Different, looks fun. +1

My first thought was Too Much Mana Ramp, but you've got a few hydras. I'd be curious to see if you do flood out a few games. I hadn't really thought about Manaweft Sliver for general use, but it's actually a good idea, and might even consider replacing my Elvish Mystic with them.

I wouldn't be sold on using Beck / Call but you should have plenty of mana to use, especially if you're gonna drop BTE, it's a free draw.

Ya this is definitely a more casual deck, as I love all the "B" cards in it and wanted to team them up since they have decent synergy together. I made a similar deck pre-rotation that used Fungal Sprouting and Kessig Cagebreakers and it was tons of fun, and when I saw Fatty_Lumpkin's RUG Ramp, I was inspired to make a new version.

As far as the ramp goes, it's actually a little bit less than what the mono-green Devotion decks use, and my curve is pretty on par with theirs. I went with Manaweft Sliver over Voyaging Satyr since there's no Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and I want to be able to play the Call half of Beck / Call , since this is about the only deck in the world that could use it somewhat efficiently lol. And Curse of the Swine gives me a nice late-game trick for turning all those dorks into Biomancered & Battledriven Boars while simultaneously blowing up the opponent's board.

Thanks for the comment and plus, hope your BUG deck is going well!

I actually created a slight reconstruction of my BUG: Dice Madness.

Swine curse is a neat little late-game trick when used on yourself with MBM around. I hadn't thought of that; clever. I was wondering why you had Beck / Call in there, but with the sliver it makes more sense to be able to cast either half. I'm guessing that's also why you have Goblin Rally , to potentially put out a pack of 3/3 goblins.

Exactly, and with MBM's brother-from-a-Red-mother Ogre Battledriver , all of the same synergies are possible in a more impatient way. Stacking the two leads to insane results, such as a 20-damage Call out of nowhere.
