I highly recommend Khalni Hydra and +1 ;)

I agree! I went back and forth between Khalni Hydra and Primalcrux . I even thought about it over Genesis Wave . Primalcrux just ends up bigger than 8/8 on average; and I could only fit so much in :).

Khalni Hydra is amazing in Devotion decks though. I'll keep testing with it and make sure it's added if there's room.

And maybe 4 Strangleroot Geist ?

rathalos3000... You are 100% right. Four Strangleroot Geist is completely necessary. It's just too good in the deck. Thanks for your help!

Nice deck +1 :) (devotion in modern is GooooooooD )

Thank you Old_Man!!

why not run both Hydra AND Primalcrux?

Thanks NoahsArk...I'll test some where I switch out the Omnath, Locus of Mana and one Eternal Witness for Khalni Hydra 's and see how that works out. The tough part is taking other cards out. It's a suprsingly careful balance between the little guys, the digging cards, and the win-cons that keep the deck consistent. I do love Khalni Hydra and it should fit in a deck like this (given the smaller guys)...hopefully it will be even better! Thanks for the help!

Finding a way to get both Khalni Hydra and Blood in the deck. If the deck moves in the route of multiple "Fatties"...Flesh//Blood becomes a beating...we've added them to the "maybeboard" and will update the deck later this evening when the changes have been made. Thanks to everyone who has commented and/or +1'd.

While I like the way the deck is setup now! I think it is the most powerful thing you can do in modern right now. I have seen other versions of this deck that focus a lot on Genesis Wave and i think it is the right direction. In case you want to go that way, there are several things you want to do:

1/ More land enchantments like Overgrowth .2/ More untap land like Magus of the Candelabra 3/ A win con like Craterhoof Behemoth or Emrakul, the Aeons Torn

Without much card draw, you deck suffers from being unable to draw much, and you present just a couple of threats usually, that come out fast, but have the "dies to doomblade" problem.

A more resilient threat and more draw (Harmonize is always nice) are very much needed here, green offers few tutors and cantrips. That said, you have to have more tutors to fetch your green beaters. Call of the Conclave is the cheaper option, but you should shell out for Summoner's Pact .

Thanks Boza! Summoner's Pact is a brilliant idea! It has been added along with one Craterhoof Behemoth .

The first version of this deck was much more like Michael Jacob's deck (which is kind of "the template" for all the decks with Genesis Wave , Fertile Ground , Craterhoof Behemoth , Primal Command , etc. I do like the deck very much; but (a). I wanted to provide a different take on the devotion mechanic and (b) I found a few issues with the deck:

1. There were many somewhat "dead draws". You'd often get to 6 mana and have only a few mana cards and a Genesis Wave ...which wasn't powerful enough...it was kind of a "Win Bigger" scenario where when you won, you won by a lot; but when you lost, you lost by a lot. I'd tried to build this one to be a little less "flash" and a more consistent pressure. That said; it could also be that I'm not a talented enough player to take the most advantage

2. That deck had almost too much ramp (if there is such a thing :). The deck has four Fertile Ground , a few more dorks, etc. Again, this could just be my skill level; but they were cards I did not wish to draw late (and when your deck consists of 40% ramp; there's a good chance you will.

3. Nylea, God of the Hunt doesn't die to doom blade. Nor does Strangleroot Geist (the first time :). While your point is the most astute there is (without haste, both Primalcrux and Khalni Hydra die to doom blade.); I've tried to put enough win-cons in and enough card draw to make sure most games you have around 3 "big boys" and enough pressure to make sure they have to deal with them quickly. I do see what you're saying though; and will keep track of this and adjust.

Between the four copies of Elvish Visionary , three of Wistful Selkie , three of Explore , and two of Eternal Witness ; there's a pretty healthy amount of card draw/card advantage...but I understand your point. Being a green Mage myself, Harmonize is one of my top 5 MTG cards ever! I'll definitely test with it.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to write such a great suggestion and critique! It's truly helpful. Thank you.

Tested with ideas from Boza's suggestions. Harmonize seemed to be the best after all. We'll keep testing though to continue to try to make it the best it can be.

Damn. A modern green devotion with Primalcrux ? Recipe for hate! XD

why not 4 arbors?

Thank you for your comment RobossVampireHunter...we didn't put in four Dryad Arbor because you really only want them if you are in need of a creature (planning on ''Ultimating" Garruk Wildspeaker , have a tone of mana and only Nylea, God of the Hunt on board with no one to "pump", etc.)

When Khalni Hydra was in the deck, we had 4 Arbors (as it automatically reduced its cost by one)...but Dryad Arbor has summoning sickness; so it can slow you down if you play it on one of your earlier turns (as you can't tap it and it counts as your land for turn).

It's really kind of a "toss up" between Khalni Hydra and Nylea, God of the Hunt ; however we've found that Nylea, God of the Hunt is far more resilient and consistent (she can be cast much more often on turn 2-3, is indestructible, and can pump the small guys if needed...) The removal of Khalni Hydra led to the removal of some of the Dryad Arbor .

Why did you choose Sylvan Scrying , when Rampant Growth is the exact same mana cost and puts the land on the field?

Sylvan Scrying was chosen over Rampant Growth so we could grab Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx in situations we don't have one. You are right that traditionally Rampant Growth is better; but it only gets basic lands (somewhat similar to Farseek , etc.). That's the only reason; but it would be better if the land could come down immediately!

I hope you know that you can't tutor up Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre with Summoner's Pact . the Pact specifies a "green creature" and Ulamog is colorless.

canterlotguardian...you are exactly right! It has been replaced with Wistful Selkie 's. The card draw creatures are amazing in this deck. You have so much mana that you want as many cards as possible and the add to devotion. Changes the Description too. Thank you for your help. Made the Ulamog change at 5:00 am; amd obviously am but that good at this :). You rock! Thanks

You're actually not the first person I've seen make that mistake. Apparently it's more common than I thought. :P

It shouldn't be (reading the cards helps :), but that's why I love Tapped Out. I get to communicate with great minds/players like you to help mold a deck and fix my mistakes! It's actually even stronger this way (more draw gets you to the win cons and helps smooth out a problem a lot of green decks have of simply running out of cards.). I can't thank you enough for your help!!

Leatherback Baloth ?

unsung31...Leatherback Baloth is. A great card for mono green devotion. I will certainly test it out over Wistful Selkie and Carven Caryatid . My only concern would be not having enough card draw in the deck; but a 4/5 may be worth it :). Thank you for the suggestion!

Burning-Tree Shaman Primeval Titan Craterhoof Behemoth Genesis Wave ?
