Stompy 'Burn'

Don't believe that a green deck can play like a red one??? Wait till you see what Planar Chaos (the expansion set with colorshifted cards) has to offer!

Groundbreaker seems awfully familiar... Ball Lightning, anyone? Yep, it got colorshifted in Planar Chaos. 6 damage to the head if unblocked, and it has trample to boot, so it's almost guaranteed to deal some damage! If Ball Lightning was a good deal, this one definitely is, too!

That's not the only goodie which Planar Chaos has to offer. Uktabi Drake reads an awful lot like Shock, doesn't it??? It's practically unblockable on turn 1 unless your opponent has a Birds of Paradise or Suntail Hawk whipped out.

Timbermare is another 5 damage to the head for your opponent. Albeit that's the only 5 damage you are going to deal the turn it gets played, because it taps your creatures as well.

Need something to push those dudes over the top? Gaea's Anthem (a colorshifted Glorious Anthem) pokes their power and toughness over the edge. Those pingers and 1/1 chump blockers would not be able to deal with Uktabi Drake and Groundbreaker now!

To add even more explosive power to the deck, Future Sight's Magus of the Vineyard chips in with his mana producing ability. The only bad bit is that your opponent gets the 1st dibs on the extra mana; which may prove anywhere from irritating to downright suicidal (for you) at times.

Since you're playing a buttload of critters, the colorshifted Soul Warden in Planar Chaos (which happens to be green as well!) can chip in and give you a life boost with every pseudo burn spell you chuck out!
