@ Casey4321 Yeah, had to be that guy lol. I know Omnath, Locus of Mana is good, I just don't like him for some reason.

Yea I don't like him either, at all, he's stupid but whenever I see a green EDH it's usually helmed by that guy.

I do like Blightsteel Colossus and I forgot about Thragtusk . But would Thragtusk be viable in a format where the health is so mich higher?

Lol, Wurms are pretty good. ess the two Slagwurms, and the Engine.

I don't know. 5 life is 5 life and you get a token up to you really.

I would throw some card draw in there like: greater good, and souls majesty. Maybe staff of nin too.

Already in there.

Greater good though can help you out a lot like if someone board wipes, or a blue player or red tries to take control of one of your big creaters greater good allows you to sack the creature and draw for it power. Greater good could save your life. I would also try acromas memorial too.

Krosan Grip is a better Naturalize , split second is really powerful.
Soul of the Harvest is a good way to draw cards off of your creatures coming into the battlefield. Keep your hand filled.

If you want I have 2 green edh decks on my profile if you want, check them out you might find cards you want to run in your deck.

So you picked him cause of shroud??? Then what about Thrun, the Last Troll ????

June 19, 2013 2:35 p.m.

I_TappedWrong says... #16

Thrun, is really good I also like the guy who's power and toughness are equal to the number of forest you have... He goes really good with momentous fall, souls majesty, and greater good.

@Smith_and_Tonic I will switch out the Naturalize then for Krosan Grip . And will find a spot for Soul of the Harvest

@Hakuryu I kind of forgot about Thrun, the Last Troll ....lol Most likely he will be the new commander, I've been thinking of switching the commander out for Silvos, Rogue Elemental but Thrun might be the better choice.

@Samj1988 Thanks! I was thinking of Akroma's Memorial but was concerned about not actually getting the artifact in play while searching for creatures and such. Greater Good does sound good ( pun intended ). I can find a spot for it. In fact, I actually have one from 9th edition on my table, didn't realize it was in fact an enchantment.

@MonkeyDerp I do like Gaea's Revenge . It's been a while since I've played magic so much, I stopped right after Champions of Kamigawa, so all of these cards are so new to me lol. And I also like Caged Sun . Thanks!

What do you all think of Rampaging Baloths ?

@Samj1988 lol Yeah that would be a helluva combo. There are so many ideas that I can't help but want to have more than a 100 card deck.

June 20, 2013 11:21 p.m.

Artemis_Swift says... #22

Deck updated a bit, took out some non-essential cards and added better land dig creatures.

@Samj1988
Do you think running a Howling Mine would work in this deck? I am very nearly adding Caged Sun but not sure what to replace.

@Smith_and_TonicHaving a bit trouble attempting to add more ramp, have any ideas on what I could take out for a Nature's Lore , Boundless Realms and a Caged Sun ? I was thinking of replacing 1 Forest for one of those cards seeing how its a ramp deck.

June 30, 2013 1:53 a.m.

I find Boundless Realms unnecessary most of the time. Sure you get to find a lot of lands but it will lock up one of your turns which isn't ideal. I would take out Splinter for Nature's Lore , Splinter is sorcery speed artifact removal and in a 100 card singleton format, you won't get as much value out of it. There are other, cheaper artifact and enchantment removal. With 29 creatures in the deck, it is safe to assume you will always have a creature on board or in hand. With that in mind, I'd suggest taking out Birds of Paradise for either a ramp spell (Nature's Lore if you want to keep Splinter in) or Yeva, Nature's Herald

I found this to be a problem in mono-green decks, you ramp really early but then you don't get a lot of cards to make a board presence. I would suggest picking up a Beacon of Creation to help with your early game. Ideally you'll cast it on turn 4 to get 5 insects but it recycles itself, if you draw it later in the game then you'll get a lot more insects since you've ramped more.

Caged Sun is tricky. My first instinct would be to take out a creature but that isn't always ideal. Pathrazer of Ulamog just seems eh in this deck where you have other creatures that do more for less mana cost. Think about taking pathrazer out.

Just on a side note, I would replace Strata Scythe with Blanchwood Armor so you don't have to exile lands from your library.
