I also got a Worldspine Wurm and an Armada Wurm from my RTR boxes so they may make appearances.

What do we think about taking out card:Mayael's Aria for Lightning Greaves and Terra Stomper for Armada Wurm ? Just some swaps i was thinking about earlier.

@BrokenZygoma I am not sure if I'd switch out card:Mayael's Aria for the Lightning Greaves , I like the alternate win con and there's already Asceticism and Spearbreaker Behemoth for spell protection. If its the haste you're going for I might use a land like card:Slayers' Stronghold instead... I say that one because I was playing cube last night and that card finished me off in three games... ugh.
As for the Armada Wurm replacing Terra Stomper , I like it... except I see a lot of wurms making their way in here where once beasts did roam. Thematically I like the beast, and the "uncounterable" is awesome. but I think you may have a good idea with the Armada Wurm . I'll think about it more at work today...

so the day of work is over and I have concluded that I should not try to think of awesome magic ideas at 7:00 am. I realize now that Lightning Greaves would be pretty sweet in this deck... esp considering how cheap they are (mana wise, not dollars) and how the alternative protection is pretty high cost. you may be right that card:Mayael's Aria might the best choice to sub them in for... but I kind of like that card if for no other reason than because there are not many other decks you would use it in.

I like card:Mayael's Aria but that's not how I want to win. In all honesty, I don't even play with it anymore. I put in most of the control and removed some unnecessary cards for my current play group. It would work much better in a deck where that's my way to win. And Lightning Greaves allows me to get an 8/8 token the turn I play Godsire or get 4 lands from Primeval Titan the first turn I have him. As for Terra Stomper It may not be replaced by Armada Wurm . I thought about some more of those utility beasts as suitable replacements. I want something that's a bit more than just a giant creature. Something that costs 5 or 6 that does something to help the other big beasties.

I just did a quick beast-search for some beasts and other creatures that would "help the other big beasties" as you say... here's a quick list I came up with (and yes, I know some aren't too great, but I decided to list em all anyway):
Draw beasts:card:Garruk's Packleader
Beast Buffers:Rakeclaw Gargantuan , Sigiled Behemoth , Berserk Murlodont , Bloodstoke Howler , Mosstodon , Bloodthorn Taunter
gets buffs from other beasts:Cliffrunner Behemoth , Glowering Rogon
Removal beasts:Indrik Stomphowler , Mold Shambler
Mana beasts:Krosan Warchief , ...then there's Krosan Drover and Sacellum Godspeaker (not beasts i know)
control beasts:Pallimud , Realm Razer

I know I"m a bit crazy for saying this... but I like Realm Razer ... esp after getting a Godsire out...
October 31, 2012 8:20 p.m.
BrokenZygoma says... #11
I think I may run card:Garruk's Packleader. I need more main deck draw. And Realm Razer is pretty sick and could certainly do some damage

Behemoth Sledge does work here. What came to mind was its gruul cousin Mage Slayer , which did some work in my Borborygmos deck, although I never got it finely tuned. Same cast and equip cost, but instead of lifelink you get a free fling. I'm working on my own godsire deck but haven't made the hard decisions yet besides the basic skeleton, I might 1 of each artifact so it's a surprise whether I'll be happy or they'll be pissed after the equip.

Well this deck is pretty old now and in its original state it ran Mage Slayer and Warstorm Surge but they both got taken out in the end.

I have a Natural Order + Godsire themed deck too. I love Wood Elves for the sac.
T1: Llanowar Elves T2: Wood Elves T3: Natural Order Sac the wood elves for godsire. Play Instill Energy on godsire. Swing for 8 and then make 2 tokens. Yeah, fun stuff.
My biggest problem was dealing with efficient flyer decks. Cloudthresher was the answer. You might try those for fun!
November 28, 2012 2:25 a.m.
Scourge of the Nobilis or Shield of the Oversoul could find a use here.

Some zendikar shock lands could be useful considering your running so many landfall creatures. Won't hurt the play of the deck and balances mana nicely if you have some.

Have you considered card:Aurelia's Fury - stop the Slivers for a moment. and/or Aurelia, the Warleader - attack and attack again. or attack and then untap for blocking should your opponent survived.
I love the deck. Though I had to pull the 3 Woolly Thoctar and replace them with 3 Figure of Destiny . Comes out quicker, is pumpable to even bigger. Too bad he doesn't play well with Natural Order .

BrokenZygoma says... #18
Yeah I'm partial to the Woolly Thoctar but he can be swapped out for any creature really. I just like the value. And Id rather use Bonfire of the Damned to take care of the sweeping. I have no problem hard casting it late game with all the mana I have. And I do like Aurelia, the Warleader , but she doesn't really fit here. This Is a beasty deck and always will be. I like to keep that flavor.

Looking at your last update, where you considered putting in Domri Rade , I was thinking he would be a great switch for your card:Garruk's Horde. His +1 effect is better IMO than being able to cast the top card. Plus, you don't have to always show what you're drawing next, especially if its not a creature. Plus, the fight mechanic can be great removal. Have you been considering any other new Gruul stuff?
BTW, love seeing Realm Razor in there now!

Made an account to say this deck looks awesome. I really like the addition of Garruk's Horde . Tough decision on which PW to run but I'd like to see Garruk, Primal Hunter for his flexibility in token generation and keeping meat shields up while increasing his loyalty, but also just because his -6 could just be an absurd late game blow if you could pull it off. I like Domri Rade , but you already get the same card control effect already from Garruk's Horde so I feel like the +1 is a bit wasted. What else has changed over the past year?

I really dig on this deck. I roll without the Garruk Wildspeaker and instead have Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger . It's a pretty brutal thing to gather all that mana, drop Realm Razer and then Primeval Titan .
Also, have you considered swapping the Woolly Thoctar for a Leatherback Baloth ? Not exactly the same card, I know, but mono green and just a generally nice card.

For one, you should know I've loved this deck for ages. One thought I had, shouldn't Rampant Growth be switched for Sakura-Tribe Elder ? Same speed but gives more functionality, a good optional target for Natural Order , and is protected against any possible Duress shenanigans...
July 15, 2014 9:32 p.m.
CommanderFun says... #23
...also Garruk's Horde can play the Tribe Elder too...

BrokenZygoma says... #24
Hmmm, thats not a bad idea honestly. I may make that change. Ive been looking to update this deck. I still play with it frequently and it does really well

card:Trostani, Selesnya's Voice isn't too impressive. You'd have to be able to get both it and Godsire out, both of which don't have summoning sickness. Godsire is only a 3 of, so the token won't be populated that often. The life gain is nice, but I think beatdown is just better for this deck.
