What're people's thoughts on Vivien's Arkbow? Seems useful for mid-late game filtering.

Pelt Collector and Experiment One work perfectly fine next to each other. But I usually end up boarding at least one Pelt Collector out. I personally prefer Experiment One. But opponents usually tend to remove the Pelt Collector first if thet have the choice between both, even before the regeneration clause gets relevant. So in my own opinion the experiment is the stronger one for sure, but opponents seem to judge it different.
The difference between Feed the Clan and Life Goes on is something I cannot judge at the moment. The reason I plaz them both as one of is because I want to find out which one feels better. But for a final decission I need more games.
Grafdiggers is there as a singleton as it can work next to relic, while also occasionally annoying coco decks.
The only other thing I can add is that I would for sure replace the Hashep Oasis with Horizon Canopy if I had the budget. And that I'll probably cut a Pelt Collector for a Wasteland Viper to have an additional pseudo removal spell.
For the decision between Feed the Clan and Life Goes On, I've had more success with Life Goes On because it's just easier to find situations where creatures die. The extra 2 life isn't much of a difference in most scenarios, and being one mana cheaper is relevant in Stompy due to the low land count and desire to keep our CMCs and curve low.

I use all 4 Gardens because of the 10 fetches, and also because all my interaction is white. I like having more than just two white mana available if I need it that won't ping me for using it. Life hasn't been too much of an issue for me. I only have 3 Militants and I'm too lazy to get another, plus from my experience I've haven't been put up against decks that often that're casting a ton of spells from the grave beyond Dredge and they're mainly creatures. Heroic prolly should go in side, but Vines of Vastwood has done nothing for me so far and I'd prefer to have something for two mana that does more than just pumping and hexproofing. I really do want more card draw because I find myself running out of things to play.

Went 2-1 last Friday with the below list. Won against UR Phoenix and Dredge, lost against Jund. My match against Jund did end in a 1-2, managed to steal a game using Aspect of Hydra on my Treetop Village. As for wins, I overwhelmed Dredge game one with a tidal wave of stompies, game 2, he overwhelmed me with dredges, game 3, I shut him down with one Rest in Peace. I got a lot of Bridgevine pieces from my UMA box but this is the main reason why I'm not going to build it. Not a fan of decks that get halted by one card until they find an answer.
I'm currently visiting family so I don't have most of my cards on me, but I'm definitely changing out the sideboard a bit. I never find myself in matchups where I desperately need Teeg in my main, so I'm probably going to swap him for some extra graveyard hate, prolly some Tormod's Crypt or Grafdigger's Cage. I might also swap out the Commands for some Knight of Autumn. In addition, one of the big issues I had was running out of things to play; I'm mulling over the idea of adding Ripjaw Raptor in main or Shapers' Sanctuary in the side. Also thinking of replacing Vines in main with Heroic Intervention because of board wipes.
Overall had a great time with Stompy and was easy enough to play even while jet lagged. Here's to my next FNM this week~

Here's my attempt at making a minimal white splash stompy. Also wondering if Razorverge Thicket can replace the last two fetches of ten since Zendikar fetches are $$$. Also based on cards I already own.
