The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

I'm new to Magic, and a friend built me a saproling deck with mostly left over cards... what do you think? What kind of changes should be made? I know I should get a couple doubling seasons to put in there...

well theres only a few things i would change about this deck, first of all i would take out "guardian of vity-ghazi", although it is a free card to play, you wont be able to play it unless you can get out saprolings easier. i would also take out "selesnya evangel", although it can be early saprolings, with only a cost of 2 to play it, im going to end up telling you to take out plains alltogether, but not till later. id throw in another "savage thallid" because their good later in game incase you ever need to revive a fungus. id take out "thallid germinator" all together, although it does spawn saprolings itself, there are better spawners and his effect really isnt that good at all. "thallid shell-dweller" arguably the best thallid in the game, on turn 2 u can get out a very good defender that also spawns, almost guarenteed to get atleast a few saprolings. you can also take out "vitaspore thallid" sacraficing saprolings doesnt really help you with effects like this, same with the "thallid germinator" they dont permenetely help, they just hurt because they have higher casting costs. id also ditch "soul warden" and get "essence warden", 2 of them, because its green and i will eventually tell you to get rid of plains, but not yet. get "perimeter captain" out of there! he has nothing to do with saprolings, at all. i can see why you have "sigil captain" in there, but like i said plains is going to be out. and how the hell did you think u could get away with only having 2 "thallids" in there?? they are arguably the best card in the deck, they are the original 1 drop saproling spawners, make sure you have 4. now your probably, if ur still reading this, thinking 'then what creatures do i have' well ill tell you, you need to add "mycoloth", 4 of them late game when you have saprolings to spawn, they are godly. also add 4 "sporesower thallid" they are like another doubling season, almost. id also throw in 3 "sporoloth ancient" they lower the cost of putting saproling into play for everything, very helpful. also i would throw in atleast 2 "thelon of havenwood" if not more! they power up your fungus like no other, and keep them safe from opponents burn spells. thats all for creatures. ill just go straight to artifacts, ADD 4 "COAT OF ARMS", thats all for artifacts. spells time! get rid of "fog", once you spawn saprolings you wont need defence like that, you can just let the saprolings take it for you. "giant growth" is deffinitely out aswell, youll have to many saprolings that you wont need it. "glorious charge" is alright, but gone. at one point in this message i will tell you to get rid of plains, and thats what it is. "luminescent rain" is actually a pretty good card for this deck, but im going to have to ask you to ditch it aswell, if you have essence wardens then you wont need it. "rest for the weary" is also an uneeded card, its gone. so is "shieldmate's blessing", its out. "sigil blessing" is also out, you really dont want stuff that only enchants one creature. "overrun" is also out, you will litterly overrun them, their creatures wont be able to handle that make saprolings. "thrive" just plain sucks in this deck, out. now for lands, GET RID OF THE PLAINS, and add 14 forests. now youll need enchantments, youll want 4 "doubling season"s because, they are god in this deck. "Gaea's Anthem" is also alright, its the green version of your "glorious charge", only its permenant id throw in 2. id also throw in 3 "life and limb", it give you unlimited mana, almost. "spidersilk armor" will be your defence against flying, add 4. also a fun card to play is "wild pair" but not always helpful so just add 2.

dang... quite a reworking there haha. But I see no harm in having the overruns in there... if you have a good amount of saporlings out and you get overrun.. its nearly a win card. Also isn't 25 lands a bit much...? Especially if "life and limb" almost gives me unlimited mana..?

haha sry i was bored in my class. if you can produce enough saprolings then u really have no use for overrun, at a 1st glance it looks like itd be a good card in a saproling deck, but if your opponent has 10 creatures that can block(which is a good amount!) then u only need 30 saprolings to attack, it is true that with overrun you would only need a max of 15, but if you can produce saprolings fast enough, then you have no use for overrun. when i played with overrun in my deck whenever i got it in my hand i would just move it aside and never use it. if u exchange it for somthing like "thallid" then u can play it on turn 1 and start producing the saprolings much earlier.

i just have 25 lands in there because i have VERY bad luck with lands, i think i actually adjusted it to 21 in the real deck, i made adjustments on the real thing that i havent done yet on here.

its also just partly my play style, id rather have mana flood then mana drought because as soon as i draw a card that isnt a land, i can play it.
