As stated in the Combo Corner, the gears in my head are turning and I'm going to create a deck entitled: Machine Gun. This is the basis I'm going off of. Creatures are coming into play under my control and I'm sacrificing them immediately to blast people with the station. This little guy will do wonders. Sac him to go fetch a land which allows the Beacon to make more saprolings? Yes please, not to mention with Fecundity it'll allot me another card. This guy has some beef to him, he's a 4/4, he also allows me to return some creatures to my hand during my upkeep. I can also get him dead easily enough via the greater goods and blasting station. The rest I'm not going to give away. There's a secret weapon that lies within this deck, it enables it to become full auto. Creatures: 4x Sakura-Tribe Elder 4x Weatherseed Treefolk 1x Genesis 4x Caller of the Claw 3x Hunted Troll 2x Loaming Shaman 3x Golgari Brownscale 4x Essence Warden 2x Golgari Grave-Troll Total = 27 Spells: 4x Fecundity 4x Beacon of Creation 4x Blasting Station 2x Gaea's Blessing Total = 14 Land: 19x Forest

Now do we get to play the hint game? Seriously, give us a hint or two to go off of in figuring this out.

Fear the Caller of the Claw

Fear the Caller of the Claw I figured it had something to do with the Caller. Hm. Still not sure how that goes full auto... Wouldn't Soul Foundry/Ornithopter be a little more... effective?

I was using "full auto" loosely. Having 5-6 non-token creatures in play when you drop the Beacon of Creation allows you to use the tokens coming into play to untap the station, but you'll be sacrificing your existing creatures... allowing you to play a caller to get more tokens, which lets you use them to sacrifice the tokens made with the Beacon to the station. It's just a way to get a lot of 2/2 bears and do a load of damage quickly... while getting to draw a crapload of cards.
Holy crap that sounded confusing... at least it makes sense in my head X.x

Hey Batman (Damn that still feels weird to say)....
Dual Nature
If you utilize Dual Nature, you just get that many more creatures to sacrifice or use for their abilities. With Doubling Season, the possibilities are rediculous.

Dual nature only works when nontoken creatures come into play under my control. Also, I'm in no need to clog card slots in the deck with such things. Just wait, it'll work splendid as is. I'm thinking of adding 2 Golgari-grave Trolls through.

Being a Golgari Monger that I am, I have to suguest Golgari Germenation. "Whenever a non-token creature is put into your graveyard from play, put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play under your controll." Granted, they are not insects...but still 1/1 creatures when your stuff dies....can't ask for more than that...

That card was given high consideration and it would probably help a lot, but I'd have to splash black. I suppose I could only put in two germinations and like 2 swamps, the sakura tribe can go fetch them. All the card drawing should get me to them as well.

I'm deffinetly a fan. I'll see what I can do as far as space in the deck, because I may also want to run some putrify if I have the black mana.

What about Terramorphic Expanse? Or Farseek into Overgrown Tomb?

My 4 overgrown tombs are being used in my reanimator deck. Terramorphic expanse would be ideal under different circumstances, I need to be playing as many forests as possible to fully utilize the beacon of creation.
