Hi! So, I have this Saproling deck.

My goal is for it to be a deck that while fun on the kitchen table against multiple players, can still go to FNM without getting its ass kicked. It doesn't have to be the most competitive deck in the world, but I still want it to survive being taken to a competitive environment every once in a while.

So right now I'm trying to figure out ways to up the competitiveness. I'm saving for a set of Windswept Heath, which I think I can safely add without changing the rest of the mana base too much, and, if I'm right and the new Ravnica set prints Temple Gardens, I'll try to get some of those too (and maybe a couple Sunpetal Groves would be good too at that point).

But besides the lands, I'm not too sure on what to do. I'm thinking another Garruk Wildspeaker would probably be good, because a single copy isn't really consistent enough (tbh the only reason I have just the one is that they're not exactly cheap). Any thoughts on that? Other than that, I don't know what could be changed or replaced, but I really would love suggestions.

Finally, the sideboard is a bit of a mess. I don't know enough about the local meta yet to build around it, so I just threw in some catch-all answers to specific card types as opposed to trying to fight specific decks. But I'd also really appreciate ideas on improving that.

Thank you very much for reading! I'd really love your thoughts on the deck and ways to make it better.
