Deck discussion for The Modern Day Vine

It kinda looks like it's still standard, lol. But it's REALLY strong in standard. And in a format with no valakut? 8-D

NOBODY tell me "ohman you should use the goyf!" Because I refuse to pay 100$ a pop for them. I don't plan on ever playing green in legacy, and should I ever, I'd buy them then. Definitely not for modern lol.

I decided to keep the land count fairly low, 24 as apposed to 25 because my highest casting cost is 4. I didn't know whether lotus cobras where really worth it in this format.. I consider it to be legacy without fow.

Kept squad hawks for shaman pitch, deck thinning, and vengevine recursion. all around great card!

elspeth, 'nuff said.

with a few doran decks going around, and other legendary creatures, metamorph proves really well. also she essentially adds 2 more copies of any creature in the deck.

considering adding swords, opinions?

spellskite is obvious.

KotR is really good here. I like him a lot.

Qasali, same deal.

I'm really considering GSZ. But don't know where to fit it.

And this was my rambling about this deck at 5 19 in the morning. (:
Advice is always welcomed.

I refuse to pay for Goyfs too...You really should go blow 400 bucks on them though.

Did you know that Elspeth IS Knight of the Reliquary.

Oh, too bad :(

You should check out my RUB for modern.

I can't post my new standard ideas yet, it's so frustrating. I really want some ISD on here already!!

You usally have 2-3 GSZ and 1-2 Dryad Arbor for it turn 1 GSZ to get a Dryad Arbor in these kind of decks but it is nice to see some new stuff ^^

<_<

You should use Goyf...

Anyway, Teeg is an awesome suggestion, especially since he'd fit snugly into the mana curve (and his ability won't screw you!).

GSZ i am considering, but I feel like dryad arbor is weak, honestly. He's reallllly good in NO rug, because he's a "free" creature for n.o., but in this.. meh. I don't cast him, so he doesn't trigger the vine :/

and I SHOULD use the goyf, sure, but I'm refusing. I'm being realistic lol.

and gaddock teeg is an excellent suggestion, thanks guys! (:

Dryad Arbor has very specialized uses. One is NO RUG, the other is 10L or 7L Stompy...I'd ditch it =/

GSZ sadly won't work with Teeg on the field, but I don't think you need it anyway with the Shaman.

Goyf is a great investment man...once you start delving into green Legacy...I won't say they're a MUST HAVE, but they sure as hell are useful =P

Once I get employed and have a steady cash flow, maybe :P
But at the moment I'm saving up for FOWs and Underground Seas (:
