This all started because I wanted to make Nightshade Peddler useful. I think the best combo with him is Guard Gomazoa , or Indomitable Ancients , both cards that combo well with Gorgon Flail and Peregrine Mask and the Doran, the Siege Tower / Wakestone Gargoyle combo which is about the only way this deck can win.

I'd like to have Yeva, Nature's Herald so I can flash in Doran, the Siege Tower , but I'm not sure I have enough green creatures to justify such an expensive legend.

I'd really like to have Skinshifter , but it seems no matter what I do, he's never useful in any deck I build.

Glissa, the Traitor is another card I've been trying to use for a while now, and I think with Cathedral Membrane , Shield Sphere and Steel Wall, I may have succeeded.

Okay, so Birthing Pod is my new favourite card. So early game, I'll hope to get Fog Bank and Guard Gomazoa down, but I can sac any 2 cost creature for Doran, the Siege Tower and sac any 3 cost for Wakestone Gargoyle . If I find good artifact creatures for these sacrifices, I can get them back with Glissa, the Traitor, or leave them in the graveyard for Ghoultree

Feedback appreciated!
