Intro: This deck is something I have had for a while but with the newer populate mechanic I thought I would revisit it again and make some changes. This is basically token zerg with a cheap general, some control and all the best token generators that I could find. Please let me know if you have any ideas of cards I’m missing.
As a side note, I did try to stick mainly to Soldiers, and saproling tokens whenever it was possible, however; ant queen is just too cheap of a token generator to pass up.
I actually have no critiques atm.... This seems like a really well tuned and competitive deck. I see a lot of synergies and answers for about everything. The one card that I don't see that I normally see in every green deck is Beast Within.
The Main Reason why I don't run Beast within is because I don't want to give my opponents tokens if I can help it. Alot of what I use to pump tokens, helps ALL tokens so I try to stray away from that. But I thank you for the input.
You could run Crib Swap as well. I understand your reasons for not wanting to give them anything -- so feel free to disregard this. Your deck is really solid, and had I put more work into my Rhys deck, I would still be threatened by yours.
I feel Crib Swap is a far better card than Beast Within. In most scenarios, it gives less advantage to the opponent (unless they're playing tribal) and costs the same. It's also open to a branch of tutoring that Beast Within is not.
I can probably think up a couple of things, I'll go over it tomorrow in depth, but what I did see that you are missing and absolutely want is Craterhoof Behemoth... Seriously get it.
Your not the first one to suggest that to me, I'm thinking I could probably pull overrun out for it and try it in this deck. I think it's probably going to be a win when I play it so good suggestion, thank you.
