While the loss of Gitaxian Probe really damaged the viability of Monkey Grow (a Modern variant of RUG Delver) I've still always loved the deck. With several new additions to the deck, such as Repudiate / Replicate and Mission Briefing , can the combination of human insects, monkeys, countermagic (and whatever the heck a Tarmogoyf is) resume their record of beating up fair decks and taking their lunch money? Let's find out!
