The Ring is there only to provide regeneration without having to splash another color. Granted, the abundant growth allows other colors to be used, but I wanted to keep this mono green. With an Arbor Elf out, I can evolve the Gyre Sage turn 3 with the Deadbridge, or plop an Increasing Savagery on her, which is the plan.However, yes, I was considering dropping the Sage for something else that will ramp. Possibly Avacyn's Pilgrim, but I'm not sure. It's hard to find ramp in Standard if you don't use a second colour. Any suggestions?
