MTG Salvation

This is a creature based ramp deck using a ton of creatures to abuse Karametra, God of Harvests ability. It is more or less a GW good stuff deck. It is made to function without Karametra, but the acceleration she provides can be insane. The deck is built with a slight budget in mind, but there are a few expensive cards in the list, so I didn't want to consider it a budget deck. I originally built this and then turned it into a Teneb, the Harvester deck, but I decided to rebuild it to help introduce my mom back into my EDH playgroup. She only has a great Kaalia of the Vast deck, but it immediately gets hated on due to its power. I figured this would be a powerful deck to build for her without any complicated interactions.

META NOTE: My playgroup heavily frowns upon playing combos, poison, and mass land destruction. Every deck we build, we try to prevent the possibility of it going infinite, winning with infect damage, or destroying a ton of lands. I know a lot of players who do enjoy these strategies, but I believe that excluding them provides for more interesting games.

The new Nissa would be good. I'm thinking of building Karametra next but unsure what direction to go.

I don't know how I feel about new Nissa. There's too many board wipes in my meta and I'd rather not lose the lands I'm grabbing. With such a high curve, I feel like losing any lands would be a real pain for me.

The other +1 untapping forests doesn't hurt.

My only problem with using Nissa for ramp is her card type. I'd prefer to have creature based ramp in this deck so that if Karametra is out I can get a 2-for-1 ramp spell.
