Any opinion and/or suggestion?

Feed the pack, is this for 💩 and gigs? Or you trying to play competitively ?

I'd use strangleroot Geist in this mono green deck. Since you're green sunning, acidic slime & bellowing wurm. You can take naturalize out, nothing kills an Aggro deck like a dead draw.

Might fit in llanowar elfs too they help with ramp for sun

Mind the swears. Thanks.

I highly recommend adding a play set of {strata scythe}s to this.
I play them in mine and it's rediculious how hard you can hit with a llanowar elf. On any trample guy, it's even better.
I also run a full set of {rampant growths} and {prey upon}

Made some changes, take a look.

I say llanowar instead of bop because elf has 1 power which helps when you have nothing. But birds work as well too. It looks ok besides being over 60 cards

Why tree? It's a defender? In an Aggro deck?

Rearrenged the cards. The tree is meant to create 13 2/2 wolf token with {Feed the Wolfpack}. And I can create 8 with {Skinshifter}.

Right on. If you're tryin for the specific combo playset of green sun or 3 IMO. I mean it gets shuffled back into deck. It helps with situation.  sacrificing for tokens with 2 specific cards is what you're trying to do you wanna be able to pull it off. Kessig cagebreaker with that many creatures is a little less spell dependent.

^This^

Figure out what you want from the deck, and use full playsets (x4) of each of them.  3x cards that work, but you don't want to see 3 copies clogging your hand.  Don't just play pairs of a card.  Singletons are for later game "you never know" cards.  Something that might break a late game stale-mate for example.

Also, {Tree of Redemption} and toughness boosters are da bomb!

I have a similar Casual deck called "Tree"

Tried to improve it.

That's good. Mine's Vintage multiplayer, so it's good to see a Standard version.

I tried to make one similar to this it's the wolf tree one if you want to take a look or have suggestions. I play essence of the wild in mine cause then you get 6/6's instead with feed the pack and then it can kinda just go crazy.

Panda, to tell you the truth, your deck inspired me. Thanks!

Made some changes, please check it out.

Titans and a Geist out. 3 {Kessig Cagebreakers} in.

What do you think?

Looking more competitive. Much improved!

What about parallel lives?
Title: Re: Trees' Folks
Post by: Bernardcs on April 15, 2012, 08:16:48 AM
Firstly i added it, but then i realized that i neeeded the combo to trigger faster. I'll have, at least, 6 wolfs with this deck as it is. I think it's enough to beat'em.

{Mayor of Avabruck} is not doing well in this deck.

I was thinking about adding:
{Reclaim}
{Ezuri's Archers}
{Death-Hood Cobra}
{Wing Puncture}

What do you think?

If you are worried about flyers try {wall of tanglecord}
Or you could always side in some {crushing vines}
Title: Re: Trees' Folks
Post by: Bernardcs on April 16, 2012, 08:46:38 PM
New changes. Opinions?

Are the captains really viable in your deck? You don't seem to be playing many humans so you might take them out. I personally like {ambush vipers} as a two drop cause if your opponent drops a big threat and attacks all you have to do is flash him down for two and block and it's as good as dead.

Corrosive gale is better cause it kill off all fliers

True but if you are going against a spirit tribal deck killing all of their fliers for a bird or two seems worth it.

I saw ezuris archer and that made me think why not {corrosive gale}?

Tested it and not always had time to cast the combo, so I added some mana ramp.

What do you think?
