Im really new to Standard and rarely make green decks, but have gotten real lucky with packs I've won in tournaments so was wondering if you all have any tips.
I got 3 {Thragtusk} 3 {Garruk's Horde} tons of werewolves even 2 {Huntmaster of the Fells} and was thinking of building around these. 2 {Rancor} too. Basically loaded up on everything Dark Ascension to M13, and a bit of sets before so any ideas I can likely do.
Thank you all so much.
Horde is going to rotate in a couple weeks.
Anyways, if you want to go green, make sure you have ramp ({Arbor Elf}, {Llanowar Elves}, {Avacyn's Pilgrim}, etc.). One decision you should make before you build a deck is: where does your mana curve stop? A lot of times it is a good thing to have 5 be your highest CMC, but with ramp it is possible to go higher, like {Elderscale Wurm}.
A good plainswalker for green is {Garruk, Primal Hunter}. When you look at him, it is easy to go nuts about his ultimate. But hos most useful ability is his -3 ability. A great thing to do with him would be to cast garruk on turn 3-4 and do his +1. Then after that cast a big 5 drop creature and do garruk's -3. You draw cards and garruk doesn't die!
Grab a few {dungrove elder} and {predator ooze} If you decide to go mono green
Do you guys think mono green is best? Thinking of going about 70/30, 70% green, 30% red for the Huntmaster, the few good red wolves I have, and some removal, then use like u guys said a lot of MC ramping to have a few Cards like Thragtusk, elderscale Wurm, ones like you guys listed. Pretty unsure. I do have one more Standard tournament before the 10/5 cycling as well.
Do you have dual lands and cacern of souls?
No green/ red dual lands or cavern.
I have {Gilded Lotus}, {Somberwald Sage} cards like that though that I was thinking of using...not sure though
Mono green is one of the strongest mono colors right now, dont taint it's power by attempting dual color without the proper tools.
Well said!
I have a {Rootbound Crag} if you want to give me a {Gilded Lotus} btw. Don't know what they are worth but if mine is worth more I don't mind doing a straight up trade.
Edit: lotus is .50 more. I can throw in some other things

Have 3 more? Maybe check my TB to see if I have more cards to do that. Just saw I only have 1 Llanowar Elves as well so could use 3.
Thanks for the help btw!
At least I can use my Thragtusk, Elderscale, and {primordial hydra} :)
Pm me either way. Very sick so if I don't reply right away just bear w me please.
Posting first attempt now. Mainly to use as a basis to work on
