A really nice deck, with CONSISTENT turn 3 kills and spare mana for protection, and uncommom turn 2 (but not rare).
I built it from the commom mono green infect base, but it has some cards that in more than 1 year playing it, makes it a lot better!
I hope you like it, play it and upvote it! Constructive critics are welcome!
Some other nice points are: +++++++++++
You can mulligan relatively well till 5 cards in hand.
You just need 2 mana, and its commom to be able to keep a hand with just 1 land.
It is a really unknonw deck, people often are surprised to see a Vines of Vastwood coming from a Elvish Spirit Guide.
It makes people go crazy trying to remove your threats, giving you time to think around that and build a plan B.
It is really cheap for the quality of it! I playtested it against Tier 1 legacy decks and it went really well, among them: storm, elves glimpse, ur delver, stoneblade, reanimator, merfolk, burn, grixis pyromancer...
And we have some downs too: -------------
control decks can be a pain in the ass, FoW really make your life hard when droping a turn 1 creature.
I never really put much thought on the sideboard, so it's SB is really weak as shown here. For me, I almost never need to sideboard (against control and burn I use Wild Defiance and Autumn's Veil or Guttural Response, and for elves or delver I use Gut Shot). But you can totally personalize it for your meta. On the Maybe Board there is some cards I have tried and could help a little.
sometimes you can get your opponent to 9 poison counters, but that last counter turns really hard to get! Main reason why Berserk is the most needed/expensive card to get to this, since it gives you the +1 you need.
Just to get an Idea, here are some cards that when you have in your opening hand makes a really easy kill:
-2 or more invigorates + turn 1 creature + protection
-llanowar + glistener on turn 1 using elvish spirit guide
-2 might of old krosa + mutagenic
-any combination of free pumps and creature (mutagenics and invigorate), and so it goes
Some cards explanations: ???????????????
Elvish Spirit Guide: that's a huge help on this deck, it works a lot better than it seems. I lost count of how many creatures I saved discarding this card to use Apostle's Blessing, Ranger's Guile or Vines of Vastwood, that's the main reason for it. The other main use is to get that extra pump on turn 2, or even to drop your 2 CMC creatures on turn 1.
Llanowar Augur: use it like a blocker, but the main reason is to get +3/+3 trample without spending mana on that turn, helping you save mana for extra pumps of protection. In some games I even could pump it to hit, since people often go crazy with their own life (shocklands, thoughtseize, etc, etc) that if you can pump it to 10~13 you can kill them.
Necropede and Blight Mamba: depending on the metagame I would put 4x of one, Necropede when it have a lot of */1 or Blight Mamba when they got lots of removal. For general I like 2 of each.
Vines of Vastwood and Ranger's Guile: it was really hard to take out the 4x Vines of Vastwood and make it only 2. Almost all the time, when I needed to pay the kicker cost it wasnt enough. With Ranger's Guile i usually can get that 1 point that it is missing even if I didnt have to protect the creature. But since we run the Elvish Spirit Guide, this division (2 of each) can be changed without much problem, but in my meta I prefer 2 Ranger's Guile.
Revenge of the Hunted: that card to draw when everything is bad, it happend just once or twice since I started trying it. The main option usually is a 4th Llanowar Augur instead of this.
3x Berserk: it's a must, but with the cost I just can't afford it. It enters in the place of 1x Llanowar Augur, 1x Revenge of the Hunted and 1x Elvish Spirit Guide
