My last suggestion of adding the Succession(sp?) to a forbidden ritual deck got me thinking about the card, and some semi-casually-abusive possiblities (warning: this is by no means meant to be broken-casual tech)
The idea of adding recursion to create some sort of wacky, janky Succession Engine
Anyway...i'm thinking about these cards:
Verdant Succession
Deranged Hermit
Nantuko Tracer
Greater Good
Gaea's Blessing
Yavimaya Elder/Granger
Wall of Blossoms
Wild Mongrel
The idea, of course is to amass an obscene amount of squirrels into play by using the most redculous, underplayed means necessary.
Breif Explaination of choices (and please correct/suggest anything if i'm wrong):
Verdant Succession: The little engine that could generate silly effects and will
Deranged Hermit: Black Market Squirrel Supplier
Nantuko Tracer: Used to recur Hermits in a to perpetuate the engine
Greater Good: Fine, underrated card drawing. This could really be a work horse if anybody ever gives it a chance. It sacs hermits to get the squirrel-o-matic going, it draws you cards in the process, and then makes you discard, hopefully a Gaea's Blessing, into the graveyard to repeat recursion. It can be used as an efficient means to find answers in your deck, or just to thin it out.
Gaea's Blessing: Creates loopy loops.
Yavimaya Elder/Granger: Granger recurs to put several lands into play in one turn (i know, they're tapped, and so is my bank account, so what). The elder can serve the dual purpose of either fetching you lands for faster mana, or by filling you hand full of cards to ditch to Greater Good, in case there's any goodies worth keeping.
Wall of Blossoms: D-FENZ
Wild Mongrel: In case, just in case you need to discard something right quick. And they're one of the best early threats ever printed.
So, that's it. The "big" idea. It's not all that grand in the grand scheme of things (grand!), but I think it could make for a fun deck none the less.
