I have small penchant for building "theme" or Tribal decks. Thought this one up a while back. Block the important stuff, fight the thing you want to fight and pump the stuff they let through. Not a tier one, but will steal a few wins here or there.
Creatures 2x Aquastrand Spider 4x Juvenile Gloomwidow 4x Plague Stinger 4x Deadly Recluse 2x Typhoid Rats 4x Ambush Viper
Enchantments 4x Rancor
Land 4x Evolving Wilds 5x Swamp 11x Forest
Spells 4x Unearth 4x Mutagenic Growth 4x Reclaim 4x Prey Upon

I also happen to love theme/tribal decks One note about the deck: CUT RECLAIM! Seriously! Reclaim is Card Disadvantage (CDA) in it's purest form. You use one mana and one card to do nothing. I would much rather have some removal in it's place like 2x Doom's Blade & 2x Diabolic Edict. I could also see myself running one or two Ranger's Guile in this type of deck maybe.. Do you have sideboard? What is the gameplan for this deck? Perfect starting hand?

Plague Stinger doesn't belong in the deck. If you're looking for a 2 drop that fits your theme go with Thornweald Archer. Prey Upon is also terrible in this deck. Against the big stuff you really want to kill you will be spending two cards to deal with them. You are already playing black so just stick some real removal in there. You need to add Viridian Longbow. It turns most of your creatures into killing machines. I feel like this deck needs a bigger win condition but maybe it can be like monoblack control and just get there by clearing the way for tiny creatures.

Bobblyigg: wow thanks! thats the kind of information that i need.
So if i take out the 4 Prey Upon and 4 Reclaim and put in 3 Longbows I've still got 5 spots open. Removal maybe? Or what? Also I thought of the Archer, but I went with the Rats instead.
Oh as far as sideboard I emailed this list to MikeyK and he was going to forward it to the guys to see if they wanted to talk about it on the show.

Some removal options for those last five slots:
Snuff Out Tragic Slip Maybe even Tendrils of Corruption?
Or, you could try to add another pump spell to the mix, like Vines of Vastwood or Predator's Strike.

You could also try Elves of Deep shadow and maybe be able to cut down some CIPT fetchlands with it's help? Just another possibility..
I would definitely put at least 3-4 removal in the free slots. Diabolic Edict and Doom Blade are my suggestions. They just get the work done!
