Deck discussion for Tree Defense

I like it! IMO I'll drop the Greaves, I would go for Green Sun's Zenith instead of Gift of the Gargantuan as they can put Doran in play for 4 mana and even if you only have green mana.

As for mana generating creature... Sylvan Caryatid seems wonderful, gives mana of every color, its 0/3 hexproof and with Doran it does 3 damage as well! (Although Defender)

For protection Asceticism hexproofs everyone and can regenerate your trees. apart from that Amazing deck!

Greaves is both protection for doran and haste for faster killing. Green sun is banned in moderm :( sylvan is cool but noble basically covers all the colours, alongside harbingers and farseeks i can easily get a black source (murmuring bosk or tomb)
I had considered asceticism and had played it for a while but when i refined it i decided to drop it for more reliable turn4 kills, which can happen with tower defense :D
Thanks for taking the time to read and put down your ideas :D

Forgot that about Green Sun's Zenith :( You are right there... Your land fetching is impressive and I like the mana base a lot! Only change I would do is adding Caver of Souls, maybe not 4 of them, but some.

Many Treefolk/shaman aggro decks run Lead the Stampede for drawing instead of Gift of the Gargantuan, you have a solid mana base, so I guess it is a good idea.

I started building a treefolk deck for modern using Doran as base, but I switched to shamans... I'm loving the cards I can play. Check it if you have the time. I took your idea and put some Tower Defense there.
