This seems to be a liable use of the dryad actually! Btw check out the infinite counter combo you can use with blue

It's the only way to use Dryad! Splash Green ONLY for Dryad, unless you have multicolored spells. No other mono-green spells though. What is the infinite-counter combo???

That combo is not reliable because you need to ultimate a planeswalker for it, an it is extremely hard to ultimate a planeswqlker in caseyou didn't know.

Using a PW's Ulty is a VERY rare thing, I've been running {Liliana of the Veil} since she was released and I've used her Ulty twice in competitive play. On top of that most of the decks I use for Standard have a PW or three in 'em. They are very hard to Crack indeed.

I like the potential of this deck for simic to make it explode. I myself am super excited about simic and possible UG merfolk. If they make anything like the cards in this set simic will be stronger.

Dude, Gatecrash is going to be so epic! Sure RTR is going to be tons of fun... But Gatecrash is when we get the REAL guilds! Orzhov? Boros? Simic? Dimir? And Gruul is meh, but the other four are my favorite color combos! Rakdos is disappointing so far to be honest. Sick spells, but the Creatures are so weak compared to the rest of this insane set! I want to see a {Glimpse the Unthinkable} reprint! I have my playset ready!!! I already have a Mill decklist just in case!

Its not a pw combo...
Search forr "Boom giant" and you'll find my deck utilizing the infinite combo that CAN make a dryad infinitly huge

Too much Green, the only green I'll run in this deck is {Quirion Dryad}. Although I do agree with you.

{Syncopate} seems pretty boss.

Fixed the sideboard and took it to 24 lands. I used to love running 22 Lands, but 24 seems a lot more consistent, especially if at least 2 of them are Utility Lands!

Here's how to get a super big dryad, no ultimate necessary.

{archeomancer}, {gilded lotus}, and {ghostly flicker}

Awesome if you have talrand out too
