Really torn between finding room for a Vigor, a Plaguemaw Beast or just leaving it as-is.

it kinda looks like a combination between hardened modular and mono green stompy. i think it'd be better if you just focused on one of those. i have both kinds of decks posted if you'd like to take a look at them.

Predator ooze seems really slow and I'd go with Heroic Intervention or Blossoming Defense over inspiring cal

There are many good creature options in green +1/+1 builds. Good list!

Maybe sideboard Mutant's Prey for matches where you need quicker removal?

Pendelhaven! Kinda situational of course, but one copy will have next to no downside in the deck

sergiodelrio, normally I would agree with you but in this deck I really don't have any 1/1 creatures to speak of - Experiment One and Swarm Shambler tend to get bigger almost immediately - and I'm already a little skittish about Blood Moon and similar effects.

On the proactive side, things look very good. You’ve got lots of synergy and some great wincons. I think you should sideboard in some better removal though. A well timed Solemnity or Vampire Hexmage can really derail you, so I’d recommend something a bit faster than Broken Wings like a Natural State or even a Nature's Claim.

If anything, people will be siding out Blood moon vs a mono coloured deck that fetches for basics only by default. No need to be scared of that specific matchup imho. Pumping those Shambler tokens would be neat :D

But I agree upside is limited either way

Forgotten Ancient might have been forgotten for the deck. The ability to gain (particularly with Hardened Scales in play) and distribute +1/+1 counters should make a nice addition.

Fuzzy003, I'm going to have to look at that. While its utility is certainly strong, it just seems too slow to be effective in a Modern deck. With a four CMC, you have to figure it'll be the 5th or 6th turn before I get it into play and then it'll be the next round at the earliest that I get to enjoy its benefit. By turn 6 or 7 I'm usually running around with multiple 12+/12+ creatures, sometimes double that.

All depends on your play group. I play usually with 3-5 in various multiplayer formats so a Forgotten Ancient making it around after a turn 3-4 drop typically ends up around 5/8 by the time it gets back to me(more with Hardened Scales in play). Well worth it for me. In a 1 on 1 he's a lot slower.
