Rancor would be ideal, at least until it cycles out. I'd use it over the Blessings of Nature , myself. Or the Ring of Kalonia

Oh, if we're going for counter based, you really ought to look into adding blue and going for a more Simic guild feel. Unless for some reason you're just absolutely set on mono-green.

Hey :D so i would love to run this deck, but i have almost 0 of these cards so i would have to buy them all. Which isnt that big of a deal, but im wondering, do you plan on trying to update this deck for post-rotation? I dont think there is much from m14, but of course we still have theros coming. Anyways i just wanted to know do you think this deck will have a chance post rotation? Since your best cards for the deck will be cycling out. Ooze, all your sorcery spells that give the 1/1 counters : / Let me know what you think, would love to run the deck like i said but i would also love to run it some how after rotation.

@herossurrender That's a good question! Rotation will definitely change the deck. I'm thinkin Enlarge could come in for Revenge of the Hunted , and maybe Give / Take could have a place in here. Maybe Vastwood Hydra as another source of counters?

Without the miracles it won't be miracle-grow, that's for sure, but it could still be a fun hexproof-heavy pump deck.

Let me know if you have any luck with it, I may give it a shot this week at our local shop.

Also we can use Forced Adaptation in place of Ring of Kalonia .

@MinscAndBoo

Yeah im sure we can think of something xD i was trying to think of something else to play in the deck if i splashed white you could run Archangel of Thune Which is always a pretty decent card in any deck that would run white. But yeah idk if i can make it to the up coming FNM but im going to visit my local shop and do some heavy trade in and bring some cash so ill buy as much of this deck with the trade ins :D but first thing is first ill have to buy my 4 Voice of Resurgence and 3 more Mutavault for my other decks, if i run your deck any time soon ill let you know how it goes, also keep the deck updated post rotation, ill be back to check it out for sure :)

There doesn't 'feel' like there's enough creatures. When you do get a hexproof guy and make him big, does the one guy 'go-all-the-way' ?

MinscAndBoo says... #11

Typically, yeah. I'd rather draw lots of pumps for one creature than several weak creatures and no pumps. Playtesting seems ok...there are a few more guys in the board as well.

Love the idea! Feels like it needs another 4-of 1 drop critter or something. But I like it! +1 for sure.

August 20, 2013 3:38 p.m.

MinscAndBoo says... #13

Thanks! Yeah, mulliganning is not uncommon with this deck. In playtesting though I am usually all set by six or even five cards. A few flash bros in the board await my opponent's edicts.

MinscAndBoo says... #14

Plus the large Miracle count can turn mulligans to my advantage >:-D

True, true.

@MinscAndBoo

Just noticed i have like 4 of your deck techs book marked lol. Well tomorrow, or today i should say, im up pretty late lol. Im going to my local card shop to purchase most of the deck, im going to try to make it to fnm but i dont think ill get a ride, and im lending my car to a friend xD Also i was thinking of maybe somehow splashing white like i said earlier and making it 3/4 green 1/4 white so i can play 4 Voice of Resurgence and 2 Archangel of Thune It might throw off the deck some bit though. But i hate having these voices and not using them xD Just think get some tokens on the field, then cast Blessings of Nature for miracle, make a couple 1/1 2/2 3/3 tokens go up to 2/2 3/3 5/5 big threat. But like i said we will see :D

MinscAndBoo says... #17

Hmm, you could make a good token-based version of this...what about Fungal Sprouting ? After pumping a creature, get tons of saprolings! Then your Voice tokens are gigantic as well.

Holy $#!% this could be the best deck ever! >< ba ba ba ba ba I'm Lovin it!

Haha, glad you like! Can't wait to bring the latest list to the next tourney. Wish I could make it to FNM this week. Feel free to give it a try and let me know if it pwns :D

lol I came here thinking..."Miracle-Gro" used to be the name for decks built around Quirion Dryad but that's not going to work in mono-green...lol. Nice build!

It scares me...

Slipshadow says... #21

It takes a real man to admit when he's scared. Just do what I do. Drink a half bottle of Z-quil and call it a day.

Yeah I remember the old miracle grow deck. It's one of the decks that really stood out to me from way back. That, and the old reanimator and My Own Prison deck.

August 23, 2013 11:30 a.m.

MinscAndBoo says... #22

It's funny, I think "Miracle-Gro" fits this deck better what with actual Miracles...that make things grow :)

August 23, 2013 12:24 p.m.

MindAblaze says... #23

@ Slipshadow. lol. Awesome. I don't know if I'd be able to work with half a bottle of Z-Quil in my system...cause you know...I'm working so hard right now.

Miracle-Gro just makes too much sense here...

August 23, 2013 12:38 p.m.

Slipshadow says... #24

Agreed. It's the most sensible name for a deck...ever. And it can whoop some boo-tay. You could call it Miracle Grow Yo Boo-Tay. Or not.

I might try replacing the wolfir avengers with Wild Beastmaster , just because enlarge/phytoburst/revenge of the hunted has ridiculous results.
