Attention: Never play this in your female meta!

Well, jokes aside now... This G/W weenie deck tries to combine the "spam speed" a of typical weenie deck with the strength of high drops.

The creature that lead to the creation of this deck is Essence of the Wild . Its mana costs may be expensive, but with Explore , Path to Exile, Garruk Wildspeaker and Awakening Zone , there should be more than enough mana fixing. In case you don't get to draw Essence of the Wild , there are enough other cards to make your weenies a serious threat (Intangible Virtue, Beastmaster Ascension, Gavony Township and Garruk Wildspeaker).

I used to play Gravity Well to deal with flyers since there are no flying tokens in this deck, but it proved to be a dead card in way too many games, so I decided to take it out in favour of some additional manafixing. So now Worship and Path to Exile are the only cards left to fight back your opponents flyers, but most of the time that is more than enough.

Some nice combinations:

Khalni Garden + Selesnya Sanctuary (+ Explore and/or Amulet of Vigor for max. profit)
Awakening Zone + Essence of the Wild
Garruk Wildspeaker + Selesnya Sanctuary

Any help/suggestions/criticism is welcome and highly appreciated.

Note: Tokens that enter the battlefield as a copy of Essence of the Wild are still considered tokens! Effects such as the one of Intangible Virtue will still apply.

Edit

As some mentioned, this deck does fairly good in the later game, but it lacks speed at first. Instead of working on the mana base, I decided to get rid of 1xGravity Well and 1xParallel Lives to include 2xAmulet of Vigor. I think this decision will greatly improve the efficiency of the non basic lands.
