Based on an old thread about Doran, the Siegetower and spiders, I got the idea for a Halloween themed deck based around Doran. This is an MTGO deck, so unfortunately, no Cemetery Gate, Wall of Putrid Flesh, or Wall of Shadows. I've left out a bunch of better cards that he should run in favor of more flavorful cards. Also, since this I did this on a budget, I didn't buy any cards that were more than .1 credits, so there's some on-theme cards I know I need, like Ancient Spider and Dungrove Elder.
You love pulling out the old school, don't you? Haunting Wind is neat, but not available on MTGO. The bats don't really make an impact. I thought about Spider Spawning... I ultimately decided against it because I'm not actively trying to load up my graveyard, and a handful of tiny tokens would really only matter if I had Overrun in my hand.
What I really need is a flavorful way to grant trample. I want Brawn and/or [c]Behemoth Sledge[/], but I cut them due to not fitting the flavor of the deck. Same with that enchantment which gives your dudes trample.
Garruk, the Veil-Cursed give trample...and look freaky enought i think. But its a lot of work to transform it and all..
Maybe a best idea to give your creatures swampwalk with Filth you know, creepy spiders going all around those swampy pit...
Need a Cyclopean Tomb for that (that the old school thing again.. )

The best option I can come up with would be Fangren Pathcutter, if you think the art is a good enough fit for the deck's theme. It certainly has the right P/T ratio.

what about sisters of stone death?
And also, Sapling could work well as commander for this deck if you re willing to let down white.

I like her, but she doesn't fit well with the Doran toughness matters theme.
Yes!!! I completely forgot about this card. It is available online and much cheaper than the actual one from Legends.
