Deck Strategy
Concept
A green-white midrange deck that uses the user's collection of Standard-legal rare and mythic cards to generate value through +1/+1 counters, token synergy, and powerful finishers.
Synergies
- Germination Practicum gives each creature a +1/+1 counter on entry, making early drops like Pawpatch Recruit quickly grow into threats.
- Loot, Exuberant Explorer ramps and draws cards, while Fecund Greenshell creates token creatures when lands enter, fueling the board.
- Moonshaker Cavalry and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant provide massive haste-based finishers that can end the game in a single attack.
- Raise the Past can return all creatures from the graveyard after a board wipe, turning Sunfall into a one-sided reset.
Mulligan Strategy
Keep hands with at least two lands and a two-drop or ramp spell. Hands with only expensive spells or no early plays should be mulliganed.
Game Plan
- Early turns: Play Pawpatch Recruit or Loot to establish board presence and ramp. Use Anoint with Affliction or Destroy Evil to remove early threats.
- Mid game: Deploy Germination Practicum and Fecund Greenshell to build a wide board of growing creatures. Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines doubles enter-the-battlefield triggers, providing extra value.
- Late game: Use Sunfall to clear the opponent's board, then follow with Raise the Past to rebuild. Finish with Moonshaker Cavalry, Ghalta, or Titan of Industry.
Weaknesses
The deck is vulnerable to fast aggro if it misses early plays. Heavy removal can disrupt the creature base. Graveyard hate shuts down Raise the Past. The reliance on combat makes it weak to fog effects.
