Swapped out a few cards that should work faster than the rest.

Swapped out: Phytoburst(2x), Rhox(x1), terrastomper(3x), Blossoming Defense(2x)

Added: Oran-Rief Hydra(3x), Giant Growth(4x) and Wild Defiance(1x)

Giant Growth and Wild Defiance offer +6 +6 for one mana, making the combo work beautifully in this deck.

I've decided to swap out Terra Stomper for Oran-Rief Hydra simply for more damage potential. I would definitely recommend having some Stompers in the sideboard for some extra support- they really pull through against blue decks.

Thank you everyone that has posted suggestions and feed back, I really appreciate it! If you have anything else you might want me to change, post below! (Hopefully this deck gives the -make-it-your-own- feel, which is what I am aiming for.)

Hey, this deck looks great and I will probably build it this coming week, however I have a few constructive criticisms and questions, here's the least important one: too means also, to means a direction or ownership (this belongs to bob) and two is a number. Now on to the actual card choices: I'm curious as to why you play Phytoburst as opposed to Might of Old Krosa, Giant Growth, or Aspect of Hydra. Phytoburst is alright but the sorcery speed can be an issue against things in the modern format. also curious as to why you use 3 Terra Stomper when there are other good big creatures like Oran-Rief Hydra I was thinking of making a similar deck of fun combat tricks in green and white so I just wanted to see if there were anything you chose differently for a reason so that I can better improve my upcoming deck. Thanks for your time.

BardOfNaya + Jakobel thanks for commenting and suggesting

BardOfNaya:Already having tons of Phytobursts I decided to add it and see how it works, over Aspect of Hydra which I also had alot of. Because AoH depends on devotion to green, I felt it wouldn't be as efficient as a PBurst on a early round which is why I traded out. Might of Old Krosa is also a pricey card for a budget deck, which is why I didn't consider it. Giant Growth could definitely swap out for PBurst, but it's up to you what you choose.

terrastomper was also one of my stockpiled cards- I have tons now. While there is many choices that could be better, mainly I played against blue-counter decks at the time, in which the "cannot be countered" ability really came through for me. Oran-Rief Hydra would be amazing as a replacement, and it could also swap out.

Also sorry for grammar, I'll fix that :P

Jakobel: After swapping out the cards the deck feels slower for some reason (Possibly from bad hands). I'll keep trying them out, but I may swap back out for sideboard instead.
