Standard Green Card Advantage?
Deck Help forum

I've been playing a G/W heroic deck and was wondering if there was any decent way to get card advantage? Dead draws in late game is a big problem with this deck.
Garruk, Caller of Beasts is your best bet. This is the one problem with the deck that everyone's having and why it's not seeing much play.

Cheaper suggestions I have, although not great are Warriors' Lesson or Gods Willing . Not the best, but probably the cheapest in G/W

Warriors' Lesson can work. 1-drop that can net two cards and played at instant speed. Wait for the opponent to declare no blockers and then play it. It's quite impressive in its cost actually.

Warriors' Lesson is synergistic with what you're trying to do, yea.
Commune with the Gods is the closest thing green has for cheap card draw

Since Garruk, Caller of Beasts and Warriors' Lesson have already been covered, the only other card that comes to mind is Chronicler of Heroes , which could work since a lot of Heroic cards get counters. But since the the main vulnerability of Heroic decks is getting 2-for-1'd (or worse), your best bet is probably to find ways to prevent that so you don't have to rely on late topdecks, since you'll win if you can keep your heavy-hitter out without needing extra cards. Gods Willing , Alpha Authority , and Ranger's Guile all trigger Heroic.
Also, it's worth pointing out that Scrying isn't really card advantage, though it may help with the "dead draw" problem.

Yeah I was using Scry as a solution to dead draws, which is why I suggested Gods Willing . I can't believe I forgot Commune with the Gods ...

One more idea, probably best as a sideboard against decks with Supreme Verdict - Trollhide .

In G/W in standard there isn't really any card draw. If you have the money you could splash blue for Prime Speaker Zegana and Jace, Architect of Thought and play Prime Speaker Bant
