id probably put some Pacifism in (always good in any deck that uses white mana) and cards with vigilance also might want to add some Grove of the Guardian and also look at the older set Ravnica city of guilds some good cards in there for what your trying to do otherwise you seem to be on the right track and doing good job of it just dont get discouraged and keep at it and you will be popping those tokens out like rabbits XD another thing you may want to look at is shocklands

I would take out Knightly Valor and Celestial Archon both are to high for what you get put in two more Growing Ranks .

Like the Deck +1!

Possibly also Trostani, Selesnya's Voice but it is sort of a expensive compared to the rest of the cards in the deck it makes it a semi expensive deck if you want 4.

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is nice...I'm also thinking of putting in Call of the Conclave and Selesnya Charm . Probably going to drop Reap What Is Sown , Celestial Archon , Horncaller's Chant , Slime Molding , and Miming Slime .

Maybe instead of Celestial Archon use Collective Blessing you get a biger bang for you buck.

I really like this deck, there seem to be very few dead draws within your deck. The only problems that you could run into is different forms of removal. That being said you have Rootborn Defenses to cover most sweepers (apart from Bile Blight ). Sweepers is what can hurt you the most I feel. Because you need something on the board to then populate. If you play/ cast a creature then populate you are a turn behind (because they cannot attack). Bearing all of this in mind, I really think you ave a strong deck. What I love is that you have a strong deck by fielding fairly inexpensive cards, giving you a cheap deck. That is what I commend you for!

Sweeps are why I'm considering putting something like Collective Blessing into the sideboard. I'd replace Hundred-Handed One , which I hardly use anyway.

I like the idea of boarding in Collective Blessing to go against sweepers .... but hard removal like Supreme Verdict or Fated Retribution or Planar Cleansing those cards just wouldn't care about Collective Blessing that being said ... the mana cost of it is rather steep.

Lol. Rootborn Defenses is great because not only do all your creatures survive most boardwipes (things like Worldfire still get you), you also get another one :)

March 9, 2014 9:56 p.m.

I want to make a sixty card deck with worldfire there is no win just keep playing Worldfire lol

So I changed it up a bit. -1 Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage -2 Unflinching Courage , +3 Armada Wurm .

I didn't realize you had money flowing out of your wallet !!!!

March 13, 2014 7:05 p.m.

TheHroth says... #16

I don't. Armada Wurm is actually a really cheap card. Only around 3$, and it gives you 2 5/5 tramplers for 6 mana.

March 13, 2014 7:08 p.m.

Helloagain says... #17

Nooooo thats crazy cheap !!! go for it man !!

I need something to give Wayfaring Temple trample. Unflinching Courage worked, but I don't want an aura. I want something that can give them all trample. I'm considering Nylea, God of the Hunt , but with such low devotion, it is unlikely she'll ever be active as a creature herself. Also considering Archetype of Courage + Bow of Nylea . Thoughts?

March 13, 2014 8:26 p.m.

Helloagain says... #19

Nylea, God of the Hunt would be really good for you I feel. You wont have much devotion to turn her on but you would certainly be able to use her ability ot some HUGE effects within your deck. in terms of Archetype of Courage + Bow of Nylea what would you be trading out for them ? I agree they are both powerful cards, I have used Bow of Nylea in one of my other decks and it was really useful. But within your deck I see the combo as a 'win more' strategy, more then anything else.

After playing with your deck twice and against it twice with my friends (potential bad piloting taken into account) my feel is that you have problems with answering big threats like Stormbreath Dragon and other big beasties like that. From my experience (although limited because I've only played 4 games) I didn't feel comfortable using Selesnya Charm as removal overly much. I felt that it was more useful as the combat trick or token production. Druid's Deliverance is a good card for you to get around Stormbreath Dragon but it delays for a turn, not getting rid of the problem. In my opinion investing in some other forms of removal might be highly effective for you. But that is only if you have found that problem yourself. My other query is what match up do you have Collective Blessing to sideboard against ?Apart from that I am really liking your deck man, keep it going . +1 from me always.

For Stormbreath Dragon , I havn't found a really good answer yet, and it will be really hard to because it is protection from white, which would make it immune to most of my forms of removal.

Collective Blessing is in the side against sweepers such as Bile Blight , and also makes for a great card period. It'd switch it to the main board somehow if I put Nylea, God of the Hunt in, which I feel I should.

Oh...brainwave! Plummet ! Duh lol

Been thinking about putting Experiment One in. He could get pretty big pretty quick, and be a serious threat.

March 21, 2014 12:17 a.m.

Helloagain says... #24

What would you take out for it though ??I agree that it can evolve really quickly but seeing as your deck revolves around populate and not evolve. If you put 3 or 4 in then you can draw him early which can be good. But if you put 3 or 4 in and you draw him turn 6+ then he is a big dead draw.

Also I think you should drop one Wayfaring Temple . He is really powerful but your missing a few token triggers to warrant having 4 of him within your deck I feel. You only have 8 token 'makers' within your deck ( not including Selesnya Charm ). Which means that you might find yourself having a lot of populate triggers but in need of a token.
