    Thrun, the Last Troll

    Hey everyone, I finally decided to get off my sorry ass and build an EDH deck. I decided to build Thrun, as I procrastinated on building a Rofellos deck until he got banned, so I have a decent amount of strong EDH cards. I'm not using cards from either the French banned list (Top, Sol Ring, Crucible) or the American banned list (Fastbond), and I'd like to keep it competitive, but fun. That said, here it is.
    General:
    Thrun, the Last Troll
    Lands:
    29 Snow-Covered Forest
    Yavimaya Hollow
    Mishra's Factory
    Scrying Sheets
    Mutavault
    Dryad Arbor
    Gaea's Cradle
    Treetop Village
    Wasteland
    Strip Mine
    Ghost Quarter
    Petrified Field
    Mouth of Ronom
    Planeswalkers:
    Garruk Wildspeaker
    Enchantments:
    Asceticism
    Gaea's Touch-->May be replaced with Hunting Wilds due to the high number of tech lands that I run. Thoughts?
    Greater Good
    Defense of the Heart
    Sylvan Library
    Fecundity-->Someone made the point that it is too abusable by other players. Is this a valid point, or no? Even so, is it worth the effect?
    Artifacts:
    Birthing Pod
    Mimic Vat
    Expedition Map
    Sword of Fire and Ice
    Sword of Feast and Famine
    Sword of Light and Shadow
    Skullclamp
    Creatures:
    Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
    Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
    Terastodon
    Woodfall Primus
    Regal Force
    Avenger of Zendikar
    Krosan Tusker
    Panglacial Wurm
    Brutalizer Exarch
    Seedguide Ash
    Acidic Slime
    Willow Satyr
    Wickerbough Elder
    Eternal Witness
    Yavimaya Elder
    Fierce Empath
    Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary
    Sakura-Tribe Elder
    Viridian Emissary
    Sylvan Ranger
    Sorceries:
    Genesis Wave
    Green Sun's Zenith
    Praetor's Counsel
    Tooth and Nail
    Desert Twister-->This is one of those no-brainer inclusions, right?
    Rude Awakening
    Soul's Majesty
    Primal Command
    Restock
    Harmonize
    Skyshroud Claim
    Explosive Vegetation
    Natural Order
    Cultivate
    Recollect
    Sylvan Scrying
    Regrowth
    Nature's Lore
    Rampant Growth
    Instants:
    Slice in Twain
    Beast Within
    Krosan Grip
    Worldly Tutor
    Noxious Revival
    Summoner's Pact

    I have read the list. Pretty decent. But instead of one "Sword of something and something" i would expect one green enchantment

    It's a thought; it just seems relatively low-impact.

    Here's a thought; I was thinking of cutting the manlands and other techlands to further support Gaea's Touch. Any opinions?

    It depends... how much mana you usually require for smooth play? With eldrazi in deck its a good choice, but only with Eye of ugin which acts as a tutoring. Basically removing manlands and adding more basics makes you less vulnerable to Back to basics, but more vulnerable to early attacks.
