The basic premise is to use your mana dorks to get out some green fatties and bide your time/stabilize until you can use all the various mana on Villainous Wealth for the win. Or if you can't find a Wealth, there are plenty of ways to win playing this deck like it was mono-green devotion.

As for the fatties in question, I chose those which had the most to bring to the devotion table, but those which are also awesome in their own ways.

Courser of Kruphix is great against aggro and is also pseudo ramp. Polukranos, World Eater can wipe the board and is removal bait. Arbor Colossus is great against all the flyers in standard, and only gets bigger. Hornet Queen is great at stabilizing and helps bide time. Nylea, God of the Hunt is a wincon on her own, giving your fatties trample or +2/+2 many times over. Hydra Broodmaster is another great mana-sink which allows you to make an overwhelming army of hydras. And Dig Through Time is here to help us find Villainous Wealth (although I'm also considering Liliana Vess for this spot).

Your criticisms/suggestions/+1s are always welcome and appreciated. Thanks for reading!
