So, actually the card I think has the most potential for Green Devotion from m19 is Dryad Greenseeker. I run 3 Elvish Visionary in my most successful version of Green Devotion, and it's possible that this guy could replace him. But ultimately, unless I can reliably reveal the top card to make sur e I hit everytime I wouldn't want to substitute it. In the Topdeck Matters versions, this guy could definitely fit nicely.

Looking forward to it. Would you like to post a link to your stream?
I can't post a link as its solicitation. I guess being a global I should follow the rules. I go by CuboneUlka on twitch so feel free to search me. Otherwise Im working on getting my video worked on so I can post it on youtube, in which I will link it
I have plaied some more matches with Huntmaster of the Fells, and Im not sure how I actually feels about him now, I dont think hes that good of a fit in Anthonys build, Im going to try wolfbrair elemental now, as he could play a similar role as hornet queen does along with garruk as a finisher
I have been running my build with 2x Wolfbriar Elemental and it has really been quite strong. I know the argument is that if you have 10 mana you likely want something stronger...but a 4/4 and six 2/2's will still finish the game on the following turn. Thus far I've really liked the card...but I'm a sucker for mana-sinks
My problem with Huntmaster is getting him to flip once without getting blasted. Venerable Monk is not a card I'd play, and that's what it feels like to have the opponent immediately cast Bolt.
Man my game tonight were abysmal as Lord_darkview can attest to. Mulliganing was my biggest issue tonight on MTGO and that paired with a couple misplays lead to a 1-4 league.
Yeah, those games went pretty roughly. You made a few misplays, but I don't think any that I saw would have actually changed the outcome. I feel like this meta is just really unfavorable right now.
I'm looking at coming back to this deck and having some fun with it again. I've currently got the mono-green version with the Eternal Witness/Primal Command with Craterhoof finish. Looks like the deck is still in use but a lot of variants.
What's been the most consistent list that's been run recently in the current meta? For example I'm seeing some lists running Oath of Nissa/Summoners Pact which I assume has taken over Harmonize/Primal Command in the deck.
Harmonize is pretty uncommon these days. There are a few different builds. Some still center on Command loops, others on Pact toolboxes, and a few others on PW synergies or grindy creatures like Tracker.
I'm on Pact myself, though I have a soft spot for Eternal-Command builds.
I'm running a temur sabertooth for acidic slime and eternal witness in a pact toolbox. Might just be a win more button. Unfortunately the deck is a tad too inconsistent for what I'm looking for. Too often I just draw the wrong half of the deck.
Those were my experiences. If your meta is slow though, the power of Temur Sabertooth with Witness or Slime (or Atarka or Hornet Queen) can be simply dominant.
I updated my recent post on the Mirrorweave plus Primalcrux build I posted to make it easier to understand. Essentially it is Primalcrux and Khalni Hydra plus Fungal Sprouting and Mirrorwaave as the Overrun on Steroids.
Match 3: 0-2 vs. Mono-Green Tron
Game 1 I got crushed. I almost took game two after getting milled to 3 cards by Ulamog but I drew a forest instead of the Garruk I needed to draw to take the game.
Match 4: 1-2 vs. W/U Control
Game 1 I had mana but no payoff. I lost when Azor hit the table. Game 2 I locked him at 3 lands with Eternal Witness + Primal Command. Game 3 he grabbed my Kiora’s Follwer with Spell Queller and killed me with it while countering every spell I played.
Final Thoughts: Hornet queen and lightning bolt were absolute all-stars against humans. I’m wondering if I shouldn’t be bringing in the bolts against storm to kill Baral and Electromancer. Thoughts? I’m thinking about getting some Autumn’s Veil for my sideboard. Has anyone had any good experience with that card?
Hey guys I wanted to leave my latest Devotion list here, Its kind of a Hybrid strategy between Ponza and Devotion. Has a tool box using eldritch evolution. So far i've really liked its performance.
SO there seems to be a lot of talk about unbanning Green Sun's Zenith. I'm not sure how I feel about that unbanning, but it would be great for Green Devotion. I'm fairly certain it would be replacing pacts.

Im happy they didn’t unban GSZ. I am not a fan of unbanning it. I know it would help us more than probably any other deck in Modern. I just fear it would lead to homogenization of green decks (as everyone would play it... being able to play any green creature for only one extra mana AND putting it back in the deck would lead to a lot of similar green “toolbox” decks in my fears).
Of course, it would be huge for us...so part of me would be really happy too
On mtggoldfish was a Against the Odds episode around Timesifter. Seth had using the miracle shell and my only thoughts was that Courser of Kruphix would be incredibly good with that card and with our ramp it is a early castable aaaand we have a lot cards to manipulate or to see the top of the library.

Turn 3 Timesift cast and (properly) a lot more turns in turn 4. Had anyone search for a Fun-Devotion-build ?
I don't like 2 Leyline cause it can be hard to cast without opening hand. Fracturing Gust also destroy our stuff. Firesprout is better against Humans.
I'm thinking how the deck perform against aggro stuff, like Burn, Affinity, or even Vizir Combo.
Burn if You don't have Worship will be hard. Affinity you must cast Worship or Corrosion. Vizir you can't stop the combo if they are fast.

Maybe. But at that point, you're probably on cards like Courser, which do the job anyway right?
