Ok so heres the break down. Your one drop monkeys (Kird Apes, and Tree Monkeys) make this deck work. cuz they can be used as chimp blockers until you get your heavy hitters out. Kird Ape gets powered up when you control a forest and Tree Monkey can block creature with flying.  Use your Cultivates when you get them and use Lightning Helix to take out any flyers/unblockables/ or anything that just ruins your day. Once you have a solid mana base (5 or 6) the fun begins.  Play your Glory of Warfares and Mayael’s Arias as they power up your creatures for as long as they are on the field.  Mayaels Aria puts 1/1 counters on your creatures and Glory of warfare gives your creatures +2/+0 or +0/+2 depending on whose turn it is. They both cost one of each of G/W/R so 3 in total.  Your Naya charms can kill creatures, bring your back from the graveyard or tap your opponents depending on which option you choose. its another 3 mana instant.  Play your Raging Gorillas and Summit Apes whenever you get them and start swinging with the summit apes but leave Raging Gorillas to block. Raging Gorillas get +2/+2 when they block and if GLory of Warfare is down they already have +0/+2, so they become 4/7 blockers. Your Summit Apes can’t be blocked except by 2 or more creature as long as you control a mountain. They’re almost unblockable 5/2s. Once a solid mana base is going you can start playing your Ancient Silverbacks and Gorilla Berserkers.  Ancient Silverbacks are 6/5 with tap one green regenerate, and Berserkers are 2/3 BUT they can only be blocked by 3 or more creatures, have trample, and for EACH creature blocking them they get +2/+2. so if it gets blocked it gets powered up by +6/+6. its a beast. Titanic Ultimatum is a fun little Game Ender. Just go look it up. You’ll Understand.  But theres a more fun thing to do.  Throw monkeys. Yes. I said Throw Monkeys.  Fling works amazing in this deck becuase all your gorillas have such high power.  You have a glory of warfare on the feild. Its your turn giving your 2 summit apes +2/+0. they are 7/2s that cant be blocked except by two or more creatures. you attack your oppenent who only has enough creature to block one. he takes seven to the face and you fling the other one at him after blockers are declared for another 7. boom 14 damage to the face. :) Fling wins games with this deck. its such a great card. I used to hate it. till i made this deck. Now i fling giant gorillas at people.

There you have it guys. my Monkey Tarzan Deck. I hope you liked it. Happy Gaming :)
