Jolly Gerbils seems like an excellent inclusion, giving you an extra card every time you give an opponent a gift, but there aren't enough gift cards to justify its presence
Together, these cards make it hard for opponents to stick their best plays on curve
Im not targeting it in a dedicated way
If you cant contain Hardened Scales or Winding Constrictor, youll have to match them on size, so both of those things lead to me keeping Scavenging Ooze in the deck
If you need something specific, Rune-Scarred Demon lets you tutor up any card you want when it comes into play, making it a fantastic target for Shadowborn Apostle.
It's a massive 12/12 creature, and if everything goes according to plan, it'll only cost you a few mana to cast
