Magic the Gathering: Three Ways the Tiger

Magic the Gathering, I have not been actively buying cards for the game since Mirrodin back in 2003, but I still have a box of the cards I fish out every now and then to challenge a few friends to a game.

As with anyone who has played the game and grown fond of it, there are a few cards which I particularly like, and I thought I would share a deck of mine with you, which happens to contain most of my favorites from the green color.

I would also like to mention Force of Nature and Mwonvuli Ooze are both great cards, and can be slipped into this deck if you feel like it.

This deck is called Three Ways the Tiger.
It contains.
17 x Forest (land)
4 x Aspect of the Wolf (enchantment)
4 x Thicket Basilisk (creature)

1 x Naturalize (instant)
1 x Fungus Elemental (creature)
1 x Elven Cache (sorcery)
2 x Call of the Wild (enchantment)
2 x Worldly Tutor

Why is it called Three Ways the Tiger?

Offensively, this deck has three major mechanics involved, each of which can seriously mangle someone if you manage to pull them off.

First, the combination of Worldly Tutor and Call of the Wild, allowing you to search your library for a creature card and put it on top of your library deck for a mere one mana, then, spending another four mana, bring that creature instantly into play.. notice if you will, that there are three Craw Giants in this deck, which can come into play for two less mana than the cost listed on the card.
