FNM —Jan. 11, 2014

Did an FNM tonight and went 3-1 pretty good considering how my physical version of this isnt completely finished lol

consider using defender ramp, with Axebane Guardian and Sylvan Caryatid , and possibly Gyre Sage .

I dont really feel like buying Sylvan Caryatid right now other wise I probly would use it. I dont like ramp defenders at all too slow and Gyre Sage I also considered but still on the fence about. Thanks for the comment!

I would splash red for Savageborn Hydra . Double strike is fun and it gives a nice place to pour mana once you've resolved a hydra.

Worldspine Wurm and/or Armada Wurm?

Id rather stay 2 colors for now with white giving access to Selesnya Charm and Advent of the Wurm trust me if I did red this deck would be totally different lol I like GW and I wanna try with just those colors. Worldspine Wurm I may put 2 in and try for sur3 as for Armada Wurm I kinda want to avoid double white to help with green devotion.

The Armada Wurm is double green also

true but I just dont see where I would put Armada Wurm I wouldnt say it doesnt fit but I dont feel its the bet option...if i did get Sylvan Caryatid i could use her for Savageborn Hydra but its either that or just throw in some Worldspine Wurm and i would rather him

I also want to make it slightly fast where i have 5 drops at the top of my curve and have a couple blow outs if the game is late like Worldspine Wurm if i decide to put him in

Maybe add Elvish Piper for some easy 1 drops for Kalonian Hydra and Polukranos, World Eater

Its a standard deck sadly

may i ask why you chose selesnya? i think Gruul would be a better choice, or you could go naya. that way you can use Xenagos, The Reveler to help ramp. also that would give you access to my favorite hydra the Savageborn Hydra i also would use Mistcutter Hydra for one green and X with haste and protection from blue...its pretty awesome. you could also abuse Ordeal of Nylea to help ramp, get mana out quicker and give more +1 +1 counters. adding red would also give you access to Domri Rade to help speed the deck up and he has great abilities and a bad ass ultimate. one last possibility would be Door of Destinies

You may ask. I chose selesnya, simply, because I like it lol. Gruul is probably better but I just do not like it as much and I have NONE of those cards and do not feel like getting them. I had most of the cards for this one. Plus the ramping is good but not completely necessary I can ramp just enough to pile things out. Ordeal of Nylea isssssss decent but I dont really have room for it and again I dont find it necessary Mistcutter Hydra is in my sideboard hes great so of course I have him ;). Plus I hope to show that selesnya is NOT the worst deck type and that any deck type is viable in any format so I made this. Thanks for the comments!

Looks like a fast deck to me . I would drop Karametra's Acolyte and mainboard some more beats
