Lol, yeah. Forgot to RTFC before I went suggesting changes just to accomodate Vines of Vastwood.

All I really meant was that bending the colors a little bit towards white or green wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, if there were significant gains to be made from shifting slightly away from red. After further investigation, I agree that VoV doesn't count as hugely "significant gains." Hehe.

On the other hand, it seems flexible, and I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say it's worse than Magma Jet. Tempo gains are the type of thing this deck is interested in, but Zoo's approach is often too straight-forward to support much trickery. And as people mention, the kicker is not always necessary, it's just extra gravy. I think the card honestly has potential, but I wouldn't make any crazy cuts to fit it in.
