You have some issues with curve, If I were you, I'd cut Sylvan Primordial and Deadbridge Chant , since they're too high no your curve. Wasteland Viper is another questionable card. you would almost always prefer to have a Giant Growth

You probably want to run some Grisly Salvage to fuel your deck, and you might also want some Scavenging Ooze for an efficient early game.

You might also consider running some Nemesis of Mortals who can come out surprisingly early if you're playing Grisly Salvage and/or Commune with the Gods

Hey there, I've playtested a similar build for a while, and gaze of granite doesn't cut it without mana accel. You'll almost always be behind, unable to blow up any relevant 4 or 5 drop threats. Card LOOKS like it fits, but it just doesn't. I'd replace this with Hero's Downfall

Ok, I revamped it a bit. Everything I removed, I put into the "maybe" board. I was thinking about swapping Nemesis of Mortals with Jarad's Orders. Let me know what you think. I really appreciate the help!

Ooze tends to eat up your salvage cards, but can still be a major threat with so many targets in the yard, so I dig running a couple. He also makes your nemesis of mortals suck vs the jarad's orders you had in there.

If you DO have orders, I'd run 1x Kalonian Hydra. That, plus corpsejack menace, is a 'deal with it or lose' scenario. Not a big fan of slitherhead, I do like Experiment One instead though. Oh, and try to fit one last Elvish Mystic

I would cut two giant growths to make this happen, running one is great, and people always think you have more in hand once they see it.

for the record, Scavenging Ooze also targets your opponent's graveyard.

My big thing about Slitherhead is, if I get him and lotleth troll in my hand, that's +2+2 for lotleth automatically(Discard for +1+1 and then scavenge for +1+1). That plus corpsejack and it's a cheap trample/regen guy. I'll make some changes and try to fit in the Hydra plus one more Mystic.

Yeah, understandable with the synergy with corpsejack and troll. Exp 1 has more or less the same synergy, just different application. Either way, lemme know how the deck fairs. Looks pretty solid.
