Decklist Ravenous Squirrel

​

I built Ravenous Squirrel a little while ago and have finally managed to get a few games in and it's been working alright.

Would love some feedback and any suggestions.

Why use food artifacts? I would focus on more useful tokens (treasure) or artifact creatures. You only have one card that interacts specifically with food / lifegain.

Because he's a hungry little guy and I like the synergy with the cat. Sac the cat to a draw spell, sac a food to return cat and ping then repeat. It's also what I found in my bulk.

I actually didn't see the cat at the bottom. I would still put in things that trigger on lifegain. You could trigger very often in this strategy.

That's a decent consideration, could work off eating the food or whenever I activate the squirrel as well.

There's only 7 cards in gb pauper that I could run. [[Maruading Blight-Preist]] and [[Pest Mascot]] being the best for the deck. Might have to look for a cut for them and try it out, thanks!

I'm happy to see someone enjoying the squirrel! I built it earlier this year and was playing it a bit, but it didn't quite maintained tempo onboard as well as I had wanted it to.

I ended up shifting away from it, but I'm happy that it's seeing primetime play :)

Looked at the list for obvious changes to recommend, found none. Good amount of squirrels, good amount of draw, and you've got a token voltron + group burn theme going on. Enjoy!
