This is the product that I came up with. I wanted the Red/Green because of the Jackals and saw that white was definitely good at combat tricks so I thought that it would be best to try it out. Not sure if anyone else has tried it out yet so here's my attempt at being original.

It looks like your deck build is more creature heavy than my build. How has the play test been for it?

Haven't had much chance to test it out.  Between working in Salaried Management and spending time with my wife and daughter, don't get a lot of opportunities to get out and play.  Pathmaker Initiate and Watchful Naga work great to advance cards from deck to hand.  Gets even faster with Battlefield Scavenger even just being on the field.  Once I hitmaximum land requirement, I can quasi cycle lands with the scavenger and any exert creature.

Fair enough, there's more than one way to speed up a deck. I guess as you're doing this in combat then it'll be done even faster. For example, the cycling, the extra draw, thinning the deck through pulling lands from the deck and even self mill tactics can be effective.

I've mostly played it against my infinite energy deck and so far they are 3 to 3 against each other.  It rolls through quickly and blossoming defense helps enormously.

Hexproof is always nice.
