I have never really played standard, and was wanting to get into competitive play, only problem is... I don't know how legal or illegal in better words my deck is.
Also: I'm looking for two replacement cards for Thelon of Havenwood. The only time I find her ability useful is if I have over 20 tokens on Mycoloth, and that's very rare.
The deck: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/fungus-overload/
you have three cards currently legal... Rampant Growth , Forest , and Swamp

Err, I posted the same question on... 3 sites, and each person says it's legal, but it's a Legacy deck.

yes, legacy, but you stated you wanted to be competing in standard unless i misunderstood.

You aren't really going to be able to do a Fungus deck in Standard, the cards just don't exist in that scope.
However, that doesn't mean you can't play in Legacy competitions.

Standard uses cards from the most recent two block sets and the intervening core sets. Right now, that means that Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, M11, Scars of Mirrodin, Mirrodin Besieged, New Phyrexia, and M12 are all standard-legal.
Standard rotates once per year with the release of the new block set in late September or October. Innistrad will be that set this year, and releases on September 30. Rotation means that the oldest currently-legal block set and core set become illegal in standard. With the rotation this year, Scars of Mirrodin, Mirrodin Besieged, New Phyrexia, M12, and Innistrad will all be legal, while the Zendikar-block will become illegal.
In addition, there is a ban-list for Standard. Currently, Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Stoneforge Mystic are banned in Standard.

Casual decks are the best! You are going to have to build an entirely new deck for Standard however.
