Deck Reviews / Legacy Mono-Green Creature Ramp
« on: April 29, 2013, 05:17:44 pm »
I'm modifying an old green ramp deck for a local weekly legacy tournament. The past weeks have featured predominately mostly blue control decks, so I'm hoping that I can outrace them. The sideboard has several uncounterable creatures that may be enough to push out damage and generally frustrate my opponent.
The idea is to either drop mana-producing creatures and/or toss out Elvish Spirit Guide early on to fuel fatties, or sacrifice them to Natural Order to bring out a big threat (usually Progenitus). The land count is low, but initial playtesting isn't indicating any mana problems at all. I just want to fine-tune this before unveiling a surprise deck.
The deck can be found here:

But I'll post it here to make it easier. Any and all suggestions are welcome!
