Also, looked at your user profile, none of your decks are really impressive, and none are standard, or bizarre combo, or competitive in any other format. Not meaning to be offensive(though I realize I sound that way), but if this is what your playing and people insult your decks, its because they dont really fit into any format as decent decks in that format. Try making competitive decks are don't be offended when someone tells you your just for fun deck isn't any good.

Not really any good, drop swarmlord, fiend, and deceiver, none are any good, then add more pump and maybe some protection
There's no point to this deck. If you're going to use banned cards, then make a deck with a near-unstoppable turn 1 win. Winning on turn 2, IF you get a lucky draw AND your opponent has no disruption, is pointless. There are tons of legacy decks that would destroy this one almost every time. Also, making front page doesnt mean its a good deck, there was a total troll deck on here for a while recently( called Vamp Cant Be Stopped) that wasnt legal(5 of a card) and sucked that made front page. Front is based on #comments,not how good a deck is.
I dont like the ×4restoration angel. Its a great a great card, but this is not a good deck for it. You only have 3 thragtusks as good targets, and its really bad with rancor. Here is my version of G/W aggro, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402347 mine is a bit faster and I think it's overall a bit better(at least based on the popularity of decks in my local meta, mine is tuned slightly for Rites and removal-loaded combo. Mine is also cheaper(Thragtusk+resto angel=$$$)
Thanks, any suggestions? Here's the mill deck I'm thinking about getting together http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402972
Dropping Triumph for another Garruk. Triumph is really good against Jund(where dreadbore kills Garruk), I really need that slot as another way to fight control/board sweepers. Garruk's ability to restock my board with creatures and draw cards is great. On rare occasions, Garruk's last ability can give me the win against control/ramp decks that use a ton of walls and axebane guardian(a pretty popular archetype, at least around me).
Wow, almost same deck, only difference is the difference in standard. This deck should be really good once I add boros and Gruul. Hopefully gruul brings some sort of human shaman/warrior/berserker with a useful ability for this deck.
This list is based partly on my local meta. Militant is a 2-power 1-drop against anything, but is great against flashback, which is really popular near me. The mana creatures let me often have Paladin and Silverheart out by 4. Garruk gives me resilience to board sweepers, so Thragtusk is less important. I have 4 rancors and 4 Charms to grant trample to Silverheart. Sigarda is a good fit for this, I'm going to try dropping 1 pilgrim and 1 militant for a pair of Sigardas. On the sideboard: Why Nevermore? Judge's familiar is good(can also bond with Silverheart or get Rancor to be solid evasive threat) might switch or split them with the Thalias. I want to keep the trackers. RIP should prolly replace purify the grave. O-ring is more versatile than Sundering Growth. Thank you for mentioning Sigarda, I think she'll really help. I know I'm not completely following your sideboard advice, but I do think your input really helped me overall.
Love that they made the Charms good enough to be played either main- or sideboard in most decks of the color. I just wish they had done a better job with the leaders(who barely get play in any deck that isn't theme based) Hope the gatecrash Charms are just as good and the leaders are better!
I have to say though, while this looks like a solid deck, it's not cheap nor does it look as nearly as good as many of your other decks, such as your Jund, Fickertusk, and R/U/W control. Naya just isn't in a great place right now because only one of the three guilds that make up it's colors were in RTR. After we get gruul and boros this might be a much stronger deck, but right now it just lacks a lot of the raw power of similair Jund Midranges like this http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=401365, or the Jund that you recently posted.
Honestly, I don't like Sigarda and dont think theres anything here worth cutting to put her in. Heres my Naya, would you take a look and suggest a sideboard? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402161
Considering Faithless Looting to dump spells into graveyard and increase spell selection(eliminate extraneous evasion and lands)
Considering faithless looting. Can put instants/sorcerys into graveyard, can ditch extra lands if i draw too many, helps get the best combinations of spells(want to cast a pump/burn and a evasion/block clear, 2 evasion is extraneous, no evasion=no damage). But what to cut?
I don't think so, 21 is a pretty low land count already. This deck really needs to play a land the first 3 or so turns so I can pop a bunch of instants at once. Only thing I had really considered was adding some draw spells, but they need to be cheap. Think twice doesn't help cause I have to flashback it for card advantage, so doesn't help pike.
O-ring is a likely sideboard, along with selesnya charm(removes silverhearts and thragtusks, along with +2/+2 against removal and small blockers),and RIP(so many graveyard decks now). As I mentioned above, I haven't
Maybe, I haven't seen Trostani much except in dedicated populate decks that also play cards which are fairly weak(such as Eyes In The Skies and Courser's Accord). I think hellhole flailer is mostly ignored cause it just doesn't fit into manay decks. I will add it though.
I like it in my selesnya deck, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402347 It lets me have a high land count despite 8 mana creatures because I can keep a hand that has great ramping and low cost creatures but lacks a finisher. I can cast Militant/Strangleroot and ramp then play a big 8/8 as early as turn 4. With rancor, its a threat that has to be removed SOON, and it cant be countered like other big creatures.
I tried building a similar deck(it had stalker and blistercoil weird with trepanation and runechanters pike in addition to lots of the cards here)but it seemed like it was way to often that I filled my opponents graveyard so much that it gave them a huge advantage. Also, many of the best decks now are playing so many lands that runechanters pike was always better and cheaper than trepanation blade. I eventually changed it, but built another with similar idea, just no mill. Here it is, please see what you think about it. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=400295
Old strategy, I'm pretty sure Protean Hulk got banned from standard because of turn 1 win combo that only needed a few cards.
Might be worth updating to standard, but prolly better to wait til gatecrash. Here's a token deck I made recently, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=400836. Only problem is that Rakdos charm kills token decks, makes each of your 1/1s do one damage to you. Sever the bloodline is also seeing lots of play and can exile piles of spirits at once. Bonfire of the Damned is a big card right now and can destroy tons of tokens with even a cheap 2-3 mana miracle. Mizzium Mortars does the same thing. Real problem is that W/B doesn't have counterspells or protection, and this deck cant kill nearly fast enough to avoid getting it't board swept. Only thing this deck beats is the fast aggro red/black decks. There's just too many cards ruin this strategy that are also great against other things.
