@The_Antonio What do you suggest I put in to replace it? Just another forest?

that is what i would do because i would rather draw into a forest rather than a nykthos if you more than likely already have one on the field

My main thing with it is drawing into 1, playing it, using the Legendary rule to sac a tapped one, then tapping it again. What do you think about that sort of situation? 1 card for x mana = to devotion?

i was doing that play testing it but taking in removal and all that great stuff, i feel like devotion will be good but nissa +1 will be more efficient since it cant target nykthos. Like supreme verdict would end nykthos fast

Ah. I see. Well, this deck is taken into consideration that Supreme Verdict is rotating out of standard soon, as it was in RtR, so the biggest downfall of the deck isn't going to be present anymore.
Even still, other threats exist. I'm going to playtest and see where I get.

The Legendary Land tap sac should never be overlooked, especially when you are capable of playing Polukranos, World Eater and having him go monstrous in the same turn to remove any threats. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is a 4-of without a doubt.

if your running 4 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx think about running some Burning-Tree Emissary for the devotion.

I would, but this is post-rotation, so, unfortunately, that card is rotating out. =(

IRunOutofCounters - Dait dude this deck is just scary. I wish people took the time to read your analysis before they wrote unnecessarily repetitive comments. I've got little to say but WOW my WWu build is gonna go down if I don't play it out right against this.
Though I lied, I'd like to say a thing or two.
On the Negative, Chord of Calling and Genesis Hydra overlap a little in that neither plays the other. Chording into a Genesis creates a 0/0, duh, doesn't work. Conversely, playing an 8 cmc Genesis could put your Chords on the bottom of library, and if this happens before you get a Life's Legacy in hand, your hand's probably empty for a few draws. Of course with this build you'll never turn 6 cards w/o hitting a playable permanent, it just may not be a good one. Still, you may want to find a way to sneak in another Life's Legacy. Triggering any one of the Broodmasters with this much ramp seems to be THE win con of post rotation (because screw Elspeth), so I'd look for another way to get 'em out there i.e.- the Life's Legacy
On the UP - You didn't use a single Courser of Kruphix, shame on you, wait, what's this, 4 Back to Nature's SB? OH MY GOD HOW DARE YOU. That's an amazing tactic. Your only Ench. is Indestructible. Most of the Midrange schituff I'm seeing on this site will be annihilated by this one boarded Playset. So wow. Ouch
Well Done. +1

Three playtests in and I hit two Nyleas twice. So maybe drop one for a Life's Legacy, I dunno, it's only 3 playtests.

Thanks for the comment Volt! Nylea, God of the Hunt is one of the few cards in the deck I dislike simply because it doesn't let me come back when I'm down. But, when I'm up, it puts me over the top. I think I will take 1 out and replace with another Life's Legacy . I'll test this Friday to see.

Yup Yup.Just turn 5 Broodmaster onto the field AND Monstrousized (new word) x=4 with a Satyr+Nykthos. Also had a turn 3 Polukranos on the same game, early Devo and a Nykthos is toooooo much

Hey there, nice deck man. I was doing something extremely similar to this until I decided to splash a few colors. The reason I did that was because mono-green, while awesome at pumping out big fatties, is easy to disrupt and has no genuine removal (Hornet Nest is somewhat usable however). I was however, still curious as to how your mono-green deck would do against my own

Unfortunately, in my play-testing your deck didn't do too well. I noticed in particular that while your deck was generally better at ramping up mana, you were very susceptible to removal, and if you didn't pump out creatures more quickly than me, I started chump blocking and fishing out a Hydra Broodmaster or a plainswalker from my deck. From there I would keep disrupting your field and it wasn't long until I took the win.
As for fixes, I would strongly suggest splashing another color, either to get removal or to make your field a bigger threat. One way to go would to be to splash red. That way you would have access to big threats like Stormbreath Dragon & Xenagos, God of Revels . Plus, you could grab some cheap burn spells to get the extra damage to a player or creature, or simply pick off opposing ramp creatures before your opponent has a chance to utilize them.
Anyways, let me know what you think of my deck if you have the time, and really think about splashing another color or two so that you can shut down other decks with removal before you overwhelm them with your army of creatures.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll look into the other 4 colors and decide on a few things, specifically to deal with midrange and hard removal. Like the God... Ya. I'll look into it and perform some deep testing.

Nice Brew +1 perhaps add 1 Darksteel Citadell just for the fun with nissa and xenagod :)

if your splashing red, Generator Servant would be great in this deck.

Thanks for the comments!
@Hatchman - That is a fun idea! Darksteel Citadel turning into a 4/4 with trample... But I don't know what to take out to include it. In this deck, if I draw it and Shrine at the same time, I can't play anything. Fun, yes, but I want to make this as good as possible, even at the cost of fun a bit. =p
Nylea, God of the Hunt , while good, doesn't really sit well with me anymore. Sure, the trample is nice, but what it's kind of meh to me. My win conditions are going to be mainly a) field wipe with World Eater or b) play Broodmaster and make 5-8 X/X tokens, then swing for game, with the current god providing a bit of threat until that point. I won't be chipping down. I'll be doing one, huge swing. The cost ability just doesn't sit well with me and feels like I can just use the mana on something else in the deck and win next turn anyway.
@patsfan32189 - Generator Servant is an awesome card... When you need a quick burst of mana. That is not this deck. We gen massive amounts of mana, yes, but the amount increases each turn. If I need that 2 mana to play something that much earlier, I'm likely not in the best position, anyway. I'd rather a 1 or 2 drop give me devotion and mana for 2 or more turns then a sac creature that gives me 1 extra mana for a turn, but nothing more.

I love the deck but maybe run 3 Nykthos instead of 4
