This is a deck I made around the most awesome creatures of all time, the squirrels. This deck is very fast and deadly, capable of pulling out billions of squirrels in a few turns and gaining billions of life as well. No one likes going against it haha. Let me know if you think theres somethin to change about it and rate it and I will return the favor! thanks!
Please rate/comment my G/U landfall, Exploring Dragons, and Locus of Wolves. Any input would be appreciated and I'll return the favor

Squirrels are obviously the best archetype ever.

Here are some suggestions to improve, though. This deck needs more land and less ramp. The last thing you want is to be mana screwed because some idiot Lightning Bolted your Llanowar Elves. Plus, who wants to waste time casting Rampant Growth when you could be casting more Squirrels?! I would recommend AT LEAST 23-24 Forests. If you want, some number of Forests can be Oran-Rief, the Vastwood instead, to pump up all the Squirrels that you can throw into play.

Instead of the lifegain you have going on here (Luminescent Rain, Essence Warden), why not just win the game when you have a crud load of Squirrels? Use Overrun and Doubling Season to finish your opponent off with your army of Squirrels. Overrun wins as soon as you cast it. Doubling Season makes all the spells you cast go bonkers, which wins the game easily.

Even Earthcraft isn't enough bang. More mana is unnecessary if you run enough Forests. Run Garruk Wildspeaker for another win con. The Squirrels you have can be used to chump block any attackers your opponent aim at Garruk and then -4 to make the remaining Squirrels really big and win the game.

Hope this makes your deck even harder to beat. Sure, people hate losing but it's hard to not laugh when you die to Squirrels.

ok first off squirrels... awesome awesome awesome creature type!
but also squirrels used to be in tournaments what caw-blade is today!
squirrel nest was super popular!
and this deck today is kinda just eh in terms of winning... too many day of judgements and slagstorms sideboarded especially for a deck like this!... but hey if you wanna make it better start by using Nature's Lore or just replace land search cards with LAND! and also to make squirrels all the more deadly play something like Coat of Arms? seems like you need it! also do yourself a favor and sideboard Elixir of Immortality as well as Explore and maybe throw in some more draw cards! you need to get your spells out faster because today wiping the field way too easy so find a way to make your creatures indestructible flying and get +1/+1 oh yeah nvm that is Eldrazi Monument also a good sideboard idea... maybe these hekpful hints will make competetive but i dont see it being likely option although it is a great deck for being squirrel oriented so grats!

I hate squirrels. but to improve on the deck you have. skullclamp will let you play your whole deck in one turn if you have the inf combo out. then its all about protecting your combo. dont worry about wrath of god because you can just remake the billion tokens next turn. you need to worry about naturalize type cards more. i really dont see why this made it to top 10 though.

I can't see anything to add. I think the deck looks fun.

Actually, I thought of something. Coat of Arms would be a very fun addition to this deck. I tried the draw hand feature, but the hands didn't turn out too great.

Most decks now have 24 lands, allowing them to have a better chance of drawing lands. That would help the drawing problem.

why do you guys do that all of you are all up tight about 24 lands maybe it runs better for him/her with 20 the more lands you add the less squirell spells he can play and yes i totaly agree with you using natures lore instead of Rampant growth Eldrazi Monument would be a flavour full addition and since you need mana and got creatures i would try getting hold of Gaea's Cradle they would solve your mana problem

Good job i really like the way you put your deck togeather. Maybe a little more flying or reach. and its always
good to have more color protection. In my opion a couple cards with proliferate and +1 +1 counters never hurt.
also if you would like check out my deck's and give me a couple tips and pointers. Im always up for advice. and
always ready to help others. Thanks for reading my comment. Hope too see yours on one of my pages.

If you would want to win in a way besides just overrunning your opponet with a billion elves i would recommend Epic Struggle . Just a fun little well...if you have a fog... i still win.
Its all fun and games till someone throws a 25/25 flying your way.

i can only give your deck a three. Sure it's really cute and seems like it's a blast to play. But a single 2/2 first strike completely thwomps your deck mate.

@ Uryah: When your swinging with a stupid amount of squirrels, a single blocker doesn't matter

I used draw hands to solitare some games out, and the deck seemed solid, especially with Earthcraft, it effectivly makes your squirrels mini feast and famines.

I vouch for those, and leaving your mana the same, more spells are great!

Coat of arms is a great suggestion as well...

Awesome deck, looks really fun. You might consider a card, I think it's called Druid's Call, I know it's from Odyssey anyway. It's an enchant creature, whenever enchanted creature is dealt damage put that many 1/1 green squirrel tokens into play. Slap that on Scion of the Wild and watch your legion of furry death grow bigger whenever it's blocked. That's all I can think of to improve. Otherwise looks really fun. Makes me want to out all my old squirrel cards.
If you look, please rate or make suggestions. You rate me, I'll rate you.

Earthcraft is banned in legacy, contrary to what the system thinks.

This deck has been done many times before, much better than this. 20 basic forests? really? That can go down to 18, as you only really need 1 basic + 2 other sources. More ramp, some fetches to thin it out and some way to deal with disruption would be nice.

Also, I wouldn't let you play this in casual, and it's not legal in any format but Vintage...so where, exactly, do you intend to play it?

Here's what I think. It's an awesome casual deck. I'd let you play it. What people don't see...especialy with board wipes, in a casual enviornment, don't always show up when you need them. Board wipes will not affect this deck as much as naturalize will.

The primary combo you want to protect is Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest. That's infinite creatures right there.

I'd take out Scion of the Wild, Luminescent Rain, Two Forest, & Two Squirrel Mob's.

I'd replace them with

X4 Oran-Rief, the Vastwood
x4 Naturalize
x4 Fog

That's just as a starting point. You want to try and protect your Squirrel Nest and Earthcraft Combo.

I say 22 Lands as long as Llanowar Stay.

pretty sure Massacre Wurm would definitely affect this deck mate... and most black decks should definitely sideboard something like that not to mention my black decks also side board Consumee the Meek which would hold this deck to a standstill! and yes destroy enchantments do also hurt this deck badly and white decks have loads of those as do green and that hurts this deck. it is way to vulnerable and infinite combos are too dependent when they are like this.

A parallel lives would make this deck a win machine... if you had a way to pump up the squirrels. Maybe a vigor? doesn't really go with the theme, and the mana cost is quite high for this deck, but a pyroclasm would just turn all of your squirrels into 3/3's. I bet this deck is good, but there are many decks out there that would give you a very difficult time.

this deck i see here is outstandingly collaborated together. I feel as if you took time personally to think each indivual card out and thought how each card would benifit other cards in certain situations. Now that i have seen your deck put together this well i think i will go and buy this deck and all of the other decks you have created. I will rate this deck a five out of five stars. great job on putting this deck together. Keep the great decks rolling on in. Congrats dude.
