Bored with today's popular builds and looking to try out something new and fresh with just the few bucks in your pocket? Why not go green?
Other than Nylea and her bow, the other green devotion stuff is super cheap. Even superstar Reverent Hunter is just a 50ยข rare.With cheap devotion boosters like Kalonian Tusker and Swordwise Centaur, you can make Hunter a beast when he hits the field, gain gobs of life with Nylea's Disciple, and add tons of mana later with Karametra's Acolyte. They all curve out nicely, too!Then beef up your creatures with Aspect of Hydra and run over the competition... without throwing your life savings away.Try it out at FNM sometime, and have fun!

This wouldn't really last the first two (probably even three) rounds at most FNM's. Here's why:1) It doesn't respond to any decks in the current Metagame at all (no responses to midrange, mono blue, mono black or even mono red).2) It's lacking in consistency (random 1 or 3 of's of cards that you actually need)3) No late game or early game: You aren't abusing simple cards like experiment one and burning-tree for early advantage or big drops for late game either (your game-enders appear to be Deadbridge Goliath and fated intervention which is two 3/3s.. Great for double blocking but terrible to attack with in a world with Advent of the Wurm and Loxo Smiter). Your Midrange might work but you aren't really even abusing that since you aren't working on your devotion count from turn 1 (Elvish mystics or experiment one's).4) Flying shuts your deck down since you only have 3 responses in your sideboard that are in-turn dependent on your devotion count.

Fair enough. Do you have any specific suggestions?I know it has several weaknesses, but the emphasis here was the budget. I don't want it to get blown out...was hoping it could somewhat outrace blue and black, and Ranger's Guile was for siding in vs kill/burn spells, but....I intentionally left out Experiment One and BTE because, again, budget. Obviously they'd be awesome, but they're $2-$3 each right now. Even Mystic is a buck, which makes it tough to include, but I'll try and squeeze them in. Mystic IS a glaring hole right now.I'll trim down some of the inconsistency cards and try to streamline it, and I'll beef up the sideboard vs flying, and try some other things. But again, if you have some suggestions, I'm all ears.
Alright, I pulled in Mystics and cut some of the fluff. Added another Skyreaping to the sideboard; between that and Deadly Recluse you should be able to handle most flyers.Obviously still fragile to kill/burn and of course wipers, but green can only do so much about that even without budget constraints....
Sure. - I'd think about Auras as a possibility and consider adding regeneration as a buffer against boardwipes. Mending touch might bet better than mortal's resolve (costs 1 less) and for targeted destroy spells, there's always ranger's guile. - Consider something like Golgari Decoy to get your damage in and possibly make them have to block (to remove their creatures.- Some really odd cards that I've seen work (because no one expects them) are Phytoburst and I think Mischief and Mayhem may do something similar. That plus the decoy is complete shenanigans at its best :)- Maybe add in a rogue's passage for some damage output later..? Unsure about that one..
Plus, add consistency to the deck. I'd lose the demoloks in favor of 2 more bramblecrushes since it gives your opponent fewer options.. Less variability.
Cool beans.I do have Guile in the sideboard, but forgot about Mending Touch.Also considered Decoy...just didn't make the final cut. I'll look into it again. Might go Noble Quarry if I go that route, though. Cheaper and can be an enchantment instead in a pinch.Demlocks for Bramble...check.Thanks for the suggestions!
Np. I'd also seriously think about plummet over Skyreaping since most decks don't go for a dedicated flying strategy.. You're usually only up against a single desecration demon or stormbreath not much more.. Maybe 2 of each or 3 plummet/1 skyreaping ...
Good thought. Went 2 Plummet and 2 Skyreaping. Keep in mind Deadly Recluse is mainboard and is basically Plummet on legs, too.
