Deck Description

This is a standard Green devotion deck. Playing with great synergy with Experiment One and Ordeal of Nylea, Aspect of Hydra with Kalonian Tusker and other good devotion creatures.
I do think I have a problem with getting past that creatures, since I hardly have creatures with combat dodging mechanics.

Sideboard is mainly against control matchups. Since they mainly use non-basic lands to provide mana, they will be pretty much dead, and if they do decide to D-Sphere it, Polis Crusher will take care of it, and if they destroy it, well... That's why I have 3.

Thank you for taking the time see my deck. Comment if you have any feedback, criticism is greatly apreciated, and if you like the deck, make sure to let me know by hitting that +1.

How to Play

Some cute combos that are useful to get off:
- T1: Land, Experiment One;
- T2: Land, Burning-Tree Emissary (Evolve) into a Ordeal of Nylea, swing for 3;
- T3: Land, Burning-Tree Emissary into, either another Ordeal of Nylea or a Bow of Nylea, swing for 6 with the Experiment and the first Emissary get loads of lands;
- T4~Win: Keep the pressure, and unleash the Aspect of Hydra to pump the Experiment. Regenerate when needed.

Or,

- T1: Land, Elvish Mystic;
- T2: Land, Emissary into Kalonian Tusker;
- T3: Land (or not), swing for 4 and release the Hydra with 5 devotion. Dealing from 0 up to 15 damage;
-T4-Win: Keep up the pressure.

Or,

- T1: Land, Elvish Mystic;
- T2: Land, Setessan Oathsworn;
- T3: Land, Kalonian Tusker, swing and pump it twice with Aspect of Hydra. Hit for 1+5+2+5+2 = 15. Oh yes.

Deck discussion for Red Green Budget Aggro

Rakdos Cackler will be very helpful here. You want to hit hard and fast with a mana curve around 2. The big creatures you are running will just slow you down. Use red for your small fast creature, and then green for combat tricks. Also add bloodrush, like rubblebelt maaka to get damage through quickly

I'm doing this deck more around green than on red. Cackler is good, but it doesn't enable me to put out an Experiment, which I very much like. Thank you for the input, I've thought about adding bloodrush mechanic but I don't like it too, since it makes me discard so many useful creatures.
