Selesnya Charm is a winner, get four. It looks like you definitely need more lands, even with the ramp from the elves. A Scion at this rate would take 15-20 turns to get out. If you plan on going low-curve auras, Ethereal Armor is a great place to start. Stacking those gets crazy and fast.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I playtest this a lot and I never seem to have a problem with lands. Until I can get more cardsfor it, it's going to stay at 40 cards not the usual sixty.

Oh yeah, you're running forty. Well, thing is, the minimum is legally sixty, but if you're only playing with friends then that's cool.

What TastyCactus said about Selesnya Charm is spot on. Not so sure about mainboarding 4 though. It is so versatile which is why I will usually mainboard two and have the other for side. This deck could really use a little protection like Gods Willing , Brave the Elements or even Rootborn Defenses which also populates for you. I just made a new Selesnya Heroes budget deck for fun.that you might like Guilded Heroes or a little more aura related Selesnya Another Selesnya Aggro. What do you think?
November 19, 2013 7:46 a.m.
Yeah, I was thinking about maybe Gods Willing . Brave the Elements doesn't work that well because it does nothing for my major play, t2 Call of the Conclave into t3 Unflinching Courage . Green Centaur tokens are the most common creature I have on the field. I'll scrouge up my Gods Willing , thanks for your feedback!

I still think Rootborn Defenses would be great here. It is the same cost as Ready / Willing but without the green. Yes, you don't get to untap all of your creatures but you do get to populate.
November 22, 2013 12:57 p.m.
Yeah, actually that's a great idea. Will add some. I probably won't take out the Ready / Willing because I use it as a finisher in casual when I just attacked with everything and my opponent is attacking for lethal. BOOM, there goes your board.

Precinct Captain is a nice card, the 2 power first strike makes it really good against aggro decks, and the 1/1 tokens are great for chump blocking/to use for sacrafices like against Desecration Demon , also with phalanx leader they can become quite big
November 25, 2013 6:45 p.m.
I will definitely consider that. Might replace 2x Call of the Conclave with 2x of those and see how it plays.
November 25, 2013 8:51 p.m.
Just think too, the Precinct Captain might balance your mana spread too.
November 25, 2013 9:01 p.m.
Yeah, 2 is looking pretty weak compared to one and three drops. I might just add in some Precinct Captain not at the expense of other 2-drops.
November 25, 2013 9:28 p.m.
I don't know if these are within your budget but still Loxodon smiter, Advent of the Wurm and fleecemane lion. All great cards for selesnya aggro. Unflinching courage on fabled hero... I love it. Also, Brave the Elements Almost every creature you run has white. I would put witchstalker in your sideboard for control decks, Mistcutter hydra if you have a little bit of money. Voice of resurgence and Trostani, selesnya's voice ... Expensive but, christmas is coming XD The suggestion things aren't working but still, you can look them up. hope i helped
December 3, 2013 7:46 a.m.
Alright, that seems reasonable. I was planning on using my next batch of money to get SB cards and maybe another Witchstalker . The first three cards you mentioned are great, but I really need four-drops or finishers more than early game cards. Voice is probably too expensive for me right now but I might be able to get some. Thanks for all your suggestions!

One issue with Brave the Elements . It doesn't help out Call of the Conclave and its green centaur. That issue may determine whether or not I add it.
December 3, 2013 5:18 p.m.
You're running barely any populate though, so the centaur isn't really needed. Fleecemane lion would take his place better. If you're really not keen then maybe God's willing. Advent of the wurm is a fantastic 4drop, it's won me a huge amount of games, it's basically a 4drop 5/5 flash trampler, it's so efficient, and if you put that in the you have something far more worth populating than a dinky centaur.Up to you, but check out the white/green/black deck i have on my profile, i played it at a tournament last night and came 4th, but my friend has a white/green beatdown like this is basically always win his games, he's won about 3 tournaments with it now.

I think you need to make this deck a little more concise. It's not really good to just run one of something (except for possibly a planeswalker). Out of your creatures, you should keep Fabled Hero , Favored Hoplite , Witchstalker , and Soldier of the Pantheon . Try getting Fleecemane Lion and Loxodon Smiter . Out of your instants, only keep the charm, Gods Willing and Giant Growth . I think you should have 4 Ethereal Armor (my personal favorite common card). Ordeal of Heliod is alright, but look into Gift of Orzhova . Those two plus Unflinching Courage compete for the best enchantment auras in standard right now. Instead of call of the conclave, try getting Advent of the Wurm . I like where your going, but you just have too many cards and not enough copies of each. If you want to go the populate route and use Wayfaring Temple , look up a deck online. (though populate decks get more expensive.

Do you mind if i playtest this against my selesnya aggro deck? I want to see how mine fairs against a similar deck.. Selesnya Viaggro

Needs to be more streamlined.
Straight up aggro needs to hit early and hard.
Get and play playsets of:
Those are solid 20 creatures that only curve out on 4.
By adding in 2 Ajani, Caller of the Pride you get get a 4/4 Fleecemane Lion by turn 3, and a possible hit of 10 from one wurm ( from Advent of the Wurm ) with a flying double strike buff from Ajani.
You can also opt for Sylvan Caryatid to accelerate the deck while blocking most of RDW's early threats.

I think you have to be online for a month before you can use your trade binder. What most people do is just make a deck and call it Trade Binder and put all your cards in there, and either make the side board or maybe board your wants list, or have a deck made called Wants.
