How it Works
The "Insatiable Hunger" deck is based around increasing your mana production to summon a horde of giants, beasts, and hydras to crush your opposition. Many of the creatures in this deck have the new tribute mechanic, which forces your opponent to choose whether your creature enters the battlefield with additional +1/+1 counters or gives you some beneficial effect.
There are a wide range of tribute effects, from Snake of the Golden Grove, a 4/4 that either gains you 4 life or becomes a 7/7, to the gargantuan Nessian Wilds Ravager, a 6/6 that enters the battlefield as a 12/12 unless your opponent is willing to let it fight one of their creatures.
To support your giant monsters, this deck has burn spells like Lightning Strike and Pinnacle of Rage, and even Fall of the Hammer, which deals damage to a creature equal to the power of one of your creatures. Your larger creatures should be able to easily handle most of the forces your opponent deploys in a match, so you may want to save your damage-dealing spells for creatures with flying or intimidate that you can't just stomp in combat.
There are plenty of red and green cards that fit right into this deck. Verdant Haven from the Magic 2014 core set allows you to enchant one of your lands to make it produce extra mana, as well as gaining you some life to survive until you can cast your big creatures. Flame-Wreathed Phoenix from the Born of the Gods set is the king of tribute. Your opponent has to either let you have a giant flying Phoenix . . . or give it haste and allow it to return to your hand if it ever dies!
