It actually jumped the day after it was officially unbanned in modern, because there's totally not any better alternatives. *cough*Lingering Souls*cough*
No land grant? Isn't it hard to keep sacrificing forests when you have only 12?
I'd also run elvish spirit guide instead of chrome mox/lotus petal since it can't be countered.
It okay to not run tarmogoyf since the nonbo with dryad militant
, but you need to have some pump like giant growth to be able to kill the opponent's one, otherwise you'll just keep loosing your creatures until you run out of steam.
Land Grant could be a possible choice.
ESG over Lotus Petal definetely.
A pump spell could possibly be used.
You may want to look to the infect builds for card selection or simply to go a different route. 10 poison is generally faster then 20 damage. Some food for thought.
Legacy Infect is a fun deck, but this wants to be aggro more than combo-y. For instance, VG doesn't run pumps.
Replace Albino Troll with Tarmogoyf.
Put Nimble Mongoose somewhere in there (best mono-Green aggro one drop you can play). Since you're not running Green Sun's Zenith (which is probably the right call), you should consider replacing Leyline of the Void with Grafdigger's Cage as it hates on GSZ decks as well. Also Werebear is another good 2-drop (ramps and beats).
Tarmogoyf doesn't work in the deck, only things going into the grave are Lotus Petals, which is too inconsistent. Same things with Nimble Mongoose and Werebear. Grafdigger's Cage could be good
MGA is a deck I came up with to deal with my Tempo and Midrange heavy meta. It's blazing fast, and has good matchups VS. Delver, Jund, and Stoneblade. Here's the deck:
Rogue Elephant - A 3/3 for 1 with what is a pretty minor drawback for us.
Scythe Tiger - Very similar to Elephant except with 1 less toughness and doesn't die to targeted removal. My favorite of the two.
Albino Troll - Only 2 drop in the mainboard. 3/3 for 2 that can block (nearly) anything all day long.
Chrome Mox - It's a mox that taps for green, what's not to love?
Lotus Petal - Originally had Diamond here, but I don't draw enough land for that to work and it was a non-bo with the Elephants. This is the replacement!
Forest - I would prefer swamps, but these seem to work better.
Pithing Needle - Deal with pesky planeswalkers and combo pieces!
Hello! I was thinking of a possible new deck that I could test when I thought of Death's Shadow. The card is very interesting, and has some interesting interactions. Then in came in Phyrexian Dreadnought and Stifle, which is just value. I then decided on a UB Tempo deck that has a lot of value. This is what I came up with.
Tomstalker is a nice card, seeing as it hates out Goyf and gives us a nice 5/5 body that flies. We have a lot of cards that make us lose life, the highlight of which is Bitterblossom. Lose life AND get mini fliers? Yes please! The rest of the card choices should be simple, except for the land in the SB. I side that in when I side in the extra Liliana of the Veil or True-Name Nemesis so that I can more consistently get 3 lands.
Thoughts?
This thread should be pretty self-explanatory, however I shall explain!
Ever had a funny experience in magic, or a funny magic related experience? Then post your story here for all to see!
For example, I once was testing a GB Aggro deck on Cockatrice, and was playing against an opponent playing a Fish/LandStill mix. My opponent had a Standstill out and cast Cursecatcher. I then proceeded to draw 3 cards and say "Please sacrifice your Standstill." He replied with" No no, only I can sacrifice my standstill." I sat there for a moment and then said "But you cast a spell, meaning Standstill gets sacrificed and I draw 3." They sat there for a couple seconds and then replied with "F*** you," and left.
So either we're gonna play later or our game is off
Edit: We're playing now, so if you wanna watch the pass is Koopa.
Edit: Dresden and I played a very tense 3 game match. Thought I was gonna lose multiple times. But I guess I just got lucky! Good games to Dresden, hope you have better luck next time. I won 2-1.
This card is not standard playable. Possibly Standard Pauper, but I doubt that as well. It'll probably be an okay heroic enabler in draft. Would've liked another Savannah Lion, seeing as Standard Pauper doesn't have any and it would've been better as a 2/1.
I think this card is pretty tight. It'll probably make RG Aggro more popular, and might see play in Naya/Jund. 4/4 trampler for 3 is bery nice, and a 3/3 haster for 3 is also nice so it all depends on possible answers. Overall nice card
Value Green.

Dryad Militant - 2/1 for 1 that hates flashback, Snapcaster, and Dredge.
Tattermunge Maniac - Probably my least favorite creature in the deck, but being a 2/1 for 1 with practically no drawback is pretty good.
Wild Dogs - This is a slight upgrade to Manic. Out opponent will usually not have more life than us. Cycling is also nice.
Ghazban Ogre - A Wild Dogs with no cycle but a little bit more toughness.
Nettle Sentinel - A 2/2 for 1 with practically no drawback.
Pouncing Jaguar - Another 2/2 for 1 with an ignorable drawback.
Skyshroud Ridgeback - A 2/3 for 1 with an ignorable drawback.
Rogue Elephant - A 3/3 for 1 with what is a pretty minor drawback for us.
Scythe Tiger - Very similar to Elephant except with 1 less toughness and doesn't die to targeted removal. My favorite of the two.

Nature's Claim - Deal with Affinity and Enchantress!
Dismember - Kill dudes!
Spellskite - Deal with burn!
Leyline of the Void - Grave hate!

Well if you didn't fulfill all the requirements set on the first page you would not be added to the bracket, so yeah.
