This deck was slow to get going, and although the plan did work - and the creatures got a new life - they were just crushed again next turn. The kill all removal was not reliable enough. My main observation is that you should use proliferate to increase the strength of the undying creatures, not try and suppress them.

I'm going to try it out tomorrow and will post the results. I'm really interested too, as it's taking advantage of the -1/-1 counter mechanic, with one cancelling out the other.
This deck has turned out to be a lot of fun to play, and very powerful. It's a great situation to declare that you're lobbing a goblin at your opponent, and even better for it to do 15 damage for 3 mana (Grenade, Reverberate, Chandra)
That's a good point. That or maybe "Mayor of Avabruck" for some free tokens when he transforms.
Also, the biggest improvement with Mimic Vat is insurance against Essence of the Wild getting killed before he had time to "lock in" with copies. With the Mimic Vat, I can take an Imprint and try again next turn.
Played some games with this deck, and have reworked it. Main changes: • Moorland Haunt was not powerful enough to justify splashing Blue. -> Replaced with more Green/White. • Weak to Flying / Intimidate / Hexproof -> Added Mimic Vat which can copy all of these (especially if forced to die with Beast within) -> This works especially well with Parallel Lives
Thanks Tone! I've taken your advice as those Viridian Emissary's were too expensive and didn't guarantee mana.
