Have you ever considered using Titania, Protector of Argoth as your commander instead? Considering this was an Azusa deck before, Titania might have better synergy with the rest of the deck. You could slap Azusa, Burgeoning and Exploration back in.

I have not considered Titania, Protector of Argoth. Mainly because Titania doesn't fit my deck's gameplan, which is more or less green stompy. Azusa may have been my commander before, but the deck was more or less the same as it is, except with just fewer ramp cards.

If your playgroup plays with planeswalkers, that's great! EDH is after all a flexible format. But typically, Nissa isn't elligible to be a commander, is she?

She is. Nissa, Sage Animist starts out as Nissa, Vastwood Seer Flip. A legendary creature and is thus eligible to be a commander.

Since you are running snow covered lands and you seem to ramp your way to big creatures, may I recommend you Extraplanar Lens, so you only can benefit from the double mana effect unless somebody else runs snow covered forest

Extraplanar Lens is precisely the reason I use Snow-Covered Basics. Except that I don't use Lens anymore. It was cut long ago when I was cutting mana doublers I can't tutor for. I decided to keep my big-mana cards more creature/land based so I can tutor for them and they aren't affected by cards like Wave of Vitriol and Bane of Progress.

I have a question if I may, how well the great Aurora has been for you ? Ever since ive seen this card spoiled i was wondering in what kind of deck it would fit and how to properly use this card.

I don't often get the chance to play The Great Aurora, but when I do it's usually when someone's boardstate is a little too hectic or if I want to mix things up. However, its main purpose is a green sweeper that hits creatures.

What do you think about including Karn Liberated and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon ?
May 15, 2016 8:36 p.m.
I have had Karn Liberated in the deck before, however he was cut because I wasn't really hurting for removal. I have the same opinion on Ugin. They're better for colours that have problems with specific permanents like Black and Red.

How to put images on the back like you did to the elemental in this deck? can you teach me friend?
June 23, 2016 3:19 p.m.
Honestly, I have no idea. A friend of mine just gave me the the means to have the background, I don't know how he did it.
June 23, 2016 4:51 p.m.
What he's given me was specifically for this background with Ashaya. I don't know how to change it.

Would you consider Dragon Throne of Tarkir? It's just ridiculous when paired with Worldspine Wurm. Love the deck... +1 from me.
July 2, 2016 12:06 a.m.
@lucal13 I considered Dragon Throne of Tarkir when it was first spoiled. It's good for an army, yes, however I find that Pathbreaker Ibex is a better card that does basically the same thing. I can fetch for it and it's easier to bring back from the yard. Also, it doesn't leave my Worldspine Wurm sitting in a chair while everyone else goes in for the kill.

may i suggest Myojin of Life's Web and Praetor's Counsel for some crazy swings in games. You can empty your graveyard into your hand then recast all your creatures with myojinn
July 14, 2016 8:50 a.m.
@monkeyprophet I've used both Myojin of Life's Web and Praetor's Counsel in the deck before, and they both ended up sitting in my hand most of the time because of the lack of things in my graveyard because of grave hate like Rest in Peace and my other cards that take things from the yard, and not having enough creatures in my hand to make Myojin's ability worthwhile.

Great looking deck! I love green beatdowns! Check out my green fatty deck! Omnath, Locus of Creature Ramp

@cmsrDPM Yisan I feel that he works better when he's built around, kind of like Birthing Pod.

Would you consider adding Panharmonicon from the new set? Its use is probably limited by your current lineup but 7 of your creatures (If I counted correctly) have ETB effects including your commander but the effects are all pretty large.
I am working on a fatty beats build right now but I took out the eldrazi titans in favor of creatures with ETB effects like Terastodon and Regal Force.
I do like that your build is focused on being able to tutor most anything you may need. Its always nice to see similar decks taken in a different direction. I would like to ask you how Setessan Tactics has worked for you. A possible sub-theme of my deck may be fighting since Foe-Razer Regent works well with ETB effects as well. I was considering the tactics but thought it may be slow?

Using It That Betrays isn't beneficial for this deck as I don't have a lot of ways to force my opponents to sacrifice permanents and there are no decks in my meta that would have a hard time with an It That Betrays hanging around.
I use All Is Dust because monogreen has very few options when it comes to sweepers that can remove creatures. And All is Dust is my best option for that purpose since the cost can be decreased to 5 by Eye of Ugin and can be tutored with From Beyond.
