Growth-Chamber Guardian

Creature — Elf Crab Warrior

: Adapt 2. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put two +1/+1 counters on it.)

Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on Growth-Chamber Guardian, you may search your library for a card named Growth-Chamber Guardian, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.

wallisface I made a few tweaks to make the list more +1+1 counters centered , what do you think now? I thought as the finisher as Joraga Warcaller + Bioshift (hopefully with at least one hardened scales) to boost all the board.

Growth-Chamber Guardian adapt ability can be decent but the thing was to drop it after Bramblewood Paragon to thin the deck a little bit and to have another fast creature in hand. Do you think its wrong? depending on the board Pelt Collector can reach 5/5 , i dont think thats too bad for a 1 drop that can be used to move the counters on Joraga Warcaller no? feel free to correct me. BotaNickill Thank you i'll give it a look :)

Imo your list would be better without Hardened Scales - the only card that utilises it well currently is Bramblewood Paragon (Pelt Collector just gets out of range of gaining more counters quicker, Growth-Chamber Guardian being a 5/5 instead of a 4/4 is meh, and the extra counter on Joraga Warcaller feels negligible).

I think, because you’re a stompy deck, you’d probably benefit from ditching Hardened Scales and Bioshift in favour of more stompy/aggressive cards, like Rancor and maybe Aspect of Hydra, or some Elf mana-dorks to help you spew your hand out onto the board quicker

wallisface on Will WotC Ever Print Another …

A green version of Squadron Hawk already exists in Growth-Chamber Guardian.

There is also an existing green creature fetch that puts said creature straight into play, in Fiend Artisan.

And there are a ton of green planeswalkers that can go digging for creatures, the most recent being Ellywick Tumblestrum, but also from memory Vivien Reid (i'm not going to search these all out here, but I'm sure there's more).

In spell form there's also Tooth and Nail, which is notorious for throwing both Xenagos, God of Revels and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into play and winning on the spot.

So, given enough time Wotc will probably print something which aligns more closely with what you're wanting... but it feels like there is already plenty-enough tools to get the effects you're after, and plenty enough cards that already do the thing you're wanting.

Saccox, thanks for the suggestions! I'm not sure Grim Affliction does quite enough to edge out a niche, but I rather like the Retribution of the Ancients angle, especially when potentially combined with Growth-Chamber Guardian . Really I could see it coming down to being match-up dependent - For example, I had included Golgari Charm in my paper version of this deck to deal with some of the threats I realistically run into irl such as weenies and enchantment removal, but Retribution of the Ancients could easily be traded in its place depending on the opposing deck at hand.

With mono G stompy builds I like to play Lovestruck Beast and Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig, as they make Ghalta a ton cheaper. Also, Surrak, the Hunt Caller is quite good and The Great Henge is amazing with Growth-Chamber Guardian.

ZorrosRage I like the aspect of it! Maybe some card draw would help you not running out of gas. Winding Way always strikes me as a good option! And Strangleroot Geist is a good defender, but something like Growth-Chamber Guardian seems to me as more proative.

I think Vivien's Arkbow could be very useful in this deck. It's budget and you can pull some great use from it with your ramp and devotion. Growth-Chamber Guardian could help out when it comes to creature supply relative to the power you want, and is also a budget card, as well as having a built in counter mechanic. I would remove Paradise Druid for Ilysian Caryatid and you will most definitely have a creature with power 4 or greater.

Hi, thanks for joining the gruul team. :)

general your deck lacks removal. The Common Package is 4of Bonecrusher Giant and 2of Wild Slash . They hit any target & can counter fogs from the nexus deck.

Also this deck struggles a bit on what it want to be. You need to straight up, what the gameplan should be.

for aggro -> landcount up to 22. 20 is too low, only decks that combo or mono red play this count of lands. replace all slow cards: Nikya of the Old Ways, Beast Whisperer, Gaea's Revenge, Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, the planeswalker -> for Goblin Rabblemaster, Questing Beast, Lovestruck Beast, extra copies of Fanatic of Xenagos & Ghor-Clan Rampager

for midrange/ramp -> landcount up to ~23, when you slow down your gameplan, efficient removal & card advantage is necessary. Nikya of the Old Ways -> nonbo with planeswalkers -> decide for the one or the other Nikya of the Old Ways is build around card and also needs a payoff -> something like a big dump creature like ulamog or an ability to dump the extra mana. Growth-Chamber Guardian is already a good start. Also here can you build many different decks. So i need an idea, what you want to build, if the aggro approach is not yours.

For inspiration here is my midrange/ramp deck building around Combustible Gearhulk : https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/redgreen-combustible-gearhulk/
