However: Reaper and Traproot just seem to be there whenever they are useless to me and I have never been happy to see one in my hand.
On Earlier Posting: Black Poplar Shaman is quite useful, keep it. Also, take a look at the "Gnarles Barkley" Primer from a while back on competetive Doran EDH.
Traproot Kami ended up not doing much in this deck this past week. I made some changes such as putting Gravity Well in for some cards I haven't had yet. The game was 4-0 for the night with one ffa and 3 2v2 matches. Timber Protector was a beast as well as Heartwood storyteller in team play! So, now I'm wondering what to replace Traproot with. I'm deciding between adding an infect creature such as Reaper of Sheoldred for an alternate infect win or something else such as Gravity Well for combattin gcreatures with flying. Also, Rancor would go nice in any deck but since it adds to attack power, not sure if it's worth it. Harrow is another option for land gathering.
This deck has won about 10% of it's games so far. Getting big trees out with protection over them has been great. It seems it's a little slow starting up, mainly due to the draws I've been getting with this deck. Any recommendatioins are still appreciated!
Trying to update the deck some, tried putting Ornithopter and Birds of Paradise in to combine with Slagwurm Armor for big fliers but hasn't turned out yet. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I've made several changes to this deck and am looking for further suggestions or anything I'm missing. Also, if there's any big treefolk I'm forgetting to plug into this deck. I think I weeded out a lot of the weak ones. One I am still hesitant on is Heartwood Storyteller due to it helping everyone.
The most key card that you are missing from this deck is one my friend plays. It's the most evilest card when mixed with Doran and Slagwurm armor........Priests of Norn
As a fun proponent of the deck, try out Tower Defense.
I'm not a fan of Shizo, Death's Storehouse here - only one legend for it.
Unless you regularly encounter large enchantments, Aura Mutation can go.
What all are you transmuting Dimir Machinations for? Is it really worth a slot?
Cheers!
My reason for including Shizo, Death's Storehouse is that with Doran, I notice a lot of chump blocking so this is an easy way to give Doran a way of evasion. I should probably put a Urborg, Tomb Of Yawgmoth in here as well. I think Aura Mutation will come out and maybe Silverblade Paladin could be worth a slot in here. The reason I put Dimir Machinations in here is to transmute for Doran. When Doran either gets oblated or condemned, it effects this deck a lot because a lot of my creatures are very low power. This gives me a great way to tutor for him. Another card I am considering is Gift of the Deity but it's mana cost is so much! Please keep the suggestions going!!!

I actually have Tower Defense in here! It is awesome and took place of Solidarity when I found out about this card!
I try not to do infect packages because my group really frowns on any one using infect. For example, I think Blightsteel Colossus is the one of the dumbest cards in EDH
That is a pretty nasty thing you could do if you wanted to do an infect package. Priests of Norn and Reaper of Sheoldred could both be very nasty
So after playing this a number of times in my playgroup, it seems to be struggling very hard in late game. Some changes I am thinking of making is adding Gift of the Deity and Nature's Lore. I also think some trample or unblockable artifacts could be handy in this deck.
I believe I will add Vigor back to this deck as I realize how good he is now that he is gone.
One card that just hasn't done anything for me, even though I hate removing this is Slagwurm Armor
Any suggestions would be very helpful as well as anything from the new M15 set. Thanks!!!
I have a Doran, the Siege Towerdeck that I am having a lot of fun with right now and I run some different cards that you may want to take a look at. A few tutor effects would probably help the deck out. Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor are never bad choices. Chord of Calling is also pretty useful due to being an instant. A few more recursion options might be handy such as Regrowth and Eternal Witness (not a treefolk but is a shaman to be somewhat thematic). I also think Merciless Eviction is a must have sweeper card in any deck that can run it. I would also add Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite as an honorary treefolk.
I also use a different equipment suite consisting of Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of Light and Shadow and Umezawa's Jitte. I have found it a relatively useful and versatile equipment suite. I'm not a big fan of auras unless you plane to go big on the aura's as they do not stick around like equipment. I'm not sure how necessary the mass protect enchants like Privileged Position are as I have had few games where many of my treefolk targeted by spot removal. Some trample enablers may also be helpful to you, as your creatures do not have much in the way of evasive capabilities. A few good trample enablers are Nylea, God of the Hunt and Primal Rage. Trample is especially good if you have a Vault of the Archangel around.

Great suggestions! I'll make some adjustments and post up a new list on Monday. AS far as Lignify, I'm always a little hesitant due to whatever I enchant, it becomes a 4/4 beater with Doran out. I guess as long as he is swinging it other ways, it wouldn't be terrible though. I'll make some of the suggestions though and put up a new list. Thanks for all the help!
Okay, I now understand your hesitance to run Lignify. Though, if you're playing in teams, it'll turn a teammate's weenie or token into a 4/4 beater ;).

Ok updated my deck some. I added the swords as well as a few of the other suggestions. I do have a Sylvan Scrying coming in the mail that will likely replace Cultivate. I also have a Umezawa's Jitte and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite coming too that I need to replace something in here with. I honestly think Silklash Spider is way too good in this deck to cut in that it's a 7/7 creature with Doran out and kills flyers. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I'm taking out Cultivate for Sylvan Scrying just so I can target a lot of my lands that I couldn't target with other abilities as told in the previous suggestion. I'm also taking out Lightning Greaves for Umezawa's Jitte . Just seems like a fun card to try out from the previous suggestion. I love lightning greaves so if anyone has any other suggestions on what to take out I'm fair game. Also, trying to figure out what to take out to allow Hunter's Insight to be put in this deck. Could bring a huge card draw to the table with Doran out. Part of me is thinking maybe I should swap out Oblation for Hunter's Insight. I do not see the bonus of brining an exile effect instead of Deglamer. Deglamer seems too good to take out at the moment. As always, thank you for all the help!
Just looking through the deck, I am going to take out Dimir Machinations for Hunter's Insight I believe the card draw will be a lot better than a one time tutor for Doran. Dimir is nice because it is an uncounterable tutor but I do not think it's worth a whole card slot. Again, any suggestions are appreciated!
Chameleon Colossus is always good for something to constantly keep your opponents on their toes and to spend your extra mana on. He may get chump blocked quite often but he'll take out an opponent's creature every turn and when memorial is out, it will be a one hit kill probably. Nemata, Grove Guardian is another good one to use your extra mana on continuously and he's just classic along with verdeloth the ancient.
I just took out Oblation for Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. The main reason is I got a good deal on one but also in my group there is a goblin deck and elf deck that is run constantly that I could use elesh with. Oblation's 2 card draw is pretty damaging so I took it out. I think I will be looking at getting Nemata, Grove Guardian due to her effect with Verdeloth and elesh, I will probably replace Orchard Warden with this. Either that or take out Krosan Tusker For some reason, I just have never like Chameleon Colossus, not sure why because I know it's a 8/8 easily. Maybe further convincing could get me to switch him in.
Was looking through the new origins set and I am not closing in on any that work well with Doran. I haven't upgraded this deck in awhile and am due for suggestions! I'm still looking through the new sets to find some replacments to upgrade this deck! Any help would be appreciated!

On the flavor end of things, there aren't any new treefolk cards, but Whisperwood Elemental comes close.
And after going through the rest of this thread I'm suprised no one has mentioned Ensnaring Bridge.
