Oh. Almost forgot. The point of the deck is to play aggressive green creatures and clear a path for them with your white creatures

The idea is good but plays better off the jund colors vs green wht.
Lotleth troll, dreg mangler, hellrider, experiment one, with removal like abrup decay, searing spear, tragic slip.

Most of fast JUND is rotating out.

Hellrider and stromkirk. That's all your really losing after rotation. Olivia, thragtusk, and aristocrat are mid range jund not aggro jund

Hellrider, aristo, flinthoof, stromkirk (even though you could just use experiment one), thundermaw, strangleroot, tragic slip, searing spear.

At least there's still experiment 1, domri, dreg mangler, etc. there are still fast Jund cards post rotation, but the loss of flinthoof is unbearable to me :(

Well, I just threw the krasis in. Not sure what else to put in

Loxodon smiter over that white 3-drop who taps blockers. Loxo beats people pretty bad and triggers Krasis evolution

Armada wurm would be playable in this deck as well, but I'd only play 1-3 of them. Evolves Krasis 2x.

I've seen you do this multiple times, please know what you are saying before callin out people for posting "non standard legal cards".  On the other hand, these suggestions are very good, Loxodon Smiter is an excellent card and Armada Wurm is also very hard to deal with.

I'm not calling them liars. I'm just saying what my knowledge is. And I'm human, I make mistakes, an understand when I say something, that there is a chance I am wrong. I never think I'm 100% right when I say anything, just in case I am wrong. But I understand a lot of things have black and white answers

Are zebra's white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

The best answer? The best answer is "yes."

But it is the easiest thing ever to search those two cards on this app and use that knowledge to know that they are in standard before saying they aren't.
