Gift of the Deity on your boss would allow you to Deathtouch up to 7 untapped creatures in one attack (I usually put it on Sapling of Colfenor).

I've played Saprolings but not Treefolk. My instinct would be to pick one or the other to lean into.

Sapling of Colfenor is probably worth a look, as it's cheap, it's a popular Treefolk commander (I know you've got a commander picked already, but it'd fit in the 99), and Treefolk often have more toughness than power. Orchard Warden for similar reasons.

Assassin's Trophy is really good to have in this ident, although looking at the extremely low cost of your deck, I think you might turn it down for price reasons (it's about $7 USD right now). If you do, I'd go with Putrefy instead. Beast Within is really good to have whenever you have access to green.

I'd take Arcane Signet and Talisman of Resilience over the two diamonds.

Look at cards like Nemesis Mask or Lure. One good hit can kill with Poison counters and if nothing is blocked you can end the game or set up for a proliferate win.

It would take a bit of a rebuild but I always have fun running Sapling of Colfenor as a commander. Throw in a few "must block" cards and then nothing will be blocked except him for the rest of the game. All those little Toxic weenies hit every round. Gift of the Deity is great with Golgari colors and Indestructible.

I found in The Trees are Alive (my deck) that Sapling of Colfenor and Leaf-Crowned Elder got in each other's way some. If you found the same, but want the lifegain, I suggest Orchard Warden.

Swebb87 on sapling of colfenor jeska, thrice …

Hi, if 0 loyalty cost Jeska, Thrice Reborn and triple damage dealt when dealing damage to an opponent with Sapling of Colfenor and then pay a red mana to activate Break Through the Line and target Sapling, do I get through as its power is 2, and then the damage is tripled?

shadeslayerx22 Great suggestions, thanks! The situation had come up a couple times, and Sapling of Colfenor seems great in that spot, with some extra life gain and card draw. Thanks!

Treefolk Harbinger seems like a great way to get Doran, but it might be nice to have another tutor target if you already have on in play or just need another card besides a forest. Maybe a one of Sapling of Colfenor or Indomitable Ancients?

Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant  ^Flip maybe? Maybe try it as an alternate commander. You could attack and block with your samurai with impunity.

Maskwood Nexus?

I have a Sapling of Colfenor deck with a bunch of tricks that revolve around an Indestructible boss. Nemesis Mask, Avarice Amulet and Coercive Portal would work with any color. (I see you have the mask in already).

How do you not have Konda's Banner in already? Its his own banner!
