Just a quick rundown of all the cards.

Creatures

Courser of Kruphix: Helps to plan the next turn along with allowing you to just move the land out of the way so you can draw the more powerful cards that much faster. The life gain is nice too.

Voyaging Satyr: It's basically an extra land, and it really comes in handy when used with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.

Sylvan Caryatid : A useful blocker early on, and he has hexproof, and it's pretty much an extra land but better.

Scavenging Ooze: He does come in handy, especially against decks like mill, dredge, and even a few burn decks.

Heroes' Bane : This guy is a beast. It takes almost no effort to boost him up and once you really get going, he can grow well past 8x what he starts out as in just one turn. Mix his ability with Xenagos, God of Revels for even faster growth.

Savageborn Hydra : Has a 2+x cost and double strike. If you get him early on, you can use him like a blocker. Or you can use him later on and just make him as big as you can.

Hydra Broodmaster: He comes with monstrosity x, which lets you bring in lots of fairly big tokens while you're at it.

Polukranos, World Eater: Big critter, that can potentially wipe the board. What else do you need to know?

Xenagos, God of Revels: A god who doubles the power of one creature till end of turn. Unfortunately, Purphoros, God of the Forge wouldn't do quite as well, seeing how the focus is to bring in big critters as opposed to lots of critters. Also, while Nylea, God of the Hunt could be useful via her trample giving, that just isn't as awesome in the long run. That and her other ability is pretty pointless when compared to what the other creatures can do on their own.

Land

Forest: Really? Do I need to explain this?

Mountain: Cause I thought the basic lands would be pretty obvious...

Temple of Abandon: Scry and two colors, the end.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx: Abuse this to no end. If you have a devotion to anything >3 you should be abusing this as much as possible.

Sorcery/Enchantments

Flesh / Blood : This is in here mostly just for Blood . I mean, you basically get to turn one of your biggest creatures into a burn spell. And for just two mana to boot! I guess you could also use Flesh if it tickles your fancy at the time, but Blood is just so much more useful.

Bow of Nylea : Hmm, so all my attacking stuff has deathtouch. And I get a choice to: A) Make one of my guys bigger. B) Poke at flying stuff. C) Life gain. D) Or get some of my stuff back from the graveyard. Basically, never make a green deck without this.

Planeswalkers

Domri Rade: +1: Ooh, look a critter's coming up next, I'll just grab him now. -2: Oh no! they brought out something scary! I'll just let my bigger guy take care of that -7: Well, all my creatures are going to rip you in half this turn, good bye. My plan for Domri is, abuse Domri as much as I can. If I can use her -7 ability, yes I will use it, and by then I'll probably also have another Domri to take the old one's place.

Xenagos, the Reveler: +1: Yay, mana! +/-0: Oh look, free blockers/fuel for the +1. -6: To be honest, I don't plan on ever using this one. With my luck, I'd wind up using it and getting nothing but spells, planeswalkers, or cost x hydras. Basically, Xenagos is just in here to make mana and half goat babies. That's it.

Sideboard

Mistcutter Hydra : Cheap to get out, and can rip blue decks apart.

Ruric Thar, the Unbowed: For those annoying control decks. Just get him out and watch them bash themselves for 6 life just to try and get rid of him.

So that's about it. Thanks for making it this far into my rambling. Any and all comments/critiques are welcome.
