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

I really think you want the Nylea's Forerunner. It isn't hard to cast on a storm turn, when you draw your whole deck you should have extra Metamorphosis to cast this. It's likely you'll only start with 2-4 non-sumsick creatures on the big turn. I have had a lot of games where Nylea's pushes through lethal off just these 2 attackers, and if I didn't have it I'd be a turn slower and in some cases I'd lose. Another consideration, the trample is very important vs. something like Prismatic Strands because it ensures one of your off-color attackers like Universal Automaton can still connect, when they Strands on green then block your non-green creatures. I would really consider adding Nylea's and Selesnya Sanctuary, and my current list I cut Skyshroud Ridgeback to add 2 Generous Ents which help with the mana and support sideboard Masked Vandal.

Good luck with the tourney yo!!

I think you may be on to something with Winding Way, it has felt pretty good in my testing! Here are my notes for your version: I think you want more white sources like Selesnya Sanctuary, I think Cutter is really good and should be 4x, I think mainboard Nylea's Forerunner is needed because sometimes on the storm turn you might have just 2 creatures to attack and no way to get through blockers, Nylea's or a haste enabler/gingerbrute is needed but I think it's just so sweet because that card is even a beast. That's about it, I like the windings/2 rites and will adopt these in my version!

If you're trying to trim this deck down, Krosan Groundshaker is mana-heavy, relatively low stats for its cost, and redundant with four Rancors and a Nylea's Forerunner. I would also personally drop 1-2 Rampaging Baloths; while they fill the board quickly, especially with your ramp spells, I think having four will mean one or two just sit in your hand taking up space for a few turns.

I took out Littjara Kinseekers and Nylea's Forerunner and added Tyranid Prime and Gala Greeters. Thanks for the advice! Keeping Trufflesnout in there cause that little boar holds a special place in my heart <3

Thank you lespaul977 for letting me know about that! I don't have any Nylea's Forerunner in the bulk I have, but that would be a very helpful card. Next time I visit the FLGS I'll ask if they have any.

Nice deck! If you’re looking for common cards that give your creatures trample, I would suggest considering Nylea's Forerunner. I’ve had some good luck with it in my Monster Mash (Beast Deck). It is newer than 2015, but I think it would be right up your alley if you got your hands on it. Good luck with this one!

Anax, Hardened in the Forge , Archetype of Aggression , Garruk's Packleader , Nylea's Forerunner , Quartzwood Crasher and Warmonger Hellkite might be some cards of interest. My Strength Incarnate deck might have some other useful cards, but those are the best I can think of.
