Forgot to say what to take out for the three cards above: Green Sun's Twilight, Hull Breach, Lukka, Bound to Ruin. The Twilight is unrealiable until you spend a lot of mana into it. The Breach is sorcery-speed. The planeswalker does not do much here.

Now some small upgrades you can make:

• Assassin's Trophy and Tear Asunder are more versatile than Artifact Mutation and Putrefy.

• If graveyard decks are rampant on your playgroup, Baleful Mastery works better than Terminate.

• If you run fetchable lands (Ziatora's Proving Ground, Blood Crypt, Stomping Ground, Overgrown Tomb, Canyon Slough, Woodland Chasm, Sulfurous Mire, Highland Forest, Haunted Mire, Geothermal Bog, Wooded Ridgeline), consider running Three Visits, Farseek, Into the North and Skyshroud Claim instead of Sakura-Tribe Elder, Rampant Growth, Explosive Vegetation and Thran Dynamo.

• Since you run Crux of Fate, it might be better not depend on non-dragon creature ramp: Courser of Kruphix, Shaman of Forgotten Ways and Solemn Simulacrum could instead be Scaled Nurturer, Fellwar Stone and Coalition Relic.

• Garruk, Primal Hunter and Return of the Wildspeaker draw way more cards than Read the Bones and Dragonmaster Outcast (this last one is too slow to get going).

• You probably want to run Ash Barrens, Blighted Woodland and Myriad Landscape for more fixing and ramp. Exotic Orchard and Secluded Courtyard wouldn't hurt, either.

wallisface Green is super-anti-flying, but {G}{U} cards with flying and a green ability keep being printed. Why is red first strike + green deathtouch a bend? As far as {B}{G} deathstrike goes, first strike is tertiary in black and a non-ability in green, and this only appears on Glissa, the Traitor and Glissa Sunslayer.

Daveslab2022 Would you consider cards like Recoil, Lightning Helix, the guild charms like Selesnya Charm, or Putrefy bad design, boring, or unintuitive? I understand that {R} + {G} =/= {R}{G}. I'm wondering why that's the case.

---

I completely understand that there's an active effort to prevent color pairs from feeling too samey, and in interest of completion, I feel obligated to say that Voracious Cobra exists. But I still have some questions.

Is there an absolute prohibition on red-green deathstrike? If so, what distinguishes red-green deathstrike from black-green flying/vigilance?

Is there simply too much overlap between {B}'s dedicated removal and {R}{G} deathstrike?

With Ambush Viper, Ice-Fang Coatl, Winged Coatl, and Fleetfeather Cockatrice, is instant-speed creature spot removal more acceptable in {G}{U} than in {R}{G}?

What makes Golgari Death Swarm a better creative choice than Warrant / Warden, and why did that get printed if it's an inferior choice?

Is there any potential for a card like Warp World or The Great Aurora to be made in {R}{G}? Why or why not?

Ik zou de Piranha Marsh inwisselen voor een Barren Moor of een basic. Je kunt ook evt een Desert of the Glorified kunnen toevoegen en ik zou sws een Ash Barrens en een Myriad Landscape erin stoppen.

Je kunt makkelijk naar ong 40 lands, ik zou de ruimte die daarmee vrij komt vullen met removal/draw, zoals Tear Asunder, Putrefy, Harmonize, Binding the Old Gods en Casualties of War

Nice, as well as the other additions you've got planned I'd definitely consider Bane of Progress - by the time you cast it this deck probably doesn't care about losing its enchantments or artifacts (honestly not sure you even need a Sol Ring, you're better getting more mana dorks like Tangled Florahedron  ^Flip) but it will annihilate some other strategies. Plus you ARE in green which is full of Regrowth effects that are pretty on-theme of you're desperate to get stuff back! The deck is maybe a little lacking in non-creature removal for me, simply as without blue you may struggle to interact with combo pieces. Thankfully Golgari has this in spades with cards such as Abrupt Decay, Binding the Old Gods, Putrefy and Culling Ritual/Maelstrom Pulse. Those last two are also ways to wipe all your saprolings if you don't have a sac outlet, something the deck might want more of it you're planning on them all dying to kill with drain effects - free ones with upside like Viscera Seer are obviously the best! Either would be better than Mandate for you here - that's really for when you are sure you'll have a big dude and need him to get in. All too often I think you'll find it only blows up Saprolings and if you're lucky some other small tokens opponents have, and if you don't have a creature to target it does nothing. Willowdusk is really worth considering if you're gaining life BTW, she'll quickly create big threats to distract people from what's actually going to win you the game. Also Vraska is a way better planeswalker than Ob Nixilis, I'd probably go with her Golgari Queen iteration but The Unseen is ok too. Finally you can always upgrade the lands but TBH basics will probably be fine here for the most part, especially given your ramp choices (could include Kodama's Reach in that package too?).

Oh, by the way, the brackets are supposed to be doubled for linking stuff.

[[Max_Hammer]],
[[Path of Ancestry]],
[[pain-your-dues-1]],
[[W]]!

It's also good to use specification when you're talking about cards. You can say the type of thing you want to link, then the thing, like this.

[[user: Max_Hammer]],
[[card: Path of Ancestry]],
[[deck: pain-your-dues-1]],
[[symbol: W]]!

Both of these should come out looking like this, by the way.

Max_Hammer, Path of Ancestry, Pain' Your Dues, {W}!

It's good to use those because stuff like Putrefy is a card, but also probably a person and a deck, too. Since I didn't specify what I wanted, I have no clue what or who I just linked.

Here's the full guide, if you want it! It's just HTML formatting, so it's easy, and a semi-useful skill if you troll a lot of forums or need to learn web design. Plus, you can rename guys like this to Little Cutie!
