This deck will not help you win friends and influence people. It might not even help you win games. But it should be fun.

The idea behind this deck is mono-green chaos control. In practice, this is especially bad for opponents paying blue or black (see, e.g., Tsunami or Spreading Algae). I tried to include something for every color, but green really likes the other Naya colors, so there is far less that works against red or white specifically.

That said, there is still plenty here that would muddle up play for any opponent. You could also choose almost any commander, but Jolrael, Empress of Beasts has the advantage of being able to threaten any player that would board-wipe with turning all their lands into creatures in response.

This deck probably needs more ramp, but the mana curve is low and there is decent card draw. Ideally, you could swap out some color-specific cards for ramp if you know that you won't be playing a blue or black deck, for example. I've included suggestions on the maybeboard. It does currently include Carpet of Flowers, so there's that.

Suggestions welcome!
