I'm not too sure with Chord just yet. It's a great card, but I don't have enough "value" creatures in this build to want it. Maybe as a one-of for now, but we have to see if we're getting at least another big green fatty.
You could drop the blossoms for Kiora. I'm not sure Blossoms is playable outside of a deck completely built around it. Kiora on the other hand plays well with Genesis Hydra, nets cards, and ramps.
Tuskers were taken out in favor of Caryatid since I can't always rely having Nykthos in the early game. Colossus could make its way back in.
I only made the change to have Blossoms in the deck since I like the card draw. With 12 enablers it works out fairly well next to Genesis Hydra and Garruk. Still, Kiora's not a bad idea if I splash blue.
Nessian Game Warden would help you draw into more creatures with the large amount of forests played in this deck. Bow of Nylea provides more green devotion, triggers constellation from your Eidolon of Blossoms, and makes combat much tougher for your opponent. You could also play Voyaging Satyr to untap your Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
I was looking at Tuskers vice Burning-tree. Yes BTE ramps out devotion but you are lacking cards that take advantage of of them. Tuskers have a relevant body with carytids being staple and weenie aggro decks on the rise.
I'm actually looking at playing something along these lines once RTR rotates especially if a board wipe doesn't make it's way in to the first Khan set.
I'd put in also some Soul of New Pirrexia and splash black for Abrupt Decay and Golgari Charm.
Lately I've found the latter very useful as it's a wrath against Elspeth and master of waves tokens, protects our creatures from verdict (if we don't have yet soul on line) and most of all gets rid of Banishing Light, underworld connections and any enchantment creature.
I wonder if playing Verdant heaven to maximise Nissa's ability is wise or just win-more

I didn't really like Chord as a huge number because I had little to search for without using it for an obscene number. Generally Turn 3 Xenagos into Turn 4 Nissa/Garruk/Soul of NP is when the deck gets nuts.
Now I am huge fan of mono green devotion so you guys knew I was going to make a deck based on new cards.
Now my list is already taking into account stuff that is going to rotate out. I love me some Burning-Tree Emissaries but I want to get used to playing a mono green devotion deck without them.
So and before anyone says WHY NO Coursers. I love coursers, I do not however love Coursers in Mono Green Devotion. The past 3 months I have been playing the deck without them because they do one thing I do not need which is slow down my deck turn 2. I counstantly would avoid ramping to 5 mana on turn 3 because I would play a courser over a mana dork. In the long run, that cost me a lot of games. My exclusion is not for budgetary reasons.
To be Honest I want to find a 2 drop to replace Reverent Hunter, and might go with Swordwise Centuar. But the deck is pretty straight forward. Less Comboish depending on Nykthos, Pookie, an Garruk, and more just play great creatures, that can get me value in other ways in my Favorite new Card for Green
Life's Legacy - Yes I understand it is not instant speed like Momentous fall but this card is going to fill the role I used Garruk for which is basically Card Draw. Which is why cards like Arbor Colossus, Terra Stomper and especially Scuttling Doom Engine are playable in this build. Attack with Terra Stomper, and if you know next turn you are going to get your creature wiped, You cast Life's Legacy, Draw 8 cards, refill your hand. Saccing a Scuttling Doom Engine is basically deal 6 dmg to your opponent, draw 6 cards, which. Its the extra reach this deck needs.
Sideboard Option of Soul of New Phyrexia and Reclamation Sage have me exited as Soul gives us another beater, and a way to protect our creatures, and Reclamtion sage allows us to get rid of Pesky Enchantments such as Banishing Light, Courser of Kruphix, Herald of Torment, and Leaves a body behind adding to devotion.

So far this is what I'm testing out. There is tons of draw power with this build to keep refilling your hand for creatures.
There's room for a splash for black for new Garruk and removal, or blue for Prophet of Kruphix, Prime Speaker Zagana and Cyclonic Rift.
