So, I've been running Stangg as my main deck for a couple of years now, and I love it. My biggest problem though is the number of games where it doesn't make sense to actually cast Stangg because he is competing with all the other powerful six drops. I figure I probably play him in a little over half my games, but I'd like to get that up closer to 100% (through deck construction, rather than through just casting him even if it's the wrong play).
As such, my favourite cards in the deck are ones that have fun Stangg-specific synergies that make him into a great deal at 6 mana. Here are a few of my favourites:
Garruk's Packleader - Two bodies and two cards is a fine deal Ulasht, the Hate Seed - When you follow up Stangg with the Hate Seed, Ulasht gets four counters even with no other creatures on the board Lovisa Coldeyes - Two hasty 5/6s for 6 mana is nothing to sneeze at Thunderfoot Baloth - Similarly two 5/6 tramplers, though this is less exciting because the Thunderfoot is just a great card in any green deck that wants to beat down
I'm also running a bunch of Overrun and Collective Unconscious effects to take advantage of him being two dudes, but those don't have quite the made-for-Stangg appeal of the above picks.
So tell me, what other cards out there would make you want to slam Stangg down on the table and cackle with glee?
