I would play something closer to this personally. Dryad Arbor is too good with GSZ to omit and Lead the Stampede is too weak and durdly. I would play more mana elves and more amazing 3 drops. Nature's Lore is weak when you want to power out 3 drops. Play mana dorks or Wild Growths instead.
Do you own any Swords of X and Y? Like any at all. They're soooooooooooo good in these kinds of decks.
I have the new sword in my mono white deck. Bah it wasn't supposed to be lead the stampede.. it was supposed to be the better overrun. My bad. Lol.
Overrun is very bad. If you have 3-4 creatures in play then you're probably easily winning. The reason why Swords are good is because they're very good even if you're just topdecking into threats because you ate a ton of removal. And, obviously, they're also very good when you have a ton of dudes in play. That is, they're good when you're ahead OR behind. Overrun is only good when you're ahead and probably winning anyways. That's what makes Swords so powerful in this type of shell. Your only real weakness is Wrath effects but mana dorks and Swords destroy Control strategies since every spell you play becomes a massive threat.
Grafted Wargear maybe? It's pretty much the same thing. Turn 1 Elf/Dryad Arbor into a turn 2 Wargear is a big game and I mean it's going to make anything you play scary as all Hell.
Rancor would work too. It's very good on Oozes/Dungroves/Thrun but I mean it's worse on Elves since spot removal in response "gets you." It's still good though.
I could get wargear, and I am looking for a deck to throw my rancors in, the plan was side board them anyway.
Rancor seems like a card that you would always MD and sideboard out against creatureless Control decks. No real reason to SB it when it's good in basically every MU except 1.
