Update 2: Added in a few higher value cards. Played quite well in the first playtest I had with it. No infinite combos to speak of, or at least none that I noticed. The idea is to control the game, deal with difficult threats and eventually lock everyone else down while you continue to use Dorks and/or Seedborn Muse, Derevi triggers and other methods to gain advantage. I think the biggest weakness might be fast Voltron style decks with unblockable and hexproof. Those decks if I am the first target sound like they will cause me problems unless I am able to slow them down.

I will continue to build this deck over time but I am reasonably happy with where it currently is

Future Improvements

Add Noble Hierarch Drop Llanowar Elves
Add Pact of Negation Drop either Abjure or Return to Dust
Maybe Academy Rector
Eventually improve the Land Base with Arid Mesa, Scalding Tarn, , Verdant Catacombs, Savannah, Tundra, Tropical Island etc...
