor or bonesplitter can be hard to beat. he's most of the way I've tied red to that deck.
also keep windbrisk heights in. it's practically free, so even if it doesn't get activated all that often, it can still...
They do. Because of the way cata is worded, you can choose them as either an enchantment or creature, and they'll live either way.
Eg: Pick Land, Blade Splicer, Leafcrown Dryad and Golem Token, sac the rest
For the most part you usually arent ambushing anything with what's essentially a bear.
Don't underestimate fateful hour, I've done it and damn does it make for good stories :D
Okay now that I've figured out that image is supposed to be Yavimaya Hollow I totally agree.
Side note: Also a sick maze of ith variant, when you think about it. You both need a creature AND extra mana, AND need to be in green. That strikes me as pretty fair.
I actually like hallowed burial as a straight wrath, since it's nice that it stops the odd indestructible or persist dude.
I'm still wondering what to do with anthems. I'm not sure there ARE good ones out there, since they're either white only (and usually tokens is a 2 color deck) or too...
