I'm not seeing any swamps or black cards in here. Why are you using Verdant Catacombs ?

July 16, 2014 12:30 a.m.

Verdant Catacombs is there just to tutor for their shock lands.(Stomping Ground and Breeding Pool )... Any of the fetchlands that pull out forests work so it just comes down to what you have laying around lol (Also it's most likely a remnant of the Golgari hydra deck Cal said this deck started as)

I've remade my Golgari deck. Just have to post it. But I can't take the Verdant Catacombs outta here. The fixing it does is too important..

Plus I think i'll be playing around with Lotus Cobra (s) to see how much that'll speed things up.

Hahaha Thanks xD... Just figured I'd type it out so you wouldn't have to lol

I love Lotus Cobra and it's synergy with fetches! Two free mana just for playing and popping a fetch land speeds things up considerably.. Your friends'll be dead before they even know the games started lol

Vexing Shusher would be great in the side board since you seem to have a lot of blue hate. It may be stronger just because it's repeatable. Also, Ranger's Guile is a more versatile version of Avoid Fate . It will stop any sorceries that target your creatures in addition to Auras and Instants. It can also be a small pump spell in niche cases where that matters.

Nice deck! +1

I'm personally a huge fan of Silklash Spider for anti-flying

Corrosive Gale is purely better then windstorm, because the green-mana symbol is made Phrexian.

Im a big fan of green decks, and this is one of the best I've seen! +1!

However, I couldn't help but notice that the highest mana cost in your deck,(other than Genesis Wave ) is only seven. I was wondering if you could consider adding Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , or Worldspine Wurm ?

Overall great deck!

Actually 2jstudios i've been considering playing around with Elderscale Wurm .

I want to keep it around 7-8 CMC because of genesis wave. It's the sweet spot for casting it around turn 3-4 and you can hit it for 7-8 mana (Plus the 3 G so thats 10-11 mana turn 3-4) and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Worldspine Wurm would just fizzle in the wave if you can't cast it far enough.

Although they are great mashers themselves. They can be built in much better shells that can abuse them to their fullest.

Thanks for the comments and +1 though =)

Nissa only untaps forests for me, Yeah she makes lands beaters but I want to keep my lands safe for a G-wave.

And Genesis Wave is strictly better than Genesis Hydra due to being able to drop Lands as well. (This includes things like Kessig Wolf Run , Boseiju, Who Shelters All and Cavern of Souls )

G-Wave costs 1 more mana and Genesis Hydra triggers the deck spell even if it is countered, since it triggers on "being cast"

Caligula says... #15

But OpenFire, Genesis Hydra only lets you pick "A" permanent. Where as Genesis Wave lets you cast everything.

Good Ramp suggestion:
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx with either Nylea's Presence or Prismatic Omen to make it a forest, allowing Arbor Elf to untap it for huge ramp.

If you don't want to use the enchantments, then you can use Voyaging Satyr over Arbor Elf , slower, but can untap even your utility lands if need be.

Looking sharp bro!

OpenFire says... #18

Yeah, it is worse, just not strictly worse. Deck looks good though, +1

July 20, 2014 11:35 a.m.

Caligula says... #19

Denial048 You're right, And this deck has gotten a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx in it. Just for that reason, well Garruk Wildspeaker can untap it too =)

aeonstoremyliver just have to aquire the last pieces (Lotus Cobra and 3x Verdant Catacombs ..) and then I can say that this deck is complete and has won my heart haha.I'm currently running Coiling Oracle in place of Lotus Cobra until I can acquire some....Calling WovenNebula trade me your cobras =)

And OpenFire while not strictly worse it's better to look at Genesis Hydra if your needing that one big masher drop (And it has to hit the board) but that's why you can abuse Primeval Titan and Boseiju, Who Shelters All for the uninterrupted Genesis Wave

July 20, 2014 1:01 p.m.

Turn three Prime Time is awesome, and made possible by:

T 1- Forest, Dork

T 2 - Land, Cobra

T 3 - fetch land, sac, tap everything, Prime Time!

I know! Lotus Cobra was the one card that I can use to make this deck faster.too good.

Honestly, I don't see any reason for Stomping Ground to be in a mono-green deck other then to show how many non-basic lands you own.

paytolee .... I need the red for Kessig Wolf Run .....

July 21, 2014 4:34 p.m.

paytolee says... #24

I guess it can pay for Kessig Wolf Run , but that isn't really needed either...I don't think the -2 life is really worth that.

Kessig Wolf Run uses red mana from Stomping Ground
