My list for Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury. It's currently set up as mono green goodstuff, for lack of a better idea (my playgroup already has an elfball deck with her at the helm). That may change going forward, but it works well enough for now. I've enjoyed the utility she brings from the command zone, and I really like having a planeswalker as my commander.
Suggestions are appreciated, but please keep in mind that I'm not interested in changing the general, though I am open to suggestions about potential strategies I could focus on.
While true, the chances of me using its kicker are essentially zero, it's expensive and can backfire horrendously.
I'll mark it down as try out, if I happen across a copy.
Oh, I agree fully. I think I've only ever used the kicker once, and it was so I could swing for the win. But it's still just a strictly better version, and it's not like it's an expensive replacement.
Also, that's a lot of Garruks. I feel like you'll end up with a dead one in your hand a lot of times. One of them should be a Karn Liberated instead (patches a lot of holes that mono Green has).

As I said, should I come across one or we actually order something online, I'll grab a copy. Unfortunately, there really aren't card stores near by that have an extensive inventory, so it is a matter of actually finding a copy (this happens frustratingly often).

I don't consider them dead cards, even if one is already in play. Planeswalkers die pretty quickly, so I don't expect them to live forever.
If I do add Karn, it would replace a different card, like Primordial Sage for example, who I haven't been impressed with in this particular list.
Edit: To clarify, I did initially include multiple planeswalkers as they work well with Doubling Season. Karn is certainly a potential addition, but I'd rather not dilute what I have unless I absolutely need to in this case.
Nissa, Worlswaker is a potential addition as well, but I won't be obtaining a copy until she sees a significant drop in price, as I'd only really be interested in her untap ability.
This deck is pretty much entirely still in the testing phase, so some of these changes may no be permanent.
I am notoriously bad at remembering to pay my pact costs, and because I often want the tutor without trying to win on the spot, I feel that Worldy Tutor is a better option in most cases. The pact may be added back in if I decide to add another tutor into the deck later.
I'm swapping Ranger's Path for Frontier Siege as a test at the moment. I loved the card in my Sachi list, and I'm hoping it finds a place here as well.
Kodama's Reach is swapping out for Song of the Dryads. I've been looking for a place to fit this and I already have a large amount of ramp in this deck.
Mind's Eye is swapping for Brutalizer Exarch. Mind's Eye doesn't do as much in this deck as it did in my Sachi list, and I really like the flexibility of the Exarch.
Lastly, I'm changing switching Defense of the Heart for Natural Order. I love Defense, and it's a strong card, but it's too easy to disrupt, because it has to trigger at your upkeep.
Suggestions are appreciated, but please keep in mind that I'm not interested in changing the general, though I am open to suggestions about potential strategies I could focus on.
