Hi all who read this  Very Happy

After all the time i played with techdecks and i-need-my-mind-decks, i decided to play without my mind. So lets play stompy. (yeah yeah, i know, very orginal Wink )

I got some questions about my deck?

I don't know which weenies are the best.
I already putted in:
- 4x rogue elephant
- 4x skyshroud elite
- 4x elvish spirit guide
- 4x pounching jaguar
but i know this isnt enough creatures for stompy, but i dont know whichs weenies are playable with a low rate of mana

Ok the Pumpers:
- 4x rancor
- 4x giant growth
- 4x bounty of the hunt
i dont know if berserk is reliable and effective enough in stompy.

Ok the manabase, i saw many playing with 10 lands, but if i play a test game, 10 lands isnt enough, what cards do i have to put in to speed-up my manabase? (moxes or something)

Already thx for the advice and tips  Very Happy

Moved to the correct forum.

Also, the search button is tech. Many threads on Stompy and the far superior Oshawa Stompy already exist to answer all your questions.

Most Stompy decks run 9 lands, a few run 10.  You're running 4 ESG and 4 Land Grants, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Traditional Stompy does NOT want Pouncing Jaguar, you really don't want any echo creatures.

I would suggest

4 Rogue Elephant
4 Vine Dryad
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
4 Wild Dogs
4 Skyshroud Elite
4 River Boa
4 Quirion Ranger
2 Ghazban Ogre

4 Land Grant
4 Bounty of the Hunt
4 Giant Growth
4 Briar Shield
4 Berserk

10 Forest

Of course, that listing is Stompy circa Beyond Dominia era(taking into account the unrestriction of Berserk), but honestly, Stompy died shortly thereafter.

That list looks ok, but Wild Dogs and Ghazban Ogres are too risky in my opinion. I'd drop them for 4 Rancor and either 2 Winter Orb or 2 Null Rod.

To anyone that says "Berserk is just another Giant Growth," remember that Stompy doesn't mind having another Giant Growth, especially one that gives trample. It's a great finisher, and the first one you draw can be pitched to Vine Dryad or Bounty of the Hunt if necessary.
