Most decks which run Devoted Druid as part of a combo run something like Vizier of Remedies. While not Pauper legal, you’d need some type of recursive effect like that in order to turn the Druid into anything more than a worse Llanowar Elves. Unfortunately Sigil of the Nayan Gods just won’t do that, not without some other infinite-creature making combo.
What you could do is splash for Midnight Guard. That would combo into Presence of Gond for infinite creatures. But at that point, Devoted Druid + Sigil of the Nayan Gods is redundant.
The problem arises when you mentioned you’d be facing Tier 1-3 decks at your local LGS. These combos are well known, and any player worth his salt would be packing disruption to get rid of either combo piece. Without them, the deck isn’t powerful enough to stand on its own in any meaningful way.

That last paragraph in your description echoes many of my own thoughts and feelings about this game, where we’ve come from and where we’re headed. I wish I could upvote your profile page lol

@Barbarian_Sun_Pope ha, I could see something like that being the case. Although with the state of the gaming landscape since I originally built this, maybe I should rework it to revolve around Donate

Thanks for posting Imaginary_Friend777. You’re most certainly right, I’m sure. A lot of my decks are thought experiments I try to build around, and oftentimes they’re less performant than they could be. I’ll add those suggestions to the maybeboard for now in case we get some future cards that make this more sustainable.

Thanks capwner, I think a variation would be really effective, yes. More proactive too with all the removal red brings. You should build that next

Thanks leovolt884_, I haven’t seen Myr Kinsmith before. I don’t really keep up with the more recent sets as of late. I’ll maybeboard him for the deck’s eventual tune up.

How’d they get a saddle on that Hippopotamic Landmass?
This is inconceivable!
