The Beaters
Wild Nacatl – is a 1/1, 1 drop that becomes a 2/2 at turn 2 and 3/3 by turn 3.
Cerodon Yearling – a 2/2 2 drop that has haste and vigilance. A head on attacker and can defend during your opponents turn.
Wooly Thoctar – a 5/4 3 drop. Come on, this card isn’t hard to not like.
Bloodbraid elf – a ‘one-for-two’ creature that has haste. So if lucky enough, you drop Bloodbraid then get a Cerodon Yearling, a 5 damage on offense and you can top it of with Colossal Might.
Gloryscale Viashino – now here’s one heck of a threat. A 4 drop 3/3 with a +3/+3 for every multi-colored spell played. So here’s a nice scenario:
TURN 1: 1 forest, drop Wild Nacatl
TURN 2: 1 plain, drop Steward. Nacatl is now 2/2
TURN 3: 1 mountain, drop in Gloryscale. Nacatl is now 3/3 & attacks with Valeron.
TURN 4: 1 (land), play Sigil Blessing on Gloryscale(now a 9/9), Nacatl at 4/4 and Valeron at 3/3. Then play Colossal might on Gloryscale now its a 13/11 with trample!
Enlisted Wurm – a 5/5 6 drop with cascade. If lucky you’ll be dropping another beastie or playing a ‘Steroid Spell’ at the same time pumping your Gloryscale Viashino.
Spells
Oblivion Ring – a budget version of Path to Exile. A decent spot remover.
Naya Charm – can be a spot remover with the 3 damage to creature. a card returner. or tap all creatures so all your beaters can pass through.
Colossal Might – a good pumper with Trample.
Sideboard
Qasali Pridemage – is anti enchantment and artifact. Bye, bye scourgalss
Celestial Purge – is another decent spot remover. Affecting Esper, Naya and Jund and anything with black and red in their color.
Valeron Outlander – Goblin Outlander! Eat your heart out..
Glory of Warfare – is a pumper for both ofense and defense. Pumps up all critters, especially your Gloryscale.
Sigil Blessing + Glory of Warfare = Stampede
Price based on card pricings here in Manila. Have a happy playtest!

ah, but there is something you missed good sir, the colossal might also is a multicoloured spell, therefore he would get an extra +3/+3 making him a 16/14 meaning if there were no defenders from the nacatl, then turn 4 attacking with a 4/4 a 3/3 and a 16/14 would be win easily. Unless your against a fog deck :c
