Is there room for Wasteland? Maybe it's too bad with Suppression Field.

I like Ouphe in the SB but not main. Prelate seems better than Ouphe main.

I agree with beating Initiative via Removal...

Good luck with testing!

If you use that list, I would tweak the SB:

//Lands: 16
4 Savannah
4 Razorverge Thicket
4 Horizon Canopy
2 Temple Garden
2 Boseiju, Who Endures

Hexdrinker seems good. But is it too mana hungry for this deck? Especially with Winter Orb. It also clashes with Suppression Field.

Steel Leaf Champion, Knight of Autumn, and Questing Beast at...

Good point. I forget why I picked Spirit as the card to replace Thorn. It hates on Brainstorm decks, but so does half the deck, and so would some green cards. Green count and beatdown matter more.

Maindeck still has green count 16. Endurance can be cast on turn 2. Postboard when FoV goes in Ouphe goes in too, so green count 21 when Force is in. It should work but it's low.
Maybe that Thalia,...

Good comments.

Overall I think it will be important to balance between disruption for lands, disruption for spells, and disruption for creatures/permanents.

Thalia, Heretic Cathar also taps...

I've been looking more closely at the latest builds for Tier 1 green decks these days.

GW Depths
Tutors: 4 Green Sun's Zenith, 4 Elvish Reclaimer, 4 Crop Rotation, 4 Knight of the Reliquary

Fair point. Birds is better tempo for powering out turn 2 threats. I guess green creature decks usually play mana dorks and no Vials. Birds also pitches to FoV and Endurance, so it's less bad as a...

Never thought I would see the day.

What about Aether Vial instead? Since you have so many creatures? It plays well with Winter Orb and does not mind being ETB tapped with Root Maze.

Don't take that too personally. Lands is a nightmare matchup for Spheres.dec, since they don't cast many spells and play more lands than any other deck. Sometimes they have their own SB spheres too....

I like Thorn much better here. You can play it on turn 1 and it doesn't tax you. 3sphere is turn 2-3 and taxes half your cards. The good 3sphere decks can consistently play it Turn 1 (Mox + Dark Rit...

Cool idea.

Horizon Canopy seems better than Brushland.

It's a shame you can't run Land Grant, because that would work well with the no-fetch all-dual strategy, instead of playing Tier 3 duals....
