*Sylvan Swarm starts off with small utility critters like Sylvan Safekeeper and Wild Mongrel, and then it gets out lands as quickly as possible to make room for big creatures like Hystrodon and Gurzigost. Victory condition: Attack w/ all, including a Terravore; SS all creatures you can, float as much mana as possible to play Tribal Unity and/or Overrun for the win.
*Time Machine puts out a lot of cheap creatures for chump defense and the occasional attack. At the start, it looks like it's in trouble, what with a bunch of easy-to-off creatures, but in the late game it finds numerous ways to come from behind with the pricier Cowardice, Future Sight, Aether Charge and Wormfang Manta. Win Conditions include:
I: Rites of Initiation+Firecat Blitz or Keep Watch, aided by
1. Cowardice, Unnatural Selection to bounce opposing creatures, then swing like crazy.
2. Future Sight, put out about 6 critters a turn
II: Too Many Turns w/ Wormfang Manta
Wormfang Manta+Unnatural Selection+Cowardice (6UU)
Wormfang Manta+Waterfront Bouncer (5UUU and 1 card)
Play a Manta, stack a positive turn on top of a negative turn, use the positive turn to stack another + on a -, keep doing so until you get what you need to win. Worst case scenario is that you get decked, you forget to play WM again, or somebody's holding back on an answer to it.
WARNING! If the loop is wrecked (Unlikely if not done by the first turn), you'll have all those negative turns to worry about and you'll almost certainly be defeated by the time you recover.
III: Beasts and Aether Charge
A.Charge, use W.Bouncer or Cowardice+Unnatural to replay any cheap beast. Victoly!
