New modifications :

• Switched Guardian Project with Elemental Bond Since only 3 creatures doesn't have the required power and it's cheaper to play.

Also, I am seriously considering Utopia Sprawl instead of Patchwork Banner, anybody has an opinion on this ?

Garruk's Uprising is a great card in this deck if you have it. I only happen to have one and it's already in my Bristly Bill, Spine Sower deck, so I'm making do with Elemental Bond. Take another look at it though, it says "power 3 or greater," which is 23/33 creatures.

Essence Warden, perhaps? Also, with all the draw card from Elemental Bond, I'd include Reliquary Tower. Speaking of - where's the land?!?

Heyo,

I also run a gilanra kodama list: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/gron-3/

It's not upto date (way more removal added in since). But I'll fix it today.

First note is that Three mana ramp is bad.

Add in dorks so you can get gilanra turn two/three and kodama turn four. You want kodama out early before people can start holding up mana for removal.

So cultivate effects can go for the other two mana ramp spells in green.

Secondly, generic stompy big creatures don't need to be there.

Terra Stomper, Treeshaker Chimera, Thrun, Breaker of Silence, Polukranos, World Eater, Gaea's Revenge.

If it costs a lot and all it does is swing, it's not the best effect.

Silverback Elder is better than Hivespine Wolverine

Oakhame Adversary is better than Deadly Recluse

Your enchantments are also pretty bad

Abundance, Assemble the Entmoot, Bonds of Mortality, Elemental Bond, Season of Growth, Sandwurm Convergence. Don't do enough.

Your garruk planeswalkers can. be replaced with Garruk, Primal Hunter.

IDK what your goals are with the deck. But prioritze low to the ground creatures that pair well with top end cards like Ohran Frostfang.

The deck is fun, so if you want that kitchen table ono green hitter deck. Take my changes with salt.

It sounds as if Elemental Bond is still the better choice… I always imagine Henge to pop off with some form of dork heavy deck like Chulane.

I don’t, I’d love to design my own one day, or a playmat.

Poly_raptor,

Correction - Elemental Bond triggers off of all but 5 creatures in the deck. But I'm still moving forward with it. The Great Henge is big and flashy but I feel like it's a Red Herring or a false positive in the context of this deck. It's too high risk high reward when all I want is a nice flat consistent draw effect. Only time will tell if it's the right choice.

Separately, I've finally found an artist who could build the deck box of my dreams for this deck. As it comes closer to getting finished I'll share photos. Do you have any custom deck boxes?

I would definitely opt for Elemental Bond over The Great Henge based on your comment. Sounds like it ticks every box.

I can’t really think of a better option, you could alternatively look at “when you attack with” triggers draw but that doesn’t sound as consistent. Would only net 1-2 draw a turn but if Elemental Bond could get a lot more.

Poly_raptor,

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. That last guy on the forum didn't even look at my deck page let alone give feedback. My goal is to try and address some gaps I see with the deck which come from a lack of consistent draw. At the moment I'm considering Elemental Bond vs. The Great Henge. Bond triggers off of 100% of the creatures in and produced by the deck namely tokens that can be produced by Huatli, Warrior Poet and your namesake Polyraptor. Henge on the other hand seems a little less consistent. It doesn't trigger off tokens, and if I don't have a big enough creature on the field then it's effectively a dead card. Please remind me why this card is so good? I have one, but feel hesitant to include it. The overall CMC for the deck is pretty high...
