It looks like you started a GREAT deck...then went off on a tangent. I would build ZOO starting with these same lands and creatures. Then lose the artifacts and the Farseek for more: efficient creatures, pump spells, or burn. Like Adventuring Gear is neat...but couldn't that just be Rancor .

Hmm, looks good! I would remove Explorer's Scope for Explore thought, Explore is just great ramp. Looks solid though! I'll keep commenting as I think of things, +1.

buffy- Explorer's Scope allows me to avoid drawing lands late game though... i'll bring it down to 3 just cause according to ducttapedeckbox, it isn't necessary to have a set of them

jasonbrown669. i'm going to cut an explorer's scope for a woolly thoctar. is 20 enough?

If you want this deck more aggro-y than I would cut Beastmaster Ascension and Seer's Sundial . Both are cards longer games. Weaknesses I see with this deck are you running out of steam too early. You've got lots of one-drops, and then 3's and 5's. For aggro, you want to curve out really nicely. In your free slots, I'd add more 3-5 cmc creatures. Your one drops are really good because they're one drops. On third turn, a good 3cmc (like Wooly Thoctar) creature will beat your one drops.

"cards that get pumped as you played lands cause they just get stronger as the game progresses"

Just to clarify, you realize that the boost doesn't stack, right? Just some weird phrasing there in the description. If you want pumping as you play lands, you want landfall. Vinelasher Kudzu , Steppe Lynx , Baloth Woodcrasher , blah blah.

yeah. i know that they don't stack. i'll reword that. my bad. any suggestions?

If you are going for creatures that are boosted by lands, Flinthoof Boar is a must-have. Rubblehulk Is also good but not great with aggro strategies.
