MangoPunch I would LOVE Mana Confluence but right now when I use Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx I can hit pretty hight just with Courser of Kruphix or when I get a Hornet Queen out. I can also use two forests if I have an abundance to nykthos to Black even if I get maybe one devotion, and use a swamp to hit BB. There's plenty of ways to influence Nykthos rather than just hitting a big devotion from green and get a big fatty.

I want to interpret Commune with the Gods and Thoughtseize but I just don't know where they fit. And I have tried Nyx Weaver and it has done nothing but screw me. I currently only have 3 Caryatids which is why I'm not using a fourth. Also, Rabblemaster isn't as good as I thought he'd be in this, which is why I've dropped him down to 2.

C.drgn I've actually wanted to play around with him and even Kolaghan.

MangoPunch Also, the symbols may look low, but I have dead on percentage with my land base and it tests well.

For your sideboard, Destructive Revelry seems to be a whole lot better than Naturalize

I am building something similar.

Cards i have in consideration are Heroes' Bane, Nighthowler, Swarm of Bloodflies, Undergrowth Scavenger, Warden of the First Tree, and a few others. Thoughts?

Those are all really solid, but I feel Warden doesn't fit what this type of deck would do. He's a lot slower than what he could be and requires a lot of mana to be good. short.fuse

Nighthowler would work wonderfully. It is obtainable with Alesha and will usually be bigger than a 2/2. I would totally run at least 2, his bestow would make a difference in the long game too, using it on Mr. World Renderer.

the most obvious thing to do against control is run Thoughtseize and/or Brain Maggot

Find a spot for Dictate of the Twin Gods

oh gods. that would be insane.

So just sideboard a playset of Brain Maggot? And if I can get my hands on them Thoughtseize? DERPLINGSUPREME. MAGESTIC_LLAMA I'm scared to but now I want to...
