Eh really not that good honestly, we have many other ways of giving hexproof and altering our current efficient cards to the elephant token just seems not a great use of our resources.
You know what? I think we missed a good card for this deck because its just so subtle. Ranger Class Now the initial token isn't that much in a 2/2 wolf and while a non repeatable body that in itself does not provide devotion, its nice nonetheless. Like hex drinker it levels up. Now while this deck isn't really one for many mana sinks I believe getting to level 2 would be worth wile.
First off at level 2 you may put a counter on E1 or Barkhide Troll if they attack. Now it is limited to only one +1 counter a turn but if you need to hexproof barkhide or regen E1 during battle that is actually a benefit. Then it allows more counters on creatures we dont normally counter on like dryad, steel leaf, and avatar both before and after the fact. Alongside actually making pack leader easier overall since it or another creature could get the counter and only needs one of our one drops to draw a card.
I think a pair or trio maybe. Probably not a four off but who knows the token could provide good coverage? I will say that while level three seems interesting we would like as not ever have enough mana to sink for it unless were VERY on the down swing. Could replace Rhonas since other than 4 mana over 2 turns we dont need to keep much up after the fact. Also any copies that get to level 2 are counted as their own so they can put a counter on as well.
That's honestly what I've been thinking/what the discord community has been slowly coming around too. I'm probably going to run it as a 2x in my build.
However it's a bit slow, having to delay a potential good T3 play to get the level up, but I can see it being a payoff later.
One guy in discord ran it, and it constantly drew removal attention. so take that as you will.

It's easy to believe you're a god when you're twice as powerful as everyone else.
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've been on here.
Is there an active Discord server for Mono Green Stompy? I am in one, but there hasn't been a conversation in there since around a year ago.
I'm interested to see if Werewolf Pack Leader will be replacing Barkhide Troll, but they feel like sidegrades that depend on the meta.
I'm not completely sold on the Lair of the Hydra. Coming in untapped as land 1 or 2 seems very nice of course, but it still comes into play tapped on turn 3 (which is not insignificant) and the creature you get from it is a lot weaker than Treetop Village and doesn't have trample. Ranger Class does not seem good enough to me. It costs 4 mana to get 3 power and 1 devotion in play; it feels to me that it's more of a midrange/lategame card in comparison to other, more aggressive options.
These are all just my opinion without having played them, however.
(I still think that Smell Fear is a really cool card, but I'm afraid it's probably not going to be good enough.)
Sidenote: are there people still playing with fetches and Narnam Renegade, or am I the only one? ;_;
Has it really been almost 4 years since I've posted here? Boy time flies. I know our discord is pretty dead, but I wanted to post my new build. I've been moving a lot over the last few years, so I haven't had a chance to find a LGS for any FNM stuff to test it. I play on Forge, but the AI can only do so much ya know. Anyways, here is the link to my new version of stompy.

Here is the discord I am aware of, but I am not active in it https://discord.gg/Kz48Sr7
I also don't think the Arena only energy scythe cat would make it either, hypothetically speaking
