Hey thanks for the comments! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys.

@Jack-Frost Haha I mostly wanted an excuse to run Lumbering Falls. You're right though, it doesn't even fit a little bit. I swapped it for Cinder Glade. I dont want to go too crazy with the non-basics, and a think a tango generally fits that approach. Asceticism is one of my all-time favorite cards, but I think for that kinda mana, I would rather play Nissa or Garruk...

@GeminiSpartanX I am an idiot, Paradise Mantle is strictly better than Karametra's Favor for how this deck plays. I appreciate the suggestion, why didn't I think of that?

How about Privileged Position? It's not perfect as it requires three Green mana, but it would work amazingly and protect all of your planeswalkers as well. Actually, if you can drop two of those they cannot be destroyed by anything short of a board wipe that hits enchantments which is very uncommon.

Yeah, I really like that card. I don't think that I would run multiple, just because of cmc, but I think swapping out The Chain Veil for that could really strengthen the deck. I'll have to test it out a bit.

You ought to run Utopia Sprawl like I am in my version. It seriously helps in ramping you and keeping your mana flexible.

I would suggest running Tezzeret's Gambit instead of Steady Progress. Tezzeret's Gambit is only one more mana, but makes up for that with the phyrixian mana.

Are you going to put in any of the oath's from oath of the gatewatch?

Oath of Jace, Oath of Chandra, Oath of Nissa, Oath of Gideon,

@Jack-Frost I am planning on running 2-3 Oath of Nissa. It just fits too well to not give it a shot. I really want to try the new Nissa as well... we'll see if i can get lucky at an FNM and pull one in a booster before I order one up though.

I got really luck and pulled a Nissa, Voice of Zendikar promo, and she is amazing.

That is super lucky... I think she would fit perfectly in this deck, I particularly like the token planeswalkers. I always save my prize boosters for my lucky girlfriend to crack open and she pulled a Forbidden Orchard expedition. so no complaints from me!
