What's the deck's specialty? Putting that into words can really help me and you both in figuring out what might work well in this deck. As for cards, I'd suggest Ancient Ziggurat. It doesn't even come into play tapped, so for this creature-heavy deck it seems ideal. Also, Crystal Ball can help you control what you draw next, and Azusa, Lost but Seeking lets you play lands at a faster rate. I'm no expert at building 5-color decks, but I hope some of that helped.

Yeah. A lot's changed in the way I play my game since I first posted this deck.
Thanks for suggesting Drove of Elves- it looks great to me.
Thanks for the input. I'll definitely look into quite a few of those cards you suggested. Over time, I've realized that this deck's main weakness is defending against opponents with Flying, so I'll have to figure something out there eventually as well. Jagged-Scar Archers sounds good for a start against that kind of thing.
Niiice. Have you taken a look at Omnath, Locus of Mana yet? Unless you're going Standard here, I think he's perfect for green Eldrazi decks, since he lets your green mana carry over between turns.
I'll trade you may Ajani's Pridemate for two Plague Stinger if you like, since I prefer Cradle of Vitality anyway for lifegain-based power.
Thanks. When you face off as often as I do against a veteran lifegain user who averages 100 life in five turns even while taking heavy damage, infect is just about the only way to go, I think.
I think maybe Elvish Archdruid, especially if you've got Ambush Commander to turn all your Forests into elves as well. If you have enough Druids in here, Gilt-Leaf Archdruid is a fantastic card to use, and Ezuri, Renegade Leader is just fun anyway.
Found a couple more cards to help you "get out the big hitters": Fauna Shaman + Elvish Piper Lead the Stampede Genesis Wave Green Sun's Zenith
When you're right, you're right. Creature removal really annoys me. Luckily I'm starting to get together a bunch of cards that should help with removal. Turn Aside looks like a good choice to me, and maybe Stoic Rebuttal too.
Nice deck, in my opinion. Have you tried Etherium Sculptor? I love that card for this type of deck. Since I'm working on a similar deck, would you mind looking it over and letting me know what I could be doing better? It wins 9 out of 10 matches, but the ones it loses are usually against early-game creature removal. If you know any solution for that, please let me know of it. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=167801
Planning to tag-team with this one http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=167801 sometime soon. Any thoughts on what we could do as a team? Combos?
I'd never have called this thing Weasel-Stomping Day if I'd known how monstrously strong and fast it would turn out to be! The most current version can be found here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=167801
It's without a doubt my most powerful deck to date, and with just 5 non-Standard cards. Earlier I actually said "I attack for 73, 23 of which is unblockable"! The deck has played 6 matches against 4 different colors, and hasn't even come close to losing yet. Also my fastest deck. Any suggestions on which 5 standard cards I should use to replace the 5 non-standards in there is welcomed.
Painful Quandary- It costs 5, but opponents have to either discard a card for every spell they cast, or lose 5 life.
Check out my Weasel-Stomping Day deck. (Yeah, really. It's not bad either, but advice is always welcome.) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=165841
How about Rot Wolf? Or Contagion Engine? Maybe Predatory Focus, too. Those could be pretty good here.
Decent enough deck, for sure, although I wonder if Putrefax is really worth it for that one turn you get before you have to pay his CMC again when you get him back with Rot Wolf. If you think protection from artifacts would be nice, Tel-Jilad Fallen seems like the card for the job to me. Further, if it doesn't seem too expensive to do so, maybe replace a Contagion Clasp with a Contagion Engine. And with the power currently in this deck, a couple Predatory Focus could spell the end for a lot of opponents. Finally, Lead the Stampede is nice for finding creatures. Hope some of these suggestions come in handy.
As a less mana-expensive and more recent alternative to Elvish Piper, may I suggest Fauna Shaman? It may only get a card from your deck to your hand, and require you to discard a creature to do so, but that does mean that with it out on the table you can switch a creature in your hand you don't need for one you do need.
Nice cards here. I think that a few cards that could be great in here are Azusa, Lost But Seeking, which lets you play up to three lands per turn, or Omnath, Locus of Mana, Green Sun's Zenith, and Lead the Stampede to help you find creatures. For me personally, Elvish Archdruid has been a miracle worker in getting me mana when I need it, plus it makes other Elves stronger for a CMC of 3 to summon it. Good luck with your green deck, and if it works out, I'd appreciate a little help with my elf deck as well. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=165850
