I would suggest taking out the 3 Crowned Ceratok for an additional nylea and 2 Deadbridge Goliath . i understand having trample on your dudes is cool but nylea is much more effective and goliath is good in the grave to.

I don't think you really need Crowned Ceratok your better off putting extra Nylea, God of the Hunt in because the trample isn't conditional it has an extra ability and can be a far better creature and most likely will be with the amount of devotion you have its also quite hard to remove. Also where are your Garruk, Caller of Beasts his second ability has potential for you getting Worldspine Wurm out by t4. I also don't think you need as much land because its a ramping deck. Its kinda similar to my Rampy Rampy i seriously suggest adding Xenagos, The Reveler his ramping is amazing and his other abilities are nice as well.

ownageban I would definitely agree with swapping in more Nylea, God of the Hunt for Crowned Ceratok , only issue there is pulling/trading/having the money for some more of her! I did originally run a couple of Deadbridge Goliath but found they didn't synergize well with Scavenging Ooze and I prefer the Ooze due to some lifegain and graveyard removal against opponents. Thanks for the feedback though :)

beakedbard I do have some Garruk, Caller of Beasts I think you're right there for sure, do you reckon it'd be good to take out a few lands for 2-4 of him? Yes Xenagos, The Reveler is a good idea as well, I may have to look into trading for one! (although more would be preferable xD)

I'd say keep your lands to 20 but you can go down to there with the amount of ramping you have although until you get the extra Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx I'd keep it at 21-22 atm. The Skarrg Goliath and Vastwood Hydra aren't massively needed i would say and as i stated before the Crowned Ceratok need to go.

The way i see it atm (until you can get another Nylea. Xenagos and Nykthos).-3 Crowned Ceratok -1 Vastwood Hydra -1 Skarrg Goliath -2 Forest .

+2 Garruk, Caller of Beasts +1 Worldspine Wurm +2 Gyre Sage (don't underestimate him with the amount of things that can evolve him in here constantly) +1 Kalonian Tusker +1 Arbor Colossus .

When you get the three you need ignore the final two suggestions take out 2 more forests add +1 Xenagos, The Reveler +2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx +1 Nylea, God of the Hunt .

That's what i would do at least i hope that helps.

I like this deck, I have a mono green as well, I am on my phone so I can't link it easily but please look at it and my standard naya :)

beakedbard I've just realised it's Garruk's Horde not Garruk, Caller of Beasts I have, sorry total derp moment there! :( Would you recommend playing those? I can at least get to my creatures quicker, and he's not bad by himself. Can deffo try the Kalonian Tusker and Arbor Colossus but don't have another Worldspine Wurm or any Gyre Sage s. How about Experiment One or Renegade Krasis ?

Magiclover318 thanks! I will check out your decks as soon as poss :)

Garruk's Horde isn't really an amazing card its worth playtesting in here but i doubt it will help you much. Experiment One is definitely worth adding with the creatures you have he evolves quick and becomes hard to remove. Renegade Krasis on the other hand looks amazing but i find he really doesn't end up working that well unless you have a spell that can put counters on all your creatures at once. It should really be whenever he evolves put a counter on your creatures one of those cards that annoys me because it should be better than it is. :/

I advise looking into some trading for Garruk himself you need him in here more than any of the other cards I've suggested. Oh and lastly sideboard Alpha Authority you need something to keep those giants around against heavy removal decks.

Alpha Authority is a great idea, have only adjusted my deck slightly for now, however I will try Experiment One in place of Crowned Ceratok and see how it goes in testing, thanks for all the advice :)

Looking at the deck it seems to be a little scattered, the idea is obviously good but consistency will be lacking. I gather that card availability is probably the biggest factor in this, which is fair enough - but you should definitely try to streamline it a bit, try to eliminate dead draws as much as possible.

I don't really think Karametra's Acolyte is standard playable to be honest, she's really much better in limited - by the time you have 4 mana available you want to be casting bigger things!

The Mistcutter Hydra s can probably be moved to the sideboard to come in against blue decks, as the slots they take up in the main deck could be utilised by something a bit more powerful - a couple more Kalonian Hydra s perhaps?

I realise that the Colossus of Akros is very tempting for a ramp deck to include but I feel that he is too expensive and inefficient to warrant a spot in the list. Opposite end of the spectrum but Burning-Tree Emissary can be very effective devotion-wise (it counts towards both green and red), as well as being basically a free creature if you also have a Sylvan Caryatid or Elvish Mystic in hand.

Last but certainly not least, I would recommend including a few Voyaging Satyr to get maximum value out of your Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - tap 2 + Nykthos to get X mana, untap Nykthos with Satyr, use 2 of the mana from Nykthos to activate it again, and bam - all the manas!!

These suggestions might make your deck look a lot more like the mono green devotion deck going around at the moment, but it's a great deck that's capable of some absolutely ridiculous things. Have fun! (Oh and +1 for a fellow greenie :))

Thanks for the suggestions :) The deck definitely isn't always consistent I do agree, my turns 1-3 are nearly always the same which is nice, but then it's kinda "let's see which creatures I top deck!"

Whilst I only have one Nykthos at the moment I'll probably keep in my Karametra's Acolyte , they are a bit clunky, but they've helped me get out Colossus of Akros and Monstrosity him on the same turn (felt so good!), however it's not consistent enough. I'm thinking when I can acquire 2/3 more Shrines I'll go for your suggestion of Voyaging Satyr as a much better and efficient mana ramp & combo.

Kalonian Hydra is possibly my favourite card in this deck tbh, he can come out so early and nearly always win the game within 2 turns, unfortunately it's a case of only having one of him though! It is tempting to put a few of him on the "pay day buy list" with Nykthos though, because he'll sort out consistency and is just super awesome :)

I kind of like Colossus of Akros just in case the game is dragged out a little more than I'd like, as I said I have found it possible to play him.. Comparing him to the Hydras he's definitely not as mana efficient, so I may just see how the deck plays with/without him post-payday when it's more streamline as you said :) Thanks for the +1!

With all the +1/+1 counters in this deck, you may wanna consider Ordeal of Nylea . It ramps you, buffs your creatures, and thins out your deck. Putting it on Reverent Hunter is always fun.

My only concern is your reaction to a boardwipe like Supreme Verdict .

I built a similar deck a while ago, you can check it for more ideas if you'd like: Call of Nylea.

Hey there, check out my version of this deck for ideas, if you'd like.

deck-large:devotion-to-green-18-10-13-1

I've extensively decktested mine and found I beat almost every deck except heavy control with boardwipes (if they can beat me to 6 mana I've done something wrong.) and thats ONLY when I draw a bad hand. The deck is fast and hits HARD. Don't let people dissuade you from using Garruk's Horde . Generate 20 mana, then play 4 cards from the top of your deck and you'll understand why. Ceratok isn't giving you much, if anything in this deck. You could use your 4 mana slot more effectively. You already have nylea giving everything trample, Ceratok is next to useless here. Put in more Nylea (+1) to ensure you draw her at most a few turns in.

Yep that all makes sense, I would say grab a couple more Kalonian Hydra s as their price has dropped a fair bit since they came out! Still not "cheap" exactly but worth the investment. Good luck with it! :)

I'd have to say drop Crowned Ceratok , add two more Arbor Colossus and another Nylea, God of the Hunt . Also drop Worldspine Wurm , Vastwood Hydra and Skarrg Goliath for another Reverent Hunter , Scavenging Ooze and Kalonian Hydra . Switch two forests with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and drop two for Garruk, Caller of Beasts . I know it's a lot of suggestions, but I really like mono green and I definitely think this'll work better :) good luck and +1!!

Thanks for the advice everyone, have thought pretty heavily about suggestions and checked out both decks for inspiration. I've just posted an update on decided cards I'm going to put in when I've got the money :) (instead of putting it all in a reply) Also want to add 2 Golgari Charm s to help against boardwipe, but unsure what to take out of my sideboard, any ideas?

My first thought would be to say that 4 Elvish Mystic , 4 Sylvan Caryatid , and 3 Karametra's Acolyte migh not be enough ramp to support things like Worldspine Wurm and Skarrg Goliath . I would definitely put in more ramp stuff. But that might just be me, though.

For the charms, you could take out Naturalize since Golgari Charm also destroys enchantments. Also, have you considered Plummet instead of Windstorm ?

twospires I've managed to get out Skarrg Goliath turn 4/5 before so I think the ramp is okay, will be changed a little soon anyway with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and 3 more Kalonian Hydra which is much cheaper :)

thePESSIMIST that's a good idea, totally forgot about Golgari Charm s other uses! Gonna do that right away. I have considered Plummet , but with having a lot of mana available in this deck, and Windstorm potentially wiping a whole team of fliers out I decided on that instead.

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

If you're running hard on mana, large creatures, and +1/+1 counters...then Gyre Sage is literally the best card for your deck. If you throw it in, with the amount of enormous creatures you have, as well as your Kalonian Hydra s...then Gyre Sage is going to be insane.

inanimateblob thanks for the idea, Gyre Sage could be insane in this deck actually, possibly in place of my Kalonian Tusker s or a couple of Elvish Mystic s, seriously suprised how cheap he is selling for as well, could be a great investment.

It actually isn't as good as you'd think unless you can keep get on the field, I was running the in my deck with the same basis and she just got removed or bounced as soon as she hit the field, plus she can't tap for mana unless you evolve her. worth a try with the Kalonian Tusker you have

@RebeccaRose Wow. I will never disrespect Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx again. Didn't think it would work so well. Good job, +1.

definitely I would main deck 1-2 more kalonian hydras the fact he doubles ur counters before combat is just insane not to mention ur trample

Thanks twospires!

Edeadda I will be main decking 3 more as soon as I buy them (hopefully at the weekend!)
