Deck Description

I've been trying to find a way of speeding the deck up I hope you like it.
Also if I could get help with the sideboard that would be appreciated, thank you.

If you're looking to speed it up, you could add in the Ichor rats and take out Skithiryx...I mean yes he is a bamf, but you can only have one out at a time and the rats drop a counter on your opponent when they come into play

I left Skithiryx in because I can put him out turn 3 with BoP and harrow then giant growth and/or groundswell and its a win

I added green for speed because I saw how slow it was running, then I added giant growth and groundswell to speed up the kill condition.

Personally I'd rather go Vines of Vastwood than Giant Growth. Sure it's 2g instead of 1, but its +4/+4 rather than +3/+3 and gives the not targetable by opponents ability at the same time.

Also, why is Nihil Spellbomb in your sideboard? Why not something like Naturalize or Tel-Jilad Defiance?

To the comment above me, turnmebackup, i love green and black.
but yeah, i deffinitely agree with mimic vat. Anddd whispersilk cloak is a great equip.
Green gives the deck fast power, plus you can throw in an asceticism to protect your guys, with green, and putrefax is always nice.
proliferate is good with blue (i.e. inexorable tide) but if you're proliferating, you could just be attacking with another poison creature. It's faster.
Now, proliferate can add way more, if planned out well, but still, the only reason i was going to consider adding blue, besides proliferate, was control, but to me, poison is supposed to be fast and easy.
Also, a realllly good insant to have, is untamed might. It's a beast for it's cost.

Thank you for the suggestion, as to untamed might, I had looked at it during the build and I couldn't figure out what to pull. All the cards that are in here serve the purpose of the deck(to me).

If you're running green black, Cystbearer is a better slot pick over Contagious Nim. Similar cost for a tougher body.

In response to Why're you're running Skithiryx, again, for that purpose Putrefax makes a better fit. I'm assuming you do this all in one Turn? If so, Putrefax has Trample, meaning its damage is actually more consistent than Skithiryx, which can be chumped blocked by a flyer. Plus, Haste comes as an ability as part of the card. So something like this...

Turn 1 - Forest, Birds.
Turn 2 - Forest, Birds, Birds.
Turn 3 - Forest, Putrefax, Groundswell, Swing for 9 Trample Infect.

...putrefax over skithiryx? lets face it, that combo you just listed was nice, but #1, it's not a game finisher. and #2 putrefax is sacrificed at the end of the turn. skithiryx can fly, which normally is a break through, and if not, he'll make waste of anything is his way. plus, if he dies, pay 2 swamp to regenerate him. a 4/4 flying, for 5 mana, with the additional haste for a swamp, and regeneration? id pick that over a 5/3 5 drop with trample anyday.

what if putrefax was blocked by a 3/3 with first strike? complete waste of 5 mana.

another good idea would be to add untamed might. that is the best late game finisher. on several occasions ive finished guys off with turn four skithyrix turn five untamed to give skithyrix +4+4
