The tribal Beasts deck

jphsnake (Jack) is a master brewer that I have worked with before. His creation Love Train (link above) got 3rd place in the first season of the Pauper Gauntlet. Jack is most well known for his appearance on the TV show King of Nerds (season two).

This is a casual brew he created in this article: http://mtgostrat.com/2013/07/keeping-watch-for-beasts-using-overlooked-tribal-engines/

I am going to use the original deck list. I talked it over with Jack and we figured the deck did not need to change.

The idea is to play huge beasts and beat down, thus the name. Wirewood Savage gives us some card advantage to help sustain the violence.
