a monogreen mana ramp deck****NOT DONE YET, accepting suggestions!!
feel free to upvote :)
~~
I made this deck because one of my friends said that my life-gain deck was OP, and another said that I'm not very aggressive and don't swing very often.He also said that he didn't spend $40 on his deck, which is why he can't keep up with my life gain deck. So I decided to make a cheap OP deck with which they won't ~want~ me to swing with, but I will anyway. Because they don't know the meaning of OP.So here it is.
A $20 deck which can be lowered to $10 by omitting just 1 card, with the easy possibility of getting Eldrazis out by T4/possibility of getting 13 13/13s out on the board by T4.
Playtest it and you'll see what I mean. (hopefully)

----> COMPLAINING ABOUT MY BUDGET <----
I REALLY want to add more Mana Reflection but the card costs $10/card and I'm on a budget after spending $50 on my Seraphim life gain deck. Can you imagine, though, 2 Mana Reflections out on the board? drools
Without Mana Reflection, though, the entire deck would cost $10 - that's just as much as much as any crap official pre-built deck they sell in the stores, and it wouldn't really play that much different from before.
I would also REALLY like to add more Eldrazi, because this was actually supposed to be an Eldrazi deck in the first place, but I scrapped the idea because most of the colourless decks that you see are around $200. I don't have that type of money to spend even if I wanted to, and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is a $30 card - already way too high for my deck.

1 ideal play:
T1: Drop Forest + Llanowar Elves/Fyndhorn Elves
T2: Drop Forest + Llanowar Elves/Fyndhorn Elves + Tap elf + forest to get Priest of Titania
T3: Drop Forest + Mana Reflection + Priest of Titania
T4: Drop Forest + Gelatinous Genesis.
-------> total:
4 mana (forests) + 2 mana (llanowar elves) + 8 mana (priest of titania) = 14 mana * 2 (mana reflection) = 28 mana to play Gelatinous Genesis
13 13/13's on the board by T4... Or we can wait longer and keep ramping up our mana, with Elvish Archdruid... And it'll be even more OP in a few turns. We can also get out Joraga Treespeaker and level her up to 5 easily in 1 turn and then all of our Llanowar Elves and Fyndhorn Elves can be tapped for 2 mana instead of 1. And should they counter Gelatinous Genesis, I have 4 in the deck, so whatever, that means it's just more mana-ramping time!
So yea... this puts my old life-gain Avacyn deck to shame ;__;

---> COMPLAINING ABOUT CARD PLAYABILITY <---
I really want to add Oracle of Mul Daya because it would be nice to be able to put down 2 lands per turn, but if I don't have lands in my hand/on the top of my deck, then she's just cluttering my deck. Besides, I have many ways of mana gain already -- and she's situational.
And like my friend always says: for a 40 card deck, if it's situational, it's not going in.
I really want to add Scorned Villager
because I have a head-canon ship of her and Avacyn, Angel of Hope, the center of my life gain deck, seraphim, but she just costs too much for my early mana ramp - I'd rather be playing Priest of Titania for 2CMC, and I am going to be playing 2+ spells per turn if I can, so I probably can't use her +GG transformed ability much. I might consider buying a few of her anyway just to use as my ooze tokens because i'll be needing a lot of them lol.
