I very much wanted to get this deck list up so I have an easy reference.
maybe you guys will have a few card ideas to adjust the deck. It's been a bit since I've posted here, hope I'm in the right place. Let's do this.
I don't have much to share about the deck, at the moment. The deck has a few themes I try to keep in mind when selecting cards. Creatures that are triggered by Saplings ability are some obvious places to start looking. A fair few of them have the Shaman typing, which works well with Leaf-Crowned Elder and Aphetto Dredging. Recursion is a major aspect of the deck as well as ramping and making use of the plethora of forest. It wins most often by wiping everyone out with Pestilence, Pestilence Demon, or the Necrotic Ooze. Sometimes the demon can fly in with a few attack, 7 damage is substantial when used with his ability. The deck does have a bit of an evil forest theme to it, and that does seem to matter quite a bit on card choice. Dark Heart of the Wood has saved me a fair few times. It plays well with Life from the Loam and the "playadditionalland" cards to keep you in the game after draining life totals with Pestilnce, Moonlight Bargain, Grim Feast and all that. It's a fun deck overall. Vastly different than the other decks I had been playing a the moment, which was nice.
Thanks! For some reason I was under the impression Scavenging Ooze was somewhat expensive, so when I initially started deck building I eschewed it and never gave it a second thought. It is strictly better in the deck though, as it works with Aphetto Dredging. The Ghoul is only a pant zombie which doesn't pair with anything else I think.
Blighted Woodland is cool. I haven't picked one up yet but it's definitely going in here. I really like the Blighted Black-ManaBlighted Fen card from that cycle as well.
I really like Reach of Branches, I've never seen that before. I'll have to make a spot for it.
Same with the Rootgrapple. I have no idea why I've neglected to pick that up.
Those are some really cool card choices, thank you!

creekwood ghoul doesnt seem very good. at least compared to scavenging ooze.
blighted woodland seems ok and extremely on theme
i would also consider rootgrapple. you have enough synergy with it that it seems good enough. maybe reach of branches too
...i love treefolk
Blighted Woodland is cool. I haven't picked one up yet but it's definitely going in here. I really like the
Blighted Black-ManaBlighted Fen card from that cycle as well.I really like Reach of Branches, I've never seen that before. I'll have to make a spot for it.
