Screw Budget! —April 5, 2014

The budget bit of this deck is now gone as I was able to trade for a large number of cards I needed for a non-budget version. It is now bigger, badder and significantly better!

Was expecting Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip :(

Before I clicked, I just saw the title because I subscribe to you it just said you had created this deck.

Wouldn't Nykthos be helpful?

It's good for casual play I wound not take it to FNM, it would be a slaughter show on you. creatures are to weak with no big pay off. you need bigger and badder creatures or it's going to be a quick take down for your opponent

I will also agree with ChiefBell that Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx would be a great addition to this deck as it can very quickly let you dump your hand onto the field.

The problem is that Nykthos is $9, and this is a budget deck. I don't want to be splashing $20 or more on lands.

I'd love to see an FNMers face after getting hulksmashed by this! Green is my fav.

May I suggest Ranger's Guile or Mortal's Resolve ? They seem decent but I dont play standard.

Mending Touch would be a good card to sideboard against the control decks.

Mono green has been a thing since devotion showed up

Obviously you must choose between Charging Badger or Sedge Scorpion as a one drop. Anything less just will not do.

Lol

Would work better with Nykthos...
Although I completely understand the principle of budget standard!

AND you run Aspect of Hydra ! Brilliant!

I do agree that Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx would be too good not to run in this deck, but I understand the budget limitations. Have you thought about cutting one Nylea? Three seems a little excessive. I love this deck though, +1. MONO GREEEEEEEEEEEN

KrosanTusker Of course I run Aspect of Hydra ! It's a Giant Growth on steroids and crack at the same time! In playtesting I've managed to get my devotion up to 10 or 11, meaning that for 1 mana, get enough buffs to take out over half of my opponent's life total (or kill a blocking Worldspine Wurm ).

Epicbatman Thanks for the upvote. Nylea's a difficult inclusion for me because, although this is a budget deck and I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible, at the same time I feel that she really is necessary. The trample for all of my guys is so powerful as otherwise my 8/8 Reverent Hunter can easily be chump blocked, or my Aspect of Hydra buffs may be wasted. She also works well with Pit Fight as she will almost always win and come out unscathed, and she can be a mana sink in the late game. I feel that 3 is the right amount.

I suggest you Karametra's Acolyte . It's a budget card and when you play it, next turn you can play whole hand. Karametra's Acolyte works with Nylea too. I would take 4 Swordwise Centaur s out and put 4 Karametra's Acolyte s in. Bow of Nylea would be just great in this deck. When you have nylea and her bow same time on battleground, you have "unbeatable" trample, deathtouch combination. :).

Great cards in sideboard:

Mending Touch againist black decks

Ranger's Guile againist control

Nylea's Disciple againist aggro

Arbor Colossus againist annoying Nightveil Specter , Desecration Demon ...

Sylvan Primordial againist control (planeswalkers) :P
