That's not an overly terrible idea, especially since I win with Biovisionary much more times than I really should be allowed to. One of the biggest reason why I love it in my deck, though, is that its an incredibly scary card to have out. Once you get two out, your opponent now has to focus that card only, because at any moment that thing can win the game suddenly so removal will prioritize Biovisionary , an otherwise useless card with no downside to it being gone. I chose to make my deck more combo heavy instead of aggressive, giving me tons of draw power and field presence and its been overall very very fun to play, can't say the same for my opponents though. Lastly, you mentioned Enter the Infinite as fun as that card is, I've actually more than often, played my entire library in one turn because of cards like Garruk's Packleader , Momir Vig, Simic Visionary , Omnicience and a ton of cloning.

what are some cards with Glimpse of Nature like effects I know of Soul of the Harvest , Garruk's Packleader and Beck what else is there if any others exist? Can be conditional and I am mainly looking for mono green or artifacts.

Regal Force , Soul of the Harvest and Garruk's Packleader all serve their purpose, especially since you have so many creatures of decent size. Drumhunter works too if you want to get crazy lol

There are so many great options it's hard to know where to take Bant Tokens.

Seance with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is an awesome reanimator option, even if you're not building a traditional reanimator deck. Seance actually gives you permant wurm tokens with Armada Wurm , or just straight up permanent tokens with either Parallel Lives or Growing Ranks .

Garruk's Packleader is kind of fun in similar decks because you get get huge numbers of creatures entering the battlefield on your side. Garruk, Primal Hunter can net you a card for every beast token generated, in addition to his usual perks. Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip has a flipped form Howlpack Alpha  ^Flip that throws out a 3/3 token every turn for no cost, so you can really get a pretty decent card draw engine going. All the better with any populate or Parallel Lives, of course.

I put a lot of effort into theorizing around these lines after Return to Ravnica but before Gatecrash and ended up with a deck that is pretty scary, but a bit slow (I play it in 4+ person group games). I'd be interested if you find any of the ideas appealing: Cackling Armada

Looking back, I now see a bunch of cards in there I'm scratching my head over. Oh well. :)

Oh, and as for mass-effect stuff like Garruk's Packleader , there was a set of cards in Shards of Alara that triggered whenever a creature of power 5 or greater were summoned... Not nayan, but I cbh to look right now...

Skulloelegy Haha, I haven't touched this deck in months. I may have to come back to it at some point, having gotten hold of some more selesnya stuff recently, and having gotten better at deck building.

Presence of Gond looks interesting, a possible replacement for Jade Mage , which is not a very good token generator.

Midnight Guard is an odd card, but I don't think it fits in here very well, if I get it late game chances are I'll have an Essence of the Wild out, so I won't be able to use it's ability.

I need some trample sources, other than rancor, and some card draw. I have Garruk's Packleader lined up, whats your take on that? And I remember seeing a green enchantment that gave trample en masse.

Got anything you're particularly working on? Oh yeah, if you have a mo would you mind looking at Legions of the Chavest Clergy

I would try and fit a bit more card draw in besides just Garruk, Primal Hunter and Doubling Chant sort of counts.

From my experience, what often happens is that you'll quickly ramp out a big creature and it gets removed leaving you top-decking for another threat since most of your hand was used to ramp. Having access to tons of mana is really only useful if you have something to do with it.

Garruk's Packleader is a nice option and fits with the flicker plan. Good old Harmonize isn't too shabby. Or another route would be to use some levelers to dump mana into, Joraga Treespeaker or Kazandu Tuskcaller could fit. Mosswort Bridge could also help in keeping the threats coming.
