Thoughts & Criticisms for Z!

Good Stuff!

• Excellent synergy you have going on. A Synergy I'd like in your main-deck is Ivy Lane Denizen + Mycoloth . I understand that Mycoloth is a bit pricier than you're looking for, but the card is excellent in Ghave.

• Great mana-base for the budget; Karoo lands are awesome. Next step I believe is to add Canopy Vista as well as Isolated Chapel and Woodland Cemetery. Potentially the new WB Man-Land Shambling Vent, since this is a pre-constructed deck.

• Ramp suite? More like ramp sweet. ;) You know I love my ramp. I think you could potentially replace either Cultivate or Kodama's Reach with Explosive Vegetation. One or the other, not both.

• Utility lands. A man after my own heart. The ETB lands are sweet. I'd add a couple different effects including Grim Backwoods for card draw and additional sacrifice. I like Krosan Verge and Myriad Landscape also, but I'd prefer to see Krosan Verge if you decided to run Canopy Vista. Myriad Landscape is two lands out of one, which can't really go wrong.

Less Good Stuff!

• True Conviction is WWW and you're not running a ton of effects that guarantee white. I'd rather see Archangel of Thune since at least it gives you more counters. Conviction just seems sooo awkward.

• Just because you built a pre-con doesn't mean you don't run removal. I'm nearly disgusted by your lack of creature removal. Two creatures and two non-creatures isn't enough! Shriekmaw is a dude that kills stuff. Skinrender is a dude that kills stuff. Eater of Hope? Nekrataal?

Personally the big card I'd like to see in here is Mycoloth and preferably the removal of True Conviction since it doesn't particularly synergize with anything other than a maybe-board card.
