Deck Description

Thank your for looking at my deck :)
I really liked a few plant cards, especially Phytohydra. So I decided to try something with more plant cards and I found out that they are pretty good at ramping. The ramping they provide is pretty consistent and has the ability to explode into loads of mana, which makes playing it a lot of fun, but I should probably add more synergy cards with that. Eventually Phytohydra was the only multicolored card so I took a painful decision to remove it and add Protean Hydra instead.
Also Assault Formation is huge in this deck I wish I could play it more, and unfortunately I do not have a way to retrieve it like Chord of Calling would do for a creature. With that I also added Tower Defense, but I still have to see how useful it will be without Assault Formation and if it then is still worth playing.

You can help me:
I am not sure about Gatecreeper Vine, it is currently in my sideboard. I think it works really well with Avenger of Zendikar, but apart from that I think that there are better plant defenders. Something similar is going on with Wall of Roots, the early mana could be nice however, I will regret putting on the counters when I get that Assault Formation. Please leave a comment if you have suggestions for this situations, but all other recommendations are also welcome.

How to Play

What I really like about the plants is that they provide early defense way better than for instance Arbor Elf does, but in general it results in less mana. Luckily this deck does require less mana because plants are not that expensive since they are mostly defenders.

Your early game will be utilizing this plant greatness by planting strong defenses from the start which will also provide some decent ramp for you.

From your mid game you will focus on actually winning the game, and this deck is designed to do so dependent of a few cards. Fetching Assault Formation is a very interesting one instantly turning all your strong defenses in hard hitting strong defenses, and you should have a few of them built up in the early game.
Another way which is a bit more direct is by playing a fat creature: Avenger of Zendikar, Genesis Hydra, Protean Hydra. These will give a huge boost to your board state for you to win the game or wait until you get that Assault Formation.
