Creatures: 17
4 {Veteran Explorer}
2 {Sakura-Tribe Elder}
2 {Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary}
1 {Eternal Witness}
3 {Primeval Titan}
2 {Grave Titan}
1 {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}
2 {Deathrite Shaman}

Spells: 18
4 {Green Sun's Zenith}
2 {Maelstrom Pulse}
2 {Pernicious Deed}
1 {Dismember}
3 {Abrupt Decay}
4 {Cabal Therapy}
2 {Gitaxian Probe}

Lands: 25
1 {Eye of Ugin}
3 {Cabal Coffers}
1 {Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth}
2 {Phyrexian Tower}
4 {Bayou} (Ill run {overgrown tomb})
4 {Swamp}
4 {Forest}
2 {Dryad Arbor}
4 {Verdant Catacombs}



This seems fun to play, and I could budget it easily by running overgrown tombs till I find bayous. Cutting the Prime Times (I have them for Bloom Titan) and the fetches, it's $227 on tcg. gonna splurge on fetches as I go.

Who has ideas?

{Abrupt Decay}? Also I'd add {Deathrite Shaman}

Both solid ideas! I'm thinking of ditching smother. I also feel like 1 more coffers and more sac outlets for vet would be good.

Less Hymn, more Decay for sure. Decay is better than smother in 99% of situations, that 1% is when a creature has regenerate...

Or if they run  {Golgari Charm}, which, btw, you should consider main or sb. :)

This is odd any maybe not best, but what about {Gitaxian Probe}? Draw power coupled with the filtering seems best to me, along with always getting a good {Cabal Therapy} would be nice. Just a thought though, could be not great :p

Makes sense. What to cut?

I feel really weak to counters... What to do?

{dryad arbor} to fetch out with green sun.  I'd say only 1 or 2, but that possibly for ramp is really good
Sweet.

I want to keep it G/B. How many shamans? How many decays? I'd say 3 probes, but maybe 4?

I moved some numbers around and added stuff. How does it look?

I'd say {hymn to tourch} over {cabal therapy} but I haven't played the deck or watched it enough to say that for sure.
Vet makes this deck sing. Cabal gets really good with vet. Git makes first cabal good, vet makes flashing it good. Cabal can hit multiple spells in they're hand. I vote cabal.
