With kessig wolfrun and the fireball(which is meant for multiplayer matches. I'm going to replace it with {banefire}) there is more than enough killing power in this deck.

Problem would be drawing then or if they get milled or discarded

Harmonize and genesis wave for drawing and eternal witness for getting it back in my hand.

My little touch on green decks has always been {Giant Adephage}. It either hits them and gets you another one or it instantly attracts removal that would have been used on something else

I would add something like worldspine wurm or emrakul, but I'm a fan of one turn kills and I love killing my opponent with a 55/1 arbor elf with trample or hitting them with 50 damage that can't be countered or prevented. It's just my play style.

Cool deck :) i know its not constructive but i love green ramp

Updated the sideboard

Played against this today, it was really entertaining to watch this foo take 10 minute turns.

Do you think a few (2 or 3 of one ) {Woodland Cemetery}  or  {Llanowar Wastes} in case you need to SB would be worth while? And possibly throw them off.

I have a few temple garden and stomping ground I could throw in to put efficient graveyard hate and {ancient grudge}. What would I add to the sideboard if I added black?

I was thinking saving a few life on the phyrexian mana if you had to SB. That's why I wouldn't use a shock land. Just tossing out ideas. (Please let me know if they are good or bad). I figured two or three check lands wouldn't hurt you. And the pain lands would be one less life then the pherxian mana. Also the land may toss off your opponent.

Hmmmmm.. I'll test

Oops wanted to let me know if they are good or bad ideas. I'm kinda looking into modern once I get my house and have a good place to unpack my cards. I'm just spitballing stuff and seeing if anything sticks. Trying to learn from other peoples experiencese.

I could see black being pretty solid. I have enough search with the primeval titans and black presents great side boarding options like {duress} and {leyline of the void} along with the dismember and surgical extractions.

If you do that I would think you would have to add  {Thoughtseize} but then you might be changing your whole deck. And this is what always messes me up when building.

I like this black card called {Distress} which is essentially a 2 costed Thoughtseize without life loss

Decided the safest bet was add 4 {stomping ground} for ancient grudge and to more easily pay for {kessig wolf run}. If I did anything else I know I would start to delude the deck. Also added {emrakul the eons torn} aka Papa FuzZ

It costs two. It's bad.

Why does that make it bad?

Turn 1 disruption can put your opponent behind a turn. In a competitive game it matters a lot.

Need more creatures and a better curve to make proper use of Nykthos.

This is an aura-ramp that has Nykthos, not devotion ramp. I don't rely on the shrines.
