This very heavily creature centric aggro build took down the SCG Standard Open this past weekend.  With seven one-drops and 12 two-drop it starts out of the gate building up a critical mass of little guys then piles on pumps to grow them into significant threats.  Using Rootborn Defenses to shrug off sweepers like Supreme Verdict or Anger of the Gods the deck is highly resilient and able to flow a constant barrage of threats.  The clock it places on opponents is so fast they won’t have time to think.
