I've taken my monoblack devotion splashing green and some of my fav cards from jund monsters into a full on G/B build. I would love to be running Nissa / Garruk / Liliana but I have not yet acquired those guys yet. Would love to get some feedback on this, thanks for looking!

Creatures:

Sylvan Caryatid - Ramp / Blocker for aggro. Was trying out Deathrite Shaman but it was just a little too cute sometimes.

Courser of Kruphix - Great for filtering out our draws and small life gain along the way really helps out. Plus, dat butt tho.

Scavenging Ooze - Eats up the graveyards and helps with some lifegain. Can get pretty out of hand if left unchecked.

Reaper of the Wilds - I love this guy. Hard to remove, dangerous if if I have mana open to protect / give him deathtouch. Getting to scry with all the killing we're gonna be doing is awesome.

Desecration Demon - You love em, you hate em.

Polukranos, World Eater - just a staple in anything with green.

Other spells :

Underworld Connections : Connections + Courser is a deeeelight.

Hero's Downfall - Solid removal.

Abrupt Decay - Takes out a variety of low cost annoying creatures / enchantments / whatever.

Golgari Charm - playing around with this or bile blight as a two of main board. I've found this being useful more often than bile blight, especially against control which makes up a pretty big chunk of my meta.

Thoughtseize - Solid hand disruption, I realllly hate playing against this card. Sooo if you can't beat em, join em?

Vraska the Unseen - Vindicate on a stick or a nice win condition. Rarely get to ultimate, more often than not she's just a turn 5 kill something on the board spell. She does however seem kind of a "win-more" card so I'm debating switching her for something else.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - Not a spell, but a 1 of for more consistent mana. Plus the art is sweet.

Sideboard :

Lifebane Zombie - Great hand disruption / info and a solid attacker. G/W nightmare. Moved to the side board for now.

Devour Flesh - For hexproof / bloodbaron.

Putrefy - Extra removal for creatures / weapons

Duress - More hand disruption for control and a way to side out our thoughtseizes vs burn.

Golgari Charm - For control / heavy enchantment decks.

Pithing Needle - Just to shut down anything that's annoying, mostly aetherling. I hate that card so much.

Mistcutter Hydra - For control and blue matchups. It won't get super huge, but that's okay.
