Ephemerate

Instant

Exile target creature you control, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.

Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

DarkKiridon: Ephemerate is definitely better than Cloudshift. I -think- I have one, I'll definitely have to swap those out. Thanks!

As for Avatar's Wrath...I'm not sure -how- deep I want to lean into the blink strategy. I have the blink cards in there mostly for the quick saving a creature when it's direly important to keep one creature safe from removal.

Thoughts on replacing that Cloudshift with Ephemerate?

Not sure if you have a stance on UB cards but Avatar's Wrath could be interesting in the build.

You can't Chord of Calling or Green Sun's Zenith for a Regrowth. Most green decks are built to leverage The Great Henge more than, say, Whirlwind of Thought. That's why Eternal Witness has become massively more popular in EDH than Regrowth ever could. You can Ephemerate, Reanimate, Heat Shimmer or Clone your Eternal Witness, while Regrowth has a lot less ubiquitous synergy pieces.

Weirdly enough, Snapcaster Magefoil never became as popular, even though the utility is very similar; a 2/1 human creature that grabs something from your graveyard to reuse. I think if Snapcaster were more popular, Regrowth would be as well.

Ok, I did some more playtesting against a wall and made quite major ovehaul.
When I was trying the Ephemerate it seemed like a card that was made for this deck as it protects and draws at the same time for a measly cost of one mana. And when not used as protection it draws more than any other beast while also enabling you to choose which ETB you want to repeat. Only it´s white and is not a creature. The not creature thing is quite painful when playing Winding Way, and it was my least favourite card from the deck, now I am trying Manamorphose instead. It is great in getting the right mana for your off color cards while drawing you a card, but the keepability of your hands suffered quite a bit along with the likelihood of non-beast/mana screw. I am not quite sure if it is better than before, but it is imho better prepared for removal and when you go off it feels like it fizzles less.
But the rainbow lands kinda enables you to play any color now, so I will try to find something really powerful in other colors. Anyway I am far from final version of this. Sideboard is more of an idea than a thought-out list.

Ok, I added the Selesnya Sanctuary. I thought that I can make mana of multiple color from the Metamorphosis, which is not the case. I also added Ephemerate as an protection spell, and as this is almost never a dead card I am running two main board. Also the Crumbling Vestige works with Sanctuary and Arboreal Grazer pretty well for producing red in the big turn. I think it´s better than Lotus Petal, because it stays on the board afterwards. When i kept a hand with the petal before I had some draw elf on board one turn earlier, but I was struggeling with mana afterwards more often than not.
I am still not sold on Nylea's Forerunner in the main board as it is one more card that I really don´t want to see in my opening hand And there is not that many decks in current meta that would have many blockers and are pushing so aggresivelly. Maybe I need to loose some games to this and will change my mind :-D

Some upgrade suggestions:

You're playing way to less lands. Go up to at least 38 Lands.

Ramp:

Add more ramp (in sum you should end at around 9-11):

but cut Kodama's Reach wtih execption of Axebane Guardian the ramp should help you get out Arcades at round 3, if possible.

Protection:

Replace Intervene with a flicker spell for one mana. Same effect but better synergy with commander. For example:

Replace Miscalculation with Arcane Denial

Replace Remove Soul with Displace or even better a board protection spell like:

Replace Seedling Charm with one of the following:

Removal:

Replace Solemn Offering with Stroke of Midnight

Add an additonal one-sided massremoval like Slaughter the Strong

Backup for Commander:

I have a similar list that I haven't had the chance to break out for a while, which probably needs some tuning up. Posting to check out play results and updates--I might borrow some of them, especially for the sideboard. Northwest Passage: Fire From Ice if you want to compare or offer suggestions (please).

Is there a role for Writhing Chrysalis here, aside from ramp and a big body? It doesn't Ephemerate well, since you get the Spawn tokens on cast, not etb.
