Ever consider Vigor? Makes the monsterous guilt free.

I'd suggest Mirrorpool. Being able to clone any non-legendary creature of your choice is certainly helpful and it has the option to copy an instant/sorcery instead.

Solemn Simulacrum as it acts as both land fetch and card draw.

Fierce Empath would allow you to fetch that one creature you need

And Doubling Season for all the dumb stuff it pulls.

+1 from me. Good luck with the deck and draw well!

Thanks! This deck is a bit of a beast at times. I haven't updated it in months because I've been on a magic hiatus.

Awesome deck. One of my favorite mono green decks, +1. I highly recommend Reclamation Sage, Primordial Sage, Lurking Predators (especially in a 4 player pod), and See the Unwritten. Do you mind looking over my commander deck and telling me what you think. Thanks. -Alex

Hey there, I'm a big fan of the premise of your deck. I've always liked goreclaw, she's a fun card. With that said, I do have some suggestions:

  • Prowling Serpopard -> Allosaurus Shepherd/Destiny Spinner - if your budget allows, shepherd is the better choice, but both are upgrades to serpopard.
  • Veteran Explorer -> Arbor Elf - without a dedicated sac outlet, there is no guarantee you can get explorer in the graveyard in a timely manner, plus it helps all of your opponents. Since you're running both ashaya and yavimaya, arbor elf can potentially untap all of your big mana engines, plus it's an elf and benefits Priest of Titania.
  • Myojin of Life's Web -> Argothian Elder - myojin was always lackluster for me, plus you can't cheat it out. The elder is an elf which again will help priests, plus with ashaya, It goes infinite which is great with all the big fatties you're running.
  • See the Unwritten -> Selvala's Stampede - for the same cmc, you get a much better spell that doesn't make you pitch anything to the graveyard. And what's great about Stampede, it gets better with the more opponents you have. Just make sure you keep a couple of permanents in your hand to cover any way your opponents vote.
  • Those are the big suggestions I have to make at first glance. Here's some other good options for card advantage if you ever find yourself running out of steam.

  • Beast Whisperer
  • Guardian Project
  • Rishkar's Expertise
  • Hope this all helps, and good luck!

    Kamerot Thanks! I don't have any of the new cards added yet, not sure if I will ever buy them but deck crafting is something I miss doing :)

    Kamerot what's your opinion on Hexdrinker?

    I think for commander, its underwhelming. In the end, you're paying 9 mana for 6/6 with protection everything. I think theres a lot Better ways to spend 9 mana in commander.

    Kamerot I remember reading that you were a member of a discord or something? Is this a server I can join as well?

    Yes! It's the discord for Inkmoth's yeva deck. Super friendly group, lot of fun. Here's the link to his deck and in the description he has a link to join his discord.

    Inkmoth and Kamerot If this were your deck, what would you change to make it faster/better?

    Ramp and draw are always the biggest things. I personally would cut things like Tireless Tracker, there's just better ways to draw power than through clues. Eldrazi Conscription is a cool card but can only buff one creature in a deck where you're building a fat army, it seems unnecessary. Also Dragon Throne of Tarkir seems like it would hurt you since the equipped creature gains defender and you want to be attacking with all those eldrazi and other fatties you have.

    Cards like Pathbreaker Ibex or God-Eternal Rhonas are great ways to buff while being tutorable in green. Rishkar's Expertise is great draw power, and Return of the Wildspeaker can buff or draw a ton of cards at instant speed.

    Some low cost cards for ramp and draw that can help speed things up are Lotus Cobra/Tireless Provisioner and Beast Whisperer/Guardian Project

    Other great ramp cards are Mana Reflection or Nyxbloom Ancient. Usually if those stick for me, its game over. Hope this helps!
