llamamymamma, thanks for the suggestion man!! I prefer the immediate power and blocking ability provided by my fatties, but Rubblebelt Raiders is an interesting idea. What would you suggest I replace with him?

Nice deck. I like it a lot. Maybe take out 2x Reverent Hunter and a Kalonian Tusker or any combination of those two for the Rubblebelt Raiders . Just know the lack of trample is a problem but it makes your Elvish Mystic or other smaller creatures a better late game asset.
Check out some of my decks and please comment or upvote. Any suggestions are welcome.

After playtesting with Rubblebelt Raiders I found that he simply doesn't fit the deck. Yes he adds three to devotion and can get big but he is simply too unreliable. In order to make him worth his cost, I have to be swinging in with everyone, leaving no blockers behind and risking my mana dorks in combat. This deck is simply not that aggressive. It's job is to big dudes as fast as possible, not to do suicide swings each turn. But I do appreciate the suggestions and want you guys to keep 'em coming.

For M15 I would suggest Back to Nature in the sideboard and also Genesis Hydra . Genesis gets massive, plus his ability activates when you CAST him, not when he enters the battlefield. Meaning that even if he gets countered by a Dissolve or something, you still get to use his ability. Great against control. Plummet is good in the sideboard against decks that run Archangel, Stormbreath, or D-Demon as well. Chord of Calling is good as well.

Hydra Broodmaster and Life's Legacy too when RTR rotates out.

I like it. I'd throw in another hydra or two. Genesis hydra, kalonian hydra, and hydra broodmaster would give you stuff to do with the absurd mana you'll create. +1!

Great deck +1
I loved playtesting it against my own--gives them a run for their money!
Thanks for posting.

In my opinion, you should remove 1x Genesis Hydra to add 1x Hydra Broodmaster, because you can get more hydras... and for 13 mana... SIX 6/6s

buttergolem Thanks for the suggestion!! I'm personally not a huge fan of Hydra Broodmaster and would rather use that 13 mana to drop a huge Genesis Hydra or use Polukranos, World Eater to kill something. But i'll play test with it and let you know how it goes.

If you are going to run hornets, might as well run Setessan Tactics mainboard. It's REALLY evil. Other then that, it looks fine!

I would recommend Soul of Zendikar as a mana-dump, and he is a great blocker.

SwaggyMcSwagglepants I love me some tactics but running them mainboard leaves me open to being two-for-oned , so I save them for decks like Temur where i need the additional removal and they lack a large amout of instant speed removal.

The_Wolf_Pack Soul of Zendikar is something I have been considering for a while. On one hand Arbor Colossus does the same job of blocking for cheaper and adds more devotion. On the other hand soul provides extra bodies and even gives me an insurance policy if he dies. What would you recommend me replacing for him?

Soul for Arbor, it was a decision I never regretted when playing Mono Green.
