I thought it'd be cool to have big creatures smashing stuff up, a bit of burn, green to ramp mana...but boy it just loses all the time. Mainly I think because I'm playing against my Teysa deck that has TONS of creature removal. but even still I just don't ever seem to DRAW lots of creatures. And getting the mana requirements. OI
For starters, your acceleration needs to be a lot faster. I'd look at a Mana Elves package, basically include every dork for one mana who taps for mana.
I'd also look at making your fatties a bit higher impact. There's a lot of really random dudes on this list who could certainly be replaced with more svelte options.
Also, why Johan? Marath seems like a better option.

OK I'll try and add more mana dorks. I don't have that many but I do know I see them in the unsorted at my local.
These are, unfortunately, the best green/red/white beaters I've got @_@. I have a seraph aaaaand...soome random others. Yea I just need to look and find more I guess.
first course more mana dorks. Johan was just because that's all I had that I found interesting. Could also do Viashivan Dragon and cut white?
Ok, again, a huge part of your problem is your general. Your general is an amazing resource that defines your deck. Your deck doesn't do anything because Johan doesn't do anything. If you want a big beefy naya general, play Uril, the Miststalker, and if you want to play a fast paced aggro/combo deck, play Marath. If you want to kick teeth in, drop the white and try Xenagos, God of Revels
Not to mention, that most of your bombs are pretty underwhelming. Arbor Colossus could just be Primeval Titan, Inferno Titan, or even Sigarda.
I remember writing back to this but I guess it got lost in the webs.
I agree, Johan is kind of worthless. But I don't have Marath. I might pick him up in that prebuilt commander deck. It's just all I had.
I know my creatures could be better, but this is what I have! I need suggestions for things to look out for when looking through the unsorted boxes at my local. I need ideas of cards that exist that I don't know about that would work in a green/red/white commander deck. So I need a new general. I guess he comes first before any of the cards so I'll hold off for a while and see what happens.
I do like the Green/Red idea because it's simpler and I could just use viashivan dragon as my commander. But he's just a dude too and doesn't do anything. Even Uril just gets super big if you have lots of auras.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and use marath, will of the wild as a commander and pck up that prebuilt. Theres a alot of helpful cards in there that I think I can supplement some of my own with. A wrath of God and a sol ring; a lot of those lands will help, the behemoth sledge and ajani's pridemate I actually need for another deck so... It's got a lot of beefy creatures that are much more useful than the ones I've got.

Are there any of mine that you can think of keeping? I definitely am gonna keep Multani, Maro-Sorcerer, desolation giant, Fangren Pathcutter, hunted troll, Archetype of Endurance, banisher priest, and probably flowstone overseer because it's target creature! But we'll see. A lot of the cards in the prebuilt are...well better @_
ugh, warstorm surge. I've beenmeaning to order more conjurer's closet lately...
