Splash blue Vorel of the Hull Clade and Kalonian Hydra is better then Primordial due to it doubles ALL your +1/+1 counters

You have too many cards in your sideboard (and a full set of Scavenging Oozes). I like the look of the deck. Maybe consider something like Increasing Savagery or Blessings of Nature

Also if you're running mist cutters look at putting a couple of gyre sages in there too

My bad on the sideboard; I had just finalized that tonight, and evidently forgot to save haha. I would run Kalonian, but I'm trying to keep this to a budget and since it's still in standard it's rather expensive. I'm running off cards I have, but that is something to consider. Thank you for the suggestion.

Also considering the suggestion on Vorel.

If you splash blue also Consider Tamiyo, the Moon Sage then infinite discard on a lotleth troll with her emblem = infinite/infinite.

This is such a cool build. My friends have tried doing stuff like this, but the synergy never arrived.

Through playtesting, everything was quite difficult to cast if it wasn't mono-green. As a suggestion, I would actually drop the blue (I never got to use it, the opponent was already dead by then). It serves a good purpose, but the blue really isn't necessary. As Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord makes a good finisher, his mana cost sometimes leaves you with a dead card in hand.

I would try adding Desecration Demon to this creative build.

+1

Thanks for the suggestion, Darthen!

I'd absolutely agree on Desecration Demon if this was a standard deck - That's actually part of a build that I did with this for standard. There's very few cards outside of the current block in this deck, surprisingly. Drop Primordial Hydra for a Kalonian Hydra etc. I was running it at 4 colors instead of 3 and took 3rd at FNM (I didn't have it fully built, mind you - was short a few of the chase rares.) It's a strong pick, and I think this one comes down to a matter of personal preference. I want the manacurve to stay low as possible. If someone else wanted to run this deck, I think swapping the Lotleth Troll would be a strong choice for a more offensive build. I just have my Troll in there for some regenerate, and Bioshift ing onto him (trample ftw!) -- to digress, I actually run a Troll Ascetic in a more casual version of this deck. Instead of letting my Primordial get fat and nuking the most threatening player (my girlfriend with her damn flying tokens! lol) - I bioshifted the counters onto my Troll and made it 123 attack with hexproof and regenerate. I couldn't win the game by ANY means. I literally threw it right there, but the fact I could joke about having a 123/122 trollololol at around turn 8 was priceless.

...just a bit off topic! my bad.

I'd agree on the blue. However, when faced against control (reveal hand and discard a card sorceries Despise and Thoughtseize come to mind - people can get mighty scared of the Corpsejack. It essentially functions as another Corpsejack just in case I get boned by some removal, and can add a nice touch when stacked up on a Bioshift in the same turn. I'm going to consider some re-balancing on the mana - maybe add some shock lands in place of some of my forests.

I was expecting to see Kalonian Hydra s in here, I am shocked they arent!

Maybe have a peek at my The Golgari Way and steal a couple of Ideas =)

I love hydra decks, Super funny watching people facepalm when one hit's the board.

I'd recommend a couple Savage Summoning to keep the hydra's protected while they are getting played

I'm actually just waiting for Kalonian to rotate out. I don't play much standard, so I try my best to avoid the money-cards unless they're useful in modern. This deck's a bit on the casual side, so there's no sense in sinking too much on it in my opinion. :)

I actually did have Savage Summoning ! I took it out to make some room for mana fixers once I added Vorel of the Hull Clade . I was thinking Cavern of Souls to fix my counter-spell problem instead.

Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Cavern of Souls is a great idea actually, That'd benefit you much better, Hell it might even benefit me to take a look into that one =P

Rogue's Passage is always neat in decks like this as well.

Also, Why not try Mana Confluence when it drops to help with your splash

Yeah, I love Cavern of Souls . It's a great card in a lot of ways. I think I'll end up with a bunch of copies of Mana Confluence once it's bought up a bit more. It's all a matter of time. The manabase is really consistent right now between the lands and the birds, so I'm not too worried about it just yet.

I think you need a couple Heroes' Bane in here, Nice and cheap too so it wont hurt the wallet ;)

I think so too. I actually pulled a Hydra Broodmaster and was wondering what I should do with it.
