Strategy
Chatterfang, Squirrel General leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, putting +1/+1 counters on things and growing them out of range. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.03.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Hazel of the Rootbloom and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Chatterfang, Squirrel General on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Toski, Bearer of Secrets keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Swarmyard Massacre for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.03 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by growing a threat past what the table can answer and connecting with it.
- Chitterspitter - Core to the plan
- Hazel of the Rootbloom - Ramp
- Toski, Bearer of Secrets - Card draw
- Deep Forest Hermit - Core to the plan
- Squirrel Nest - Core to the plan
- The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl - Core to the plan
- Swarmyard Massacre - Board wipe
- Pitiless Plunderer - Ramp
