If it were me, i’d be going:

I’m not convinced Steward of Valeron will be particularly helpful. A 2-mana mana-dork is a bit clumsy, and if your opponent is trying to slow you down, bolting this turn-2 could put you irreversibly behind

wallisface - It has changed a lot over the last week or two! I can claim a tiny bit of the credit but mostly it is all due to others who have commented. As I mentioned, it has been really interesting to get other's perspectives on this so thanks for sharing!

I understand your feelings about Selesnya Charm. I needed something to take the place of Prismatic Ending so I added that mostly as a filler until I could find/think of something better. I liked how Prismatic Ending exiled any non-land permanent allowing artifact, enchantment, plainswalker, or creature removal but without the three colors, it lost all utility here. At least Selesnya Charm can rid the board of powerful creatures or provide me other options if not needed but I am not attached to it. Any suggestions (different removal cards, defensive spell cards, offensve spell cards, add more creatures instead, add more lands instead, etc)?

In regard to your second point, you are not wrong that I have games where I struggle with mana. Usually since I just need four or so to make the deck function, I do fine but sometimes I sit there and Knight of the White Orchid saves me! Assuming I keep 3xSelesnya Charm or something similar, how would you feel about adding in a few copies of Steward of Valeron. That would give me the ability to get that extra mana while still keeping at least the same number of creatures.

Steward of Valeron is the only mana-generating creature (sometimes know as a "mana dork") that has vigilance, so it can attack, block, and be used for mana, without its controller needing to choose between those options.

jethstriker, I thought that the Urza block had a focus on artifacts?

Take out Elfhame Palace, Saltcrusted Steppe, and Vivid Grove to add in 3 more basics (probably all forests). Other non-basics could also be swapped. Also, here's a list of mana-dorks that have keyword abilities that would be nice to add in: Birds of Paradise, Gilded Goose, Steward of Valeron, and Sylvan Caryatid.

Your curve is a little high! You might find yourself having trouble against especially fast and aggressive decks. Because of this, it might be wise to make room for things like Avacyn's Pilgrim or Steward of Valeron that can help accelerate you into your bigger plays.

First things first; I love your deck! I like the theme and I really like that its an actual zoo deck instead of a midrange deck.

after reading some comments I dont think Hide / Seek will help against Blood Moon.... once Moon is resolved you will only have access to and if your able to sac Wild Cantor/Burning-Tree Emissary or put in Steward of Valeron... so Hide is out... and Seek kinda just reduces the odds of them drawing into a moon I guess?

maybe Engineered Explosives would work for a preventative...Cindervines or Destructive Revelry for options?

Llanowar Elves is one of the most iconic cards in this game, so it naturally has produced numerous variants, some of which are also mono-green and others of which are multicolored.

Among those creatures, Steward of Valeron is a green/white variant, Zhur-Taa Druid and Radha, Heir to Keld are red/green variants, and both Llanowar Dead and Deathrite Shaman are black/green variants, but there has not yet been a blue/green variant of it, so I do hope that WotC eventually prints such a card.

What does everyone else say about this? Will there eventually be a blue/green variant of Llanowar Elves ?

ulmo Hey, thanks for looking at it! I've been agonizing over running Steward of Valeron or Knight of the White Orchid , and eventually decided to go with the Steward since the other one only fetches if I don't already have more lands, whereas the Steward will always tap for G. I might still swap those around a bit depending on how the deck flows, but I haven't had any trouble with the land count (especially with the London mulligan). I'm interested in the first strike part, though. Definitely going to try it out.

Conclave Tribunal and Song of Freyalise are mostly in there because they play super well with vigilance, and I need some form of evasion. The trample Song provides is a nice addition to the unblockable I get from Brave the Elements , and it has ramped me on second main a ton. Also a bit of a thematic include, as a sort of Lady of the Lake figure.
