here's what I've been currently testing:

1lotus petal

3lyrist
4ghazban ogre
4land grant
4quirion ranger
4river boa
4wild dogs

4incinerate
4kird ape
4lightning bolt
4mogg fanatic
4reckless charge

8forest
8mountain

...playing two colors is a definite liability and consequently makes the rangers less useful. what I'm trying to do here is bypass all the jank that comes with mono green (ridgeback) and find the best use for reckless charge (twenty-three 1cc creatures). I definatly welcome criticism because this isn't usually my kind of deck.

You might try land grants+taigas to add a red splash to a stompy deck. In that case I definitely wouldn't bother with incinerate or mogg fanatic (not aggressive enough). Ironically, if you do use charges rbacks get alot better:)

Oh, I see you already have grants, so am I correct in assuming you don't have taigas? If you do, they work with quirions so that helps there as well. In fact they become more useful as they can save taigas from wastes. Of course non-basic hate becomes bad news. Anyway, I'm not sure what your metagame looks like, but unless its entirely control 8 ogres/dogs is too many.

Also, 1cc creatures are the right idea with charge, but you ideally want them to be 2 power to get maximum benefit from the charges so you really have less than 23.

he's going for all commons, UBS.

he should add RANCOR!

I hate that card sooo much when it is played against me!

Recursive crap!

Stupidly good card for a common!

Oh, I didn't get the all commons thing. Definitely add rancor if its not already there

Freddie: UBS?

'd reccomend against Mogg fanatic. If you are running 16 land and 4 Land Grant, you can afford to cast Phyrexian War Beast, one of the best common creatures available.

Ogres and Dogs is a bad idea. Pouncing Jaguars are usually too slow, but if this is for an all common tournament, I think you'll see alot of burn, so drop the Ogres for Jags.

MTenda Lions will probably be good as well, as anyone playing all-common blue you should beat anyway.
