Replace the {Garruk Relentless}'s with {Garruk, primal hunter}, he makes 3/3's as opposed to 2/2's and 1/1's, also his ult makes a crap ton of 6/6's

I understand he makes "bigger" tokens but {garruk relentless}s ultimate makes more sense with all my tokens plus his tokens have death touch.

That much makes sense, but with {Garruk, primal hunter}, his ult pretty much says "you will win".  Only once or twice have I popped that ult and lost. Also, from my experience with tournament play, {Garruk Relentless} rarely ever sees a flipped ult. Requiring him to go down to 1-2 loyalty is very risky, as he dies to pretty much any direct damage or a mass attack. And when comparing 3/3's to 1/1's with deathtouch, the 3/3s win out IMO. Plus, in a pinch, he draws you cards.
Even if you manage to ultimate {Garruk relentless}, you don't have many creatures to be in your GY, as you are very token based

Also his ult is actually quite counter-intuitive because of all your tokens. You will probably find it tough ultimate for more the. X=1-2

IMHO {Garruk, Primal Hunter} is mainly good for his draw power. And it id only useful if you run big creatures.

With intangible virtues, you can draw 4 from his tokens from his +1

I guess what scares me is his trip green requirement. And I can't believe I missed the GY requirement for his ultimate.

So proxied out a few cards I need to get but the deck ran pretty good in test runs. Was over runnning board by turn 4-5 with pumped tokens.
