NevisCF's Mono-Green Mana Ramp
3 months ago
You have a bit too many lands. I hate missing land drops but in a mono green ramp deck, you are more than okay with cutting some lands. I usually go for 37 myself depending on the deck. I would suggest to go to 38 and then add more if you consistently are getting mana screwed. Removing those 4 lands will provide you with crucial additional slots. In those slots, I recommend you add in more draw since draw will enable you to establish more land drops which should mitigate any potential concern.
Ancient Tomb/Castle Garenbrig - Ramp
Gaea's Cradle - Super ramp (not within budget but worth proxying)
Deserted Temple - Untap nykthos, cradle or use as a political tool. Not needed but worth mentioning.
Mirrorpool - A pet card of mine thats fun, not necessary but enjoyable. Would require some additional non basics which I can recommend. Given you are playing mono green ramp, you have a lot of room for non-basics. Nothing too crazy given all ur green 1 drops but definitely more.
Turntimber, Serpentine Wood Flip - Land if you need it, creature if you dont
Beast Within and Song of the Dryads - Removal. I know you are mono green ramp but if an opponent is stopping you from advancing, you need an answer. The latter is extremely powerful on Black or Red commanders that have a difficulty with enchantment removal.
Momentous Fall - Used in response to removal, beware of the blue player.
Greater Good - SUPER powerful card you should definitely add. Acts similar to the above and also fills ur GY for creeping renaissance.
Sylvan Library - Draw/Filter
Tooth and Nail - Wincon
Rishkar's Expertise - Draw + tempo that can "bypass" targeted removal.
Harmonize - Simple draw, not ideal but worth mentioning
Regal Force - Tooth and Nail --> Avenger + Regal = Mass Draw. Regal can be powerful if you are set up right as well.
Bane of Progress - Meta dependent. Affects 10% of ur deck, worth considering.
Eternal Witness - Recursion.
Skullclamp - Makes ur 1/1s into draw, punishes removal.

Farseek - But the only basics you have are forests and farseek doesn't get a forest. What am I missing here? I'm trying to wrap my head around this.
Speaking of lands, have you considered adding any non-basics? I understand you need a lot of basics from your strategy + early game. Crop rotation in particular would warrant some nonbasics. Some non-basics to consider include....
Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal
Castle Garenbrig - Ramp
Yavimaya Hollow - Regen + politics, expensive but could be worth it depending on how much you're trying to drop on this deck.
Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Not a strong inclusion as it could help your opponents more than you. The benefit being able to tap your fetchs for mana when needed and sac them when you don't (especially for top of deck cards like Oracle of Mul Daya).

How has playing with 40 lands been like for you with an avg 4.2 cmc? Have you considered swapping out 1-3 lands for either ramp or card draw? Speaking of lands, here are some lands you might find useful.
Castle Garenbrig - Ramp
Turntimber, Serpentine Wood Flip - Big creature
War Room
- Draw
Yavimaya Hollow - Regen + Politics
Beast Within - Removal
Deflecting Swat - Protection, politics. Redirect counterspells, targeted removal, extra turns and draw. Ability to bluff while tapped out is nice.
Heroic Intervention - Protection
Your creature choices seem solid like most xenagos decks. I do wonder how Realm Seakers and panglacial wurm have been playing for you, +1

Sustainable Green Energy

Crucible of Worlds/Conduit of Worlds/Ramunap Excavator - Recursion for fetch lands. Those are your easiest ways to stack energy. Maybe even a Splendid Reclamation, but that's a bit much.
Lotus Cobra - Gas!
Azusa, Lost but Seeking/Exploration/Burgeoning - Extra land drops needed to utilize energy
Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal
Yavimaya Hollow - Regen/politics
Cryptic Caves - Draw, reuseable with crucible effects
Prismatic Vista > Terramorphic, budget permitting
Castle Garenbrig - Ramp

Thanks for the recommendations Profet93; I can always count on your valuable support. For now, Nissa's Pilgrimage will definitely replace Kodama's Reach and Castle Garenbrig will definitely replace a forest (can't believe I overlooked that one!).
You're suggesting a lot of additional (or replacement) draw mechanisms for a deck that already has at least sixteen scry/draw/tutor resources. During play with this set, I've rarely lacked for enough cards to cast so I'm not sure whether adding more CA is necessary. Greater Good is the one suggestion I'd still like to find a place for, considering that it allows one to still make use of a card that might already be on its way to the graveyard (or in emergencies, when one is stuck). I get Elemental Bond is harder to remove than Garruk's Packleader, but I opted for leader because as a creature it can do more than just remain a static enchantment (so for me, multi-functionality trumps survivability, but I can still understand Bond's appeal).
As for Primeval Bounty; it's mostly in for sentimental reasons (I will mention this in the primer, because you're not the first person to mention it in a similar context). It was the first mythic my wife ever pulled from a pack (she unexpectedly passed away in 2020) and the above deck is largely based on her favorite mono-green build (which featured Yeva as its commander).

NV_1980 +1 my good sir, I love reading your descriptions. It's evident that you spend a lot of time and love for each of your decks. I have some thoughts....
Return to Nature > naturalize - Strict upgrade
Elemental Bond > Garruk Packleader - Costs less and is an enchantment so it's much less likely to be removed and it's easier to cast
Nissa's Pilgrimage > Cultivate/Kodama - Strict upgrade
Primeval Bounty - First mode is the best, second is decent, third is not impactful. It has a high CMC and doesn't do much the turn it comes in. What has your experience been with it? Perhaps swapping it with something below could help....
Momentous Fall - Useful in response to removal. Sacrificing is additional cost to cast so watch out for the blue player. Alternatively, it's cousin, Life's Legacy might be worth considering. Return of the Wildspeaker also can act as draw or an overrun.
Green Sun's Zenith - While you do already run finale, some additional tutoring redundancy can't hurt.
Garruk, Primal Hunter - It's a soul's majesty that can make tokens to defend itself. Also adds devotion.
Dense Foliage - Not an entirely serious suggestion but worth mentioning, you usually target your creatures with abilities, not spells. Depends on the meta for sure. Could be useful to make someone burn a removal spell.
Greater Good - Best recommendation for your deck. Draws cards + virtual card advantage, acts as a sac outlet to prevent exile and theft (which apparently is a thing given your homeward path) and can be used in response to removal.
Shaman of Forgotten Ways - Nice little guy, not entirely serious but worth noting. It's ramp and an alt wincon.
Castle Garenbrig - Simple ramp
Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal in land form
Mirrorpool - Not a serious suggestion given your lack of nonbasics (which I think you can add some more). Imagine copying rishkar's, shamanic, beast within, etc.... not to mention any of your big dudes.
Turntimber, Serpentine Wood Flip - Land when you need it, creature when you don't!
