Deck Description

The idea behind this deck is to play a bunch of green cards onto the battlefield that have the forest symbol in their mana cost. If you count the number of Forest symbols, this will give you a total "Devotion" to green cost.

For a cost of 3 mana, Nykthos Shrine to Nyx allows you create green (or red) mana equal to your devotion to green (or red) count. This can lead to some scary big numbers being added to the mana pool.

Factor in that Voyaging Satyr can untap a target land, you can essentially get to goes on Nykthos Shrine to Nyx in the same round - creating CRAZY amounts of mana to spend on casting expensive creatures or going monstrous on Polukranos and board wiping all your opponents creatures!

Cards such as Burning-Tree Emissary and Arbor Collusus contribute alot towards the green or red mana devotion count.

Combo:
- Courser of Kruphix allowing you to see the top card
- Domri Rade - you can now work out if his +1 is going to hit a creature
or
- Chandra, Pyromancer - using her +0, you can work out if the top card is a viable card to play as you can see it.
