These changes will be implemented in my next purchase, I'm waiting for Modern Horizons to release before buying the new cards.
Now, on to the changes: The new Llanowar Tribe from Modern Horizons is basicly a second copy of Sombarwald Sage which is a fantastic manadork, so cutting Great Oak Guardian for it is a no brainer upgrade. Great Oak Guardian hasn'rt performed as I hoped, so adding an extra druid to the deck is good. I'm taking Yeva out because she's not a druid, while some of our manadorks do care about elves, such as Elvish Archdruid, I think there are enough to cut Yeva out. I might even build that budget Yeva Draw grow deck with her. And while Pathrazer of Ulamog does good damage, it can and is very often removed by kill spells. Carnage Tyrant is a hexproof beater & Eternal Witness recurs stuff from the grave that might end up there., so only sweepers can kill the dino. Blackblade Reforged is added as an alternative wincon, with all the land ramp we have in this deck, attaching Blackblade Reforged to Seton and swinging in can make it lethal commander damage. this also means I might switch out another card besides, Traverse the Outlands because that goes very well with this plan. for that I've decided to take out Wild Growth. it only ramps me for 1 additional mana so it's not really effective here. Force of Vigor is just a straight up improvement of Krosan Grip, costs 1 more mana but destroys 2 things instead of 1, that extra enchantment or artifact is worth that extra mana to cast it and should I tap out I can always exile a green card from my hand to cast this. added Tsunami to the deck to hose blue players more. Choke isn't enough, it can be removed, Tsunami just destroys teir lands outright. with the amount of blue hate I put in, Harvest Season might be a better ramp than Carpet of Flowers. gonna test it out at least. I'm taking out some of non-druid creatures and putting some druids back in. maybe the deck plays like I intended it to if I just stick more to the theme. that said, I am keeping some of the big monsters in. Baru is only really good in one situation. with him on the field and casting traverse the outlands, your creatures get massive, but that is only tthing he's good for. Chameleon Colossus can get massive with lots of mana and its also a druid so easy replacement there. Paradox Engine is officialy banned so taking it out and putting Wirewood Lodge back in.
