Is Mono-Green viable for FNM?

Standard Deck Help forum

Hey everyone, I've just recently returned after a 17 year hiatus. I was never much a fan of playing mono-green decks in the past though that appears to be different now. I've constructed a mono-green deck Fenway. that does some very entertaining things and can even hold it's own against some of my friend's modern decks (except when he pulls a mana ramp Exsanguinate on turn 4).

I run a drop in centre on most Friday evenings so can't typically make it out to FNM, so I have no idea what the current meta there is but, I'd like to be more that just a feeder for everybody else's standings. Any suggestions on my deck would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to look into something called Mono Green Devotion. It's an example of what mono green looks like in Standard. Even so, most of those pieces will rotate soon, so the deck will stop existing. FOr now, if I were you, I'd wait for Battle for Zendikar to be released and watch some Standard tournament coverage over the last few months to understand how Magic's played in Standard.

As is, your deck lacks focus and looks like it's just composed of a collection of cards you had lying around. It's often possible to play a stompy deck in Standard between something like $50 and $200 if you craft it well. With a capable pilot, those can make very real threats at FNM. You don't necessarily have to drop $500 into a Standard deck.
