I agree with Boundless Realms It seems to be good, but in reality you are using it to only thin out the deck a little. My playgroup has some really good players in it and one of the players has Jokulhaups in a few of his decks. So for me, it's a very double edged sword.

I am going to keep Splinter , I have ways of making their lands artifacts.. It just gets dirty from there lol

Yeah, Bop really doesn't do much for me does it? I agree with that one.

Hmm, Either Acidic Slime or Bellowing Tanglewurm or even Primordial Hydra . to exchange the Pathrazer. Unless you have a suggestion, I would like to have the legendary Eldrazi, but this deck is more... casual unless I really like how it goes and then I might splurge on one of them. Yeva, Nature's Herald Might be good for the exchange, I am not too keen on her ability though.

Yeah, I don't know what to take out as well for Caged Sun . The only thing I can think of would be to cut 1 forest, but I am fearful of that prospect. Right now, I have 16 (including Eternal Witness ' ability) sources of ramp. I feel that is a bit low, but some of the ramp can get more than one land out, and Genesis Wave can get a helluva lot more out if I am lucky/unlucky, depending on how you see it.

My playgroup has a large number of green decks in it, so the Strata Scythe would be better for me in the long run. If I ever go out of my playgroup, I will switch the card.

Thank you for your help! :)

Acidic Slime is value on a card. Having the deathtouch will keep your opponents from wanting to attack you and lose a creature. Bellowing Tanglewurm has always been very effective in my green decks. The best thing you can do is play games. After a couple games, pull out the cards you felt like didn't give you any value in the games and swap them out for cards, and then play again.

Decided on the Acidic Slime It also helps with removal as well.

Still don't know what to take out for the Beacon of Creation though. I know my deck will suffer the early rounds until I can get some big creatures out.

Karametra's Acolyte should probably have a place here.

Bow of Nylea would be great. Declare Polukranos, World Eater as an attacker, then instant speed his monstrous and boardwipe the opponent with deathtouch.

Bow of Nylea is in there. I love that card because it toolboxes so well. Although I didn't think of declaring the attackers first then going Monstrous. Thanks for the idea!

Khalni Hydra Almost always free in a deck like this

Artemis_Swift says... #8

I will remember Khalni Hydra when I make a green devotion deck. And possibly mainboard for this deck as well.

Hey! You should play Mana Crypt and Mana Vault and Grim Monolith because you're running a lot of fat creatures and you should be able to cast them in early/mid game. Then you should probably add Llanowar Elves or Fyndhorn Elves or Magus of the Vineyard and you should also play Gaea's Cradle . Bye.

In a perfect world I could play cards that cost at least $75.00. Until then, I will stick with cards that are more reasonably priced.

why Splinter , isn't Krosan Grip much better in edh or Nature's Claim ?

October 6, 2013 12:15 p.m.

Artemis_Swift says... #12

Splinter is a little insurance policy for myself. Coupled with Liquimetal Coating I can exile all lands of the same name from an opponent's graveyard, hand, and library.

Possibly if I don't get the Eldrazi, but I do want them.

October 6, 2013 11:52 p.m.

no Nykthos?

October 8, 2013 11:54 a.m.

MonkeyDerp says... #16

Basilisk Collar , Quietus Spike , Nightshade Peddler and Gorgon Flail so you can just ping with Polukranos, World Eater to wipe the board.

i'd suggest Birthing Pod and Elvish Piper

Artemis_Swift says... #19

Not sure about the Birthing Pod . And Elvish Piper might be nice,

I see you have many ways to sac polukranos after you need him for another board wipe. Another option is to put in cards like Ulvenwald Tracker or other fight affects to make you're fatties and polukranos still able to control the board.

October 9, 2013 5:48 p.m.

Artemis_Swift says... #21

@Rakkhive Ulvenwald Tracker would be good, I was also thinking of adding fight effects to the deck just in case, possibly Arena as well. Thanks!

I have never built an EDH and plan to make Polukranos my first any tips on making an EDH?

@Rakkhive

Take a look at this site, Building an EDH Deck. It will help you much better than I can :)

One thing I can say is that what ever you do, have fun doing it.

Strionic Resonator ? you got a ton of triggered abilitys in here

Consider Seedborn Muse , having the ability to untap all your permanents every turn, including your opponents, is amazing, it will allow you to attack for all you've got, and still be able to defend yourself.

The second one I suggest is Garruk, Caller of Beasts . His emblem is a must have for your deck, the ability to cast a one of your creatures, then choose any creature you want from your deck and play it as well (at no additional cost if you please), that's unbeatable in a Mono-Green EDH.
