Thanks, I found that the basic chess theme works quite well for more straight-forward strategies. It helps to distribute the converted mana costs of the creatures in a manageable way, and covers all the bases (something for defense, something for attack, and a few key cards to drive in nails).

I like it, and once it's up and running this combo is quite formidable. But the one thing I noticed in play-testing is that the deck is awfully slow to start. On average I spend about 5-7 turns waiting for the chance to do something because the average converted mana cost for these cards 4+. Moreover, most of those require at least two white mana which you need to wait for. So, one you might be interested in is playing with your land distribution, since only 9/60 cards actually require green mana.

I think you meant for Descendants' Path to help balance out the high mana costs, but less than half the cards in this deck are creatures, and only a fraction of those creatures share creature types with your lower-level creatures, meaning they won't help you bring out the larger creatures any more quickly. So, most of the cards Descendants' Path reveals just get put on the bottom.

Short Version:
Great combo, slow deck.
