$0.29

Naya tokens that ramp out a flying dragon, turn each hit into a pile of Saprolings, then pump the swarm for a lethal attack.

Rith is a 6/6 flyer for six mana. Whenever it deals combat damage to a player, you may pay {2}{G}, choose a color and create a 1/1 green Saproling for each permanent of that color. On a typical board you name green, which counts your mana dorks, green creatures and the Saprolings already out, so every hit snowballs. The deck ramps hard to land Rith early, keeps {2}{G} open after combat and runs anthems and token doublers to turn a wide board into damage.
In the recorded games, Avacyn's Pilgrim and Green Sun's Zenith for Dryad Arbor got Rith down fast, and Doubling Season and Sprout Swarm stacked tokens quickly. Cathars' Crusade, Beastmaster Ascension and In the Web of War made the Saprolings real attackers. One win came from Defense of the Heart fetching Aurelia, the Warleader and Purphoros, God of the Forge, so every new token pinged the table. The deck often won over several attacks rather than one big swing. Board wipes, bounce on Rith, Lightmine Field punishing wide attacks and big life gain from opponents slowed it down most.
