Am I the only one who sees potential for populate is Standard? It's a fantastic mechanic, and has plenty of cards to unleash its potential.

Before gatecrash people where playing allot of selesnya populate decks.

Drop the fire manes for  {Garruk Relentless}

Frothandslosh

Hmm... I really debated whether or not {Garruk Relentless} gets a slot in the deck, but he just doesn't fit. He either makes tokens that are too small to be worth populating, or does what {Skarrg Guildmage} is supposed to do but in a much more complicated way.

Midnight haunting,
And {Intangible Virtue} is a must

Frothandslosh

I had 2 {Midnight Haunting} in the sideboard, but replaced them with 2 {Righteous Charge}. This deck is about swinging hard from the ground, not blocking in the sky. Any flyers I need come from {Geist-Honored Monk}.

As for {Intangible Virtue}, I just can't see what it'll replace. What do you suggest?

Not all of your cards
Are
Green, and it is only creature,

Some take
Them out for virtue,


Hope I helped.

 {Huntmaster of the Fells}, if your not on a budget. I like how you get wolves with him.

Frothandslosh

Hmm.... I'm seriously considering {Intangible Virtue} now..... But I think I prefer a late game {Revive} over it. Getting a {Selesnya Charm} back in my hand can be a game changer.

Frothandslosh

What sort of Gruul cards would go well in this deck?

Maybe I am wrong but it looks a little inconsistent...

I would use  {Restoration Angel} instead of  {Firemane Avenger}...  Firemane is nice but has no immediate impact on the battlefield... Resto can protect ur creatures by flicking and can also populate by blinking ur monk for example... {Huntmaster of the Fells} would fit there as well... 

Frothandslosh

I'd love to put those in, but this deck is WAY too budget for those. Thanks for the input, though!

Frothandslosh

I'm thinking of replacing {Revive} with some sort of token generator. Any thoughts?
