My take on post-rotation G/R Monsters. This is a rough shell that hasn't considered a lot of good cards. I'm using Rattleclaw over Caryatid as the 2-drop mana dork.

This deck seems like it would be fairly resistant to Thoughtseize and spot-removal decks given the density of threats - 40% of the deck are value creatures that I don't mind using.

Polis Crusher is the most limited at the moment and will probably be trimmed down for something like Boon Satyr, Hier of the Wilds, Chandra, Pyromaster, or any number of spells. Chandra seems like it would be great here as a card advantage engine.

Xenagos, the Reveler is not present because I boarded him out for almost every matchup since May except mono-black devotion and control. I want to try more creature-oriented threats to better benefit cards like See the Unwritten, but maybe I'm totally wrong.

I always liked Fanatic of Xenagos, so I hope he works out.
