Den Protector with a bestowed Boon Satyr would be powerful too, but it doesn't really do anything this deck can't already do. Plus the single green devotion is a big downside in this deck. Once I have enough creatures to make Aspect of Hydra big, I can usually win by attacking with everything and playing it on whatever goes unblocked. This deck is very likely to play Nylea, God of the Hunt every game for trample aswell. Thanks for the suggestion.

first off I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say "Servant of the Scale to go with Mastery of the Unseen" as they seem like a Non-bo. Mastery would manifest a Servant as a 2/2 but you can pay the morph cost cause that would leave you with a 0/0 (ETB effects don't trigger on a morphed card).
Hardened Scales could be good with the amount of counters you have here or you could pull it in a more counter oriented play style by adding in one or two of the outlast guys (I'm looking at the first strike and flying ones). Adding/keeping in Hydras is also always a good way to focus on counters. Mistcutter Hydra is a good one and I would suggest putting it in the side board depending on how much Blue you see because its is super effective. Hooded Hydra is also highly effective because its power stays on the field even after it has been removed.
Sunblade Elf is just a straight up cost effective card (though it has lost some power due to shock land no longer being standard ;_;) and has something for you early and late game. and I'm posotive that there are others like this, but I have to goo soon so I cant do too much digging ATM. I would really love to see some ramp in here to :P Elvish Mystic comes to mind and it wont break your wallet either. It is incredible what a little well timed manna can do.
and the side board seems like it is, well... a bit useless to be brutally honest. I haven't played much standard so I can't really say but it feels like you could be getting more out if it. For instance, one of two Feed the Clan vs mono red, some exile permanents vs combo/control and enchant destruction is always nice too.
Sorry for the short novel :p but G/W aggro is one of my faves. And good luck at FNM. I'll look forward to hear how you do.

Wow, I don't know what I was thinking about that side board. I was pretty out of it when I made it up and wrote the deck description. I'm happy with the main deck, just swapped one Nylea for a third Surrak. I still don't know what exactly I want to do with the sideboard, but I've decided it's best to give up on Mastery of the Unseen, it just doesn't make sense with all my enters the battlefield cards. Tuskguard Captain might actually be good, there are a lot of times where trample is what I need to win. I kinda like the white first strike guy aswell.
Everyone tells me to add ramp to my green decks and I always resist. I really like how every card here is a potential big threat. I'm relying on the Nykthos shrines or long games to play the dragons, other then them I feel there is little benefit to adding any ramp.
Sunblade Elf wouldn't work with my mana base and I find the deck only works if every land produces green.
I like Feed the Clan, It's worked for me in other decks
Anyways thanks for commenting. I'll rewrite my description when I have time.

You need like 60 Charging Badgers and 15 more for side deck. I Find your lack of badgers disturbing.
