More Threats! —April 1, 2014
So my playtesting to date has shown me some fun things this deck can do, but unfortunately, I couldn't consistently pull enough threats to keep the pressure on in enough games. So, I pulled Boon Satyr and Kiora's Follower, added another Polukranos, World Eater and mainboarded the two Arbor Colossus and a Clan Defiance. I found the followers weren't often needed for ramp and just weren't enough of a threat. To fill the space in the sideboard, Anger of the Gods. Especially against aggro decks.

First off, @Hider1120, any number of Domri Rade s I get will end up in here, I just don't have access to a full playset right now. And I don't think, actually that the GGG will be too difficult to achieve since 27 of my 30 mana sources produce green mana, but Arbor Colossus probably does still make more sense to sub out.
@MagatsuIzanagi, I definitely will have to find some room for Prime Speaker Zegana for late game situations.
Thanks for the input.

As an alternative to Prime Speaker Zegana , what about Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius ? He gives card draw and is flexible, evasive, and combos well with Prophet of Kruphix . Otherwise, awesome deck! +1 from me!

I do like the idea with Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius , I'm just concerned that double u and r might be difficult with the current mana setup. Right now, everything runs pretty smooth, but if I can fit it in, it might be better for late game digs. Playtesting time!

If you want to cut Boon Satyr , have you considered the other planeswalkers? Jace, Architect of Thought can protect you from aggro or gain you card advantage but I feel Chandra, Pyromaster might be a great addition. It can ping away aggro decks, gain card advantage against a control deck (as well as combo with Domri Rade ), and tap blockers in a midrange game. It would require a little mana shift but I feel like it is possible to drop on turn 4 with your Sylvan Caryatid 's. I'm working on a similar deck so keep up the good work and +1 ! :)

If you like Boon Satyr cut Arbor Colossus , triple G is really hard to reach in a three-color deck. Also, run more Domri Rade , that's more card draw/removal/win-con. With Courser it's awesome. Cut some mana-dorks to add the final two in. Hope I helped!
