So, I imagine most people are tired of seeing the deluge of Selesnya decks that keep popping up over and over. Typically, I'd be against it to, but as I recently started playing again and found myself attracted to the Populate mechanic (before finding out how played it was going to be), it's sort of what I'm trying to work at.

It's mostly due to a lack of cards. MTG is my secondary game, and as such, I'm not too willing to pick the money cards up. As it so happened, the fat pack I bought had 3 temple gardens and a foil Smiter in it, so I kinda went "Ooh, shiny" and rolled from there.

The deck...http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/horse-people-doin-it-populate-style/

I've had trouble with this deck due to the fact that I seem to get beat to the punch far too often. I don't know if it's because of lack of deck speed, or that I lack a real credible threat in the deck.

The sideboard has been focused around my local scene, as there is a ton of enchantment decks floating around as of late. I'm assuming that maybe Intangible Souls should be mainboard, but I've tried both and haven't seen too much a difference.

Help anyone? I'm not looking to play in PTQs, but, I'd like to stop finishing last place at my 30? person FNM tourneys.
