Deck Help forum

I really want to make a standard green black deck but i don't know how to approach it because i hardly ever work with green. i don't want to focus on zombie tokens at all. Any and all help/ suggestions would be really helpful
That depends on how you want to approach it, G/B has a lot of potential but it has two big painful enemies in the form of Mirran Crusader and Sword of Feast and Famine that you need to have a plan of action for dealing with. There are three main strategies you could cover; control, beatdown or ramp.
You'll probably want some creature removal from black with stuff like Go for the Throat , Doom Blade , Tribute to Hunger , card:Black Sun's Zenith and card:Life's Finale. Maybe include some more general removal from green with something like Beast Within , Bramblecrush or Acidic Slime .
You may also want to run with some ramp from green of which there's a huge variety but the main ones are Birds of Paradise , Viridian Emissary and Rampant Growth .
After that there's a huge number of interesting creatures to run from both colours, some of my favourites you may not think of include Moldgraf Monstrosity , Ambush Viper , Glissa, the Traitor and Bloodline Keeper Flip Flip.
There're also four planeswalkers to choose from Garruk, Primal Hunter , Garruk Relentless Flip Flip, Liliana of the Veil and Sorin Markov . As a last remark don't forget about some of the draw capabilities of stuff like card:Hunter's Insight and card:Altar's Reap.
Don't know how helpful that wall of text will really be since it wholly depends on what type of deck you want to go with but hopefully there was something useful somewhere along the line.

it helps a lot. i wanted to kind of do an aggro control that would destroy lands as means of control with the use of Acidic Slime and the new one from innistrad that i can't think of off the top of my head. i wanted to include Garruk Relentless Flip Flip in it. i thought about Mirran Crusader and figured board wipes/ card:Geth's Verdict type cards would be to the best avail

I know you want to stay away from zombies, but they are only part of this deck G/B Tokens

Essensce of the Wild with any combo of token production would work, like Spider Spawning, especially if you mill alot of creatures from Mulch, and Ghoulcaller's Bell. You should try it, Ive wanted to do it but never have.
