Themed deck
Number one predator and prey

So I'd like to start out by saying I'd like to make this a  every other  weekly article, if that's ok with all of you? It's going to be all about themed decks starting with predator and prey: a red green and blue, wolf\fox and swine/boar  deck here's the  deck list:

{bladetusk boar}
{rangers path}
{fate foretold} x3
{tower defense}
{vulpine Goliath} x3
Island x 6 Mountain x  5 forests x6
{shock}
{messengers speed}
{pursuit of flight}
{timber pack Wolf} x 3
{zhur-taa swine} x 3
{gigantic growth} x2
{rangers path}
{briarpack alpha}
{phoytoburst}x2
{ordeal of nylea}
{brindle boar}
{izzet boiler works} x2
{curse of the swine}
{hunt the weak}
{predators rapport}
{thassa's bounty}
{gruul guild gate } x 2
{hunt the hunter}
{afflicted deserter} x2
{nivix, aerie of the fire mind }
{shimmering grotto}
{nettle swine}
{far seek}
{prey upon}
{dragon mantle}

With the power to deal huge amounts damage, Potential for life gain, extra draws and cards  to deal damage directly to your opponents creatures.

Now that we have the deck list I  play tested it against a blue black unblock-able deck (I can post it in causal if you'd like to see the deck) that will be tested against all future themed decks. The predator and prey deck won best out of three. The most prevalent combo was {zhur-taa swine}'s blood rush and {afflicted deserter}'s were wolf side. A devastating 10 point swing.
Along with a few more buffs its possible to swing for 20. A strong creature paired with a {messengers speed} is terrible to attempt to deal with.  Over all, I think this Is a good competitive causal deck. I give it a 6.5 out of 10. Just remember that you are the predator and your opponent the prey.

May want to note the format and possibly mid cost of deck. Just an idea. I know certain decks legacy or really expensive I am not interested in reading about.

Would be good to note the format, also linked card names ;)

The format is modern and the general cost is probably under $20. Also the cards are linked

In the list they are, but not at other points (read "How to Become a Sage" in the Articles section).
