^agreed

Seems like a good setup but it looks like a couple of your suggested cards are not standard.

All of them are standard

Which ones aren't?

4 {Arbor Elf}
4 {Primordial Hydra}
3 {Garruk Primal Hunter}
Are these re-printed to make them standard? According to their symbols, they look to be out of standard. I'm still somewhat a noob to this game :)

And one other thing, I wanted to keep the {Door to Nothingness} and {Chromatic Lantern} as alternate game enders which I have won with in this deck. Is it possible to include these in this build? Can you be over 60 cards in Standard format?

Those cards were reprinted in m13

And including those cards throws your mana curve off

Because since its all green, there is no need for lantern and somberwald provides he best 3 drop to ramp ino turn 3-4 giant guys

And most decks run 60 cause anything over is honestly too slow to keep up wih he current meta

Aaahh, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that for me Mothaelon! Should I run another {Worldspine Wurm} since a few of my bigger creatures were removed? Also, would it be worth keeping the 2X {Ring of Kalonia}?

2 would be all you need, a third would cause an early game dead cArd

And the ring would be answered way too easily and wouldn't provide much in the way of synergy

The ring wouldn't be a bad sideboard honestly

Thanks everyone for the suggestion on a better build and helping me to understand this game a bit more. I have almost all the cards you suggested and am very excited to give this revision a go at my local FNM tournament. I'll keep ya posted on how it fares against the competition :D

Seek the Horizon isn't standard

Oh, my bad then haha

So, I have almost everything. Would you suggest running 1 or 2 {Door to Nothingness}? Would I run 62 cards then? Also, I see you recommended running 3x {Garruk, Primal Hunter}'s but from what I read you cant have more than 1 of the same plainswalkers out at the same time. Is having 3 in the deck for better draw rate?

Just forget door, it's really not great

And most of the time, you would use him for his -3 as soon as he hits so you can draw knowing you have a big guy on the board

I really hate to get rid of the door but I see your point. Anyone else have any other suggestions to beef this deck up?

After going over the build a few times, this deck has really no defense against flying. Any suggestions to help this?

Sideboard {eaten by spiders} or {crushing vines} or {plummet}

Since I have 4x {Somberwald Sage}'s, would a {Jace, Architect of Thought} or {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} work in this deck?

Somberwald is for creatures only
