I have a really good Win/Loss against my friends, but they finally clued in that aggro decks do really good against me (2 of them even grabbed 4 assemble the legions and built RW with them) It is a casual as hell deck, so I'm not worried if nobody wants/is able to look at it, but any help is appreciated  We play with any-card goes, but I'm trying to keep it as modern as possible (don't want to give up my Green Sun's, too central to the deck) http://deck.tk/7jkf1NLU Text Card List + Show Spoiler + //Lands 21 Forest 4 Sapseep Forest //Spells 2 Asceticism 1 Blanchwood Armor 3 Cultivate 2 Fog 1 Fungal Sprouting 1 Garruk Wildspeaker 2 Green Sun's Zenith 2 Leyline of Vitality 1 Natural End 1 Naturalize 1 Overwhelming Stampede 4 Prey Upon 2 Primal Command 2 Ranger's Path 2 Revive 3 Vines of Vastwood 1 Whispersilk Cloak 1 Tooth and Nail //Creatures 4 Arbor Elf 1 Eternal Witness 1 Oracle of Mul Daya 2 Bellowing Tanglewurm 2 Borderland Ranger 1 Verdeloth the Ancient 2 Deadly Recluse 1 Dungrove Elder 2 Leatherback Baloth 2 Sentinel Spider 1 Terra Stomper 2 Vigor 1 Worldspine Wurm Basically I ramp up and try to bring out one of my one-of cards in with a Green Sun, Primal Command or Tooth and Nail, depending on how well I ramped and what the other guy has. Like I said earlier, its a really Swiss-army-knife deck atm, its surprisingly consistent considering its size, but I need a little more, and my friends newer decks are really forcing me to grab more enchantment breaks, Asceticism comes in a little later than I've been needing recently. The only obvious change that pops out to me is straight up cutting the 2 Sentinel Spiders, and probably sideboarding 1 of the Tanglewurms, but I'm hesitant because its proven to be one of my best win conditions. | ||

Fungal Sprouting - Just a win-more card, for this card to be good means you already have a large creature out, meaning you are already somewhat winning. Whispersilk - Since your guys are already supposed to be bigger than the other team, and you have tanglewurm, is the shroud worth it to you? Fog - Fog is rarely good, and you have the low drop creatures. Most of the time you'd rather just see a creature that can block instead of a fog. I would play acidic slimes if you need more naturalize effects. | ||

That deck is hot shit. Ever since cyclops did so well for me at prerelease, I've wanted to use it in constructed...I might have to build that, since the only cards I'm missing anyways are the ISD commons. | ||

I would play acidic slimes if you need more naturalize effects. Leyline is mostly for the life, and it really shines when i do manage to plant saprolings, giving a good chunk of life as well as doubling their toughness, but like you said with the fungal sprouting, it seems to be a 'win more' in my deck. I can probably afford to shuffle both of these out. The Whispersilk is usually used to protect some of the key cards like the Oracle of Mul Daya or a Vigor. I think that leaving it in is justified, but I can see reason for taking it out. Probably sideboard it back in vs decks using Red or Blue? Fog has saved me a lot, but at the same time, a lot of the times I draw it i wish it was just a creature. I was reluctant to take it out, but hearing it from someone else makes me feel more comfortable about it. Is there a stronger option for safety vs Token decks? or should i just focus on pulling early hitters in place of mana accel and be more aggressive? There's 3 of them now that i have to deal with (2 assemble the legion and a selesnia populate) | ||

Assemble the Legion is a bad card until about the 3rd turn, if you can't interact with it it's a huge problem, obviously. Acidic Slime handles Assemble well. To get over a billion tokens, Overrun effects are generally the way to go. Not sure how the Selesnya deck is built, but if you really need token hate, Engineered Explosives/Ratchet Bomb clear tokens. | ||

I'm probably going to get destroyed of course, seeing as I didn't even read the cards and I'm just going to wing it. | ||

Either I'm getting worse or just in a pretty big rut. | ||

edit: the only streamer I can find is in the middle of a tournament so hopefully they will start a new one when they are done... otherwise if you have any good videos to suggest that aren't live let me know | ||

Channelfireball.com has draft videos, any of them are fine and they comment on their play. LSV is the most entertaining of the bunch and all of them with the exception of a few are all Pro Tour regulars. That's not to say they're infallible, but I think you can think about how you would play versus how they actually played to see any differences to go from there. | ||

Most of my mana problems are either too much land or too little land, so if the numbers are fine then I think that was solely bad luck.The land count is fine except I need to see the color break down before I can comment if you actually built your land base correctly.

I just watched a match where the player (who seemed good) had two people advising them, played perfectly (as far as I could tell) and lost. I did learn a few tricks though, and a few ideas about how to use some of the less straight-forward cards. I really want to see deck construction/drafting as I think that's where I need to improve the most. | ||
