No {Kalonian Hydra}?

A bit too expensive and deck isn't counter based, mist cutter is for the extra mana late game.

How's fog working for you? I don't really see it working in this deck.

I can usually have one that isn't milled due to garruk.  Not perfect but helps.

{Wasteland Viper} over {Sedge Scorpion} and {Sundering Growth} over {Naturalize} for the small chance of populating a {Worldspine Wurm} token.

Thanks for the tips, not sure of the sundering growth but the viper is a definite switch.

Might as well. Double green shouldn't be a problem so run that {Sundering growth}. Besides, the art is better

Against which art? I use the {Naturalize} gatecrash art ftw :).  But in my playgroup I don't see him ever die.  Besides I would probably use it before he died.  Tbh I think the biggest reason I don't use it is because it's mono green and the card is half white.  Same as using {prey upon} sorcery vs {pit fight} instant.  Just don't like seeing those colors :p.  But if I were going tourney level, I would probably make the change.

I would use giant adephage over Skarrg Goliath because the adephage is the gift that keeps on giving. Plus you could potentially use sundering growth on it.

Not bad but I don't have any adaphages...adaphi?  Whatever... I'll think about it though, thanks :)

I like {Sylvan Primordial} and {Deadbridge Goliath} in this deck.

Get an early Primodial out through Garruk kill their land/whatever the noncreature threat is.

Or get out a T3 Goliath with mystic and start swinging 5 per turn and when it dies you can use it to pump your other creatures.

{Deathrite Shaman} in SB maybe against Reanimator?

Where is {Arbor Colossus}?? He is cheap to obtain, easy to cast and with Nylea he is really good and on top of that 3 {G} pips in casting cost...;) ( Polukranos would be nice here as well )...

18 land is nowhere near enough. You need at least 24.

Don't seem to have any trouble when I play.  Karametra and shrine take care of my mana base plenty enough, with the elves helping to speed up.

I would raise the landbase at least on 21... It is mainly because of the starting hand... with 18 lands you could easily end up with one land only for 4 turns... It will slow your start...;)

However, if I have 6 mana and I'm looking for garruk and all I keep drawing is land, I'm in the same boat.
