The card that really makes Beasts a deck type.

Unfortunately lowering the mana cost of this card wouldn't have been game-breaking either.
Yet i know this card from casual play, it can do a lot of damage and makes every little one-drop real pain in the...well, you know.

Changeling Berserker/Changeling Hero/Changeling Titan -> Infinite Damage

Just have them repeatedly champion each other. Of course, you need some other creature first...
Wall of Omens/Wall of Blossoms/Krosan Warchief/Wirewood Savage are good choices that also fit well in the deck and serve this purpose.
Graceful Reprieve can be used to save your beasts and get comes-into-play effects. Otherworldly Journey works in similar fashion.
Swarmyard will regenerate your "Squirrel" Beasts
It's useful to Cultivate some acceleration in this deck, as you're not doing much until you can get out your Aether Charge. The rest of the deck is fog-themed with Moment's Peace and Tangle being particularly useful.

It's really silly in multiplayer when people don't know what I'm doing. Usually someone will look at my cards the turn before I win and say, "Ohhhh... ...Shit". That being the case, it's best used utilizing surprise.

Huh. So this is where they got the idea for Where Ancients Tread.

That's not a combo. That's using the cards.

A combo would be like:
Cliffrunner Behemoth as you'll gain 4 life when you use it (supposing you have a white permanent) and Cliffrunner will gain haste because of this (supposing you didn't have other red permanents.)

The first card to inspire me to make a tribal deck. Since then I've been very fond of it.

Turns all of your beasts into Goretusk Firebeasts, without the prohibitive cost or hilarious flavour text.

That must be a slow moving meteor. Unless they have a telescope, they wont be able to see the teeth with the naked eye until its too late.
