Yeva brings green surprises!

The name of the game is to keep the game state from going too insane by using green’s Artifact and Enchantment removal to take care of problem permanents. Cards like Deglamer (for Gods or anything indestructible), Krosan Grip, Reclamation Sage and Bane of Progress are the main ways to deal with either type and any of them can all be played at instant speed thanks to Yeva! Answers should be played only when absolutely necessary either to stay in the game or to keep an opponent from taking a commanding lead.

There’s a handful of ways to deal with other permanents such as Ulvenwald Tracker and Thorn Mammoth for creatures (Whiptongue Hydra for flyers specifically) and Brutalizer Exarch or Woodfall Primus for any noncreature permanent. Keeping any one opponent from leaping into a lead should be prioritized though ramping is another thing the deck wants to do early on so that there is plenty of mana to work with in the late game.

There’s mostly creatures to take advantage of Yeva’s ability to flash them in and a few redundancies because I love surprises. My focus tends to be ramp and draw in the mid-game and trying to keep the game from getting too crazy. There are a couple ways to help keep from dying too soon in Blessed Respite and Elderscale Wurm with the latter making sure that noncombat damage doesn’t get us either as long as it sticks. There are some tutors to find silver bullets or combo pieces. My favorite combo so far involves Great Oak Guardian + Karametra's Acolyte + Temur Sabertooth though it also requires enough devotion to be able to continuously bounce and play the Guardian. This can also in theory be done with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx + Voyaging Satyr replacing the Acolyte but it already involves a lot of cards.

The finishers are basically creature pumping spells like Return of the Wildspeaker or Great Oak Guardian (which is part of my favorite combo), big fatty beats or pumping mana into Squallmonger to burn out the table.
