Changes 8/5/2017

1. Major Update: Added Thought-Knot Seer and Scavenger Grounds. In place of: Benefactor's Draught and Yavimaya's Hollow.

Yavimaya's Hollow always felt out of place. Scavenger Grounds is just way better in here. Now we get a GV hate card that can be tutored by Crop Rotation at instant speed. Unfortunately, sacing the land is part of the cost. Benefactor's Draught seemed great in here, but it never worked out. I've always wanted to test Seer, so here's my chance.

1. Testing: Wasteland, Manglehorn, Ramunap Excavator, and Regrowth. In place of: Cavern of Souls, Noxious Revival, Earthcraft, Lightning Greaves.

Cavern of Souls rarely matters in here. Wasteland gives us another Strip mine effect to combo with Ramunap Excavator. Manglehorn has been an excellent inclusion into this deck. My only complaint is that it isn't an Elf. Excavator has been underwhelming so far. I think he needs Azusa to really make an impact. He will probably get cut.

1. Considering: Craterhoof Behemoth, Lifeforce, and Treefolk Harbringer.

I cut Craterhoof awhile back because I focus more on combo lines rather than beatdown. Recently, I've ran into several decks that abuse their life total. Being able to get an Early Craterhoof can really set back or eliminate these players. I just hate drawing it! Lifeforce is an odd choice ehh? I like it because it gives us more interaction against Ad Naus / DD / Toxic Deluge / Tutors. It also shuts down black spells at the table. The only downside is if there aren't black players, then it's a dead card. If only Painter's Servant was unbanned, this card could definitely be in my deck. Lastly, I've ran into early hatebearer creatures lately (especially Linvala). Harbringer tutors for Lignify (to bad it goes on top of the library).

All for now!
