Deck Description

My very first two decks where mono blue and mono green...the starterdecks from the 8th edition. Back then I never was able to make full use of the blue spells, but the green deck was always to my liking. Perhaps this is one of the reasons I like green so much, and why I built this deck.
At the beginning this deck was more monoG stompy deck that used things like "Dungroove Elder" and "Rancor" to beat it's opponents. This changed rapidly, into what it's now, when I discovered "Primalcrux".

I own all those cards and I have played this deck it many times. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to further improve this deck.

How to Play

Ramp with "Arbor Elf", Utopia Sprawl" and "Rampant Growth" to get "Primalcrux" or "Khalni Hydra" out as fast as possible. If you don't get them "Skinshifter" combined with "Blessings of Nature" will do the job as well.

God Hand: 3x Forest, 1x Arbor Elf, 1x Utopia Sprawl, 1x Leatherback Bacloth/ 1x Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers, 1xPrimalcrux
T1: Forest -> Arbor Elf
T2: Forest -> Utopia Sprawl; Untap with Arbor Elf -> Leatherback Baloth/ Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers
T3: Forest -> Primalcrux as 11/11 else any cc3 creature or card that you might have drawn until now.
T4: If you had the luck of drawing Khalni Hydra play it now and attack with Primalcrux as 19/19 trample.

Deck discussion for MonoG: Primalcrux

Primalcrux works good with Khalni Hydra

other than that, my eldrazi ramp is pretty good

Thanks for the advise, I changed from "Living Hive" to "Khalni Hydra" :)

If you can afford to get them, 2 or 3 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx will help a lot.
Voyaging Satyr acts as Arbor Elf number 5-8, but unlike the Elf, the Satyr can untap Nykthos.
Some of the hybrid creatures from the Lorwyn / Shadowmoor block might interest you. Wistful Selkie draws you a card when it enters the battlefield; Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers is a 3/4 with vigilance; and Boggart Ram-Gang is a 3/3 with haste and Wither.
Strangleroot Geist has Undying, so it'll stick around a little longer than the rest, supplying its {G}{G} even after being killed once.

Thank you for those suggestions.
I added 3 "Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx" instead of 3 Forests, that was a pretty easy change.
4 "Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers" as replacement for "Dungroove Elder" and 2 "Strangleroot Geist" instead of 2 "Skinshifter" (The shifter is to flexible to remove him completely in my oppinion) made the rest of the changes

Just remember, Arbor Elf can't untap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
