As a common theme among decks I build, I almost never include cards that can help my opponents. I did not think that Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth would help this build as much as it would help our opponents. Here, I actually think that it would help our opponents more! I do admit, I have some decks with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, but that is in conjunction with Cabal Coffers and, to a lesser extent, Cabal Stronghold. In these instances, our benefits outweigh the risk of color-fixing our opponents' land bases.

Thank you for commenting on my deck! I appreciate it. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not played with this Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck since the banning of Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt, both of which were in this build prior to being showcased on tappedout. They were replaced with Llanowar Elves and Fyndhorn Elves. Since these two zero-mana artifacts were replaced, there did not seem to be a need for Urza's Saga anymore, which was replaced by a basic Swamp. Anyway, in the rare instances when one of these artifacts was in my opening hand, a turn one Chatterfang was almost always game over, especially if that artifact was Jeweled Lotus, which allowed me to cast a one-drop in addition to casting our General. Aside from these occurrences, the deck is still lightning fast. There are so many different ways to combo-off and so many ways to find the needed pieces, it is almost a detriment to playing this build: Often times I have focused TOO MUCH on the combo pieces as opposed to engaging in some aristocratic game-play from turn to turn by whittling opponents' life totals down here and there. I admit that once a copy of Old Gnawbone becomes available, then it would easily replace Beledros Witherbloom. I originally had token doublers in this build like Parallel Lives and Doubling Season, but decided to take them out because Chatterfang is a token-doubler, should almost always be on our side of the battlefield, and I could use those cards in other decks. They ain't cheap! Tree rats 4life. Happy brewing!!

#1Khalni Garden is an option, but, as you stated, it is a one-and-done token-generating effect, plus it enters the battlefield tapped, which could slow our tempo. Muraganda Petroglyphs is a fun card and an interesting option for all token decks. If this build was not so focused on the combos, then I would probably jam this baby into the 99 with a more "let's make our tokens tall" theme. Great comments!
