It looksl like it could be a good deck, it's always hard for me to tell without hearing/seeing how the deck actually plays out.

The main thing that makes me uneasy is the low amount of land, and ramp in the deck. Most of the mono-green decks I see have about 24 lands in addition to a set of Llanowar Elves (or Birds of Paradise or what-have-you) and some sort of ramp spell. And that's in a 60 card deck.

With Dungrove Elders in your deck, you might do better having a few more lands anyway and using Cultivate instead of Overgrowth for your ramp. That way you have a better chance of having a bigger Elder while avoiding all the Enchantment hate that's out there.

thanks for the reply bro!

the deck relies on starting with llanowar elf or birds then getting out a leatherback on turn 2. typically i just keep building up my creatures and attack hard with a o.stampede. the bees are fun to pump up for flying damage (good for attacking & blocking).

as of today, i've added another llanowar (now 4x) and took out two obstinate baloths along with my wall of tanglecord.

im considering utilizing rampaging baloths and primeval titans.

i havent had much of a mana problem yet, so im not worried too much about ramping? i will have to sideboard some rampant growths and see how it plays out however...

Primeaval Titans can only help your deck, especially considering the Elders and the Primordial Hydra you already have. And personally, I prefer the Raging Baloths to the Obstinates, though I might suggest sideboarding the Obstinates incase of a control deck (as you may have already been thinking).

Regardless, I think you have a cool deck here and I hope it continues to do well for you :)

Here's a deck I have been playing that has a similar goal, let me know what you think.
