I feel like everyone has built this deck before, but since I finally actually put it together today I feel the need to put the decklist down for later purposes. I'm not necessarly looking for advice, but I'm still open to suggestions. The deck is plenty casual (in my opinion), although card draw is a little lacking from my petulant history of not stocking up on Greater Good ever. No, seriously, I'm probably up to ten or twelve decks which would probably profit from one of them.

Anyway, the deck is casual and the theme is treefolk/trees/branches/vines/those wood things. All of the cards have some kind of tree or treekfolk or something of the kind in its image or rules text. Even the basic lands do.



Notable missing cards:
1) Greater Good: its big and bad, and draws cards. Now, just to pay ~$8 for a each of a few of them.

2) Treefolk: Kalonian Twingrove, Woodfall Primus, Sapling of Colfenor, and Black Poplar Shaman are all missing from my collecting currently or are in several different decks already. I'll place these in just as soon as I buy them.

3) I ran out of steam pretty quickly here, so my list is going to have to be short for now.

Thanks for taking a gander at it. It won't be great, but I get an itch periodically to play Treefolk.

What about Assault Formation? Acts as Doran #2 while also providing you global pump.

Nemata, Grove Guardian is a treefolk as well.
If you're running Cairn Wanderer and Mirror Entity, Chameleon Colossus seems worth a look.

Belbe's Armor - seems very strong here.
Slagwurm Armor - also seems good.

I'm not convinced Greater Good would be especially good here. Treefolk tend to be low power, so your card draw would not be very inspiring compared to your discard in many cases.

Also I'm going to assume "Liquify" in your list meant to be "Lignify".

EDIT: Song of the Dryads.

Yeah...fixed. Typing error I didn't even notice. Thanks for the catch.

Cards in the deck need to either be treefolk, do something for treefolks, or have tree(s)/branch/vine type thing in the artwork. These don't, but certainly would be fairly good if the theme didn't get in the way. Assault Formation was one of my first picks, but then later settled on narrower deck restrictions to create a more unique deck.

Nemata would probably be alright, but I'd have to give some serious thought about what to take out in its place. Too many high cost treefolk might be bad. I'll see if I have one. Chameleon Colossus is tasty though, but I already know I have no more of those in my collection.

Verdeloth, Timber Protector, and Mirror Entity help push Greater Good into my favor for many of the treefolk, but a surprising number of the ones I've picked hit equal exchange (meaning drawing four cards; and in that case...something like 12 or more if you don't include the few which can pump themselves). I'm so low on card draw, virtually any card draw I can get is better than nothing.

Song of the Dryad is another I should have, but I'm not certain where its been placed. It might be in my cube or something, come to think of it...I'll have to look. Until then, Lignify will have to do.

Thanks for the suggestions.

i hate it

I all seriousness, I agree we have all wanted a big awesome Treefolk deck. I can't think of any ideas really as you seem to have it covered. I built my goblin deck for similar reason to you building this, just cuz! haha. Hopefully next time they face off, you wont get indestructible out immediately haha

Yeah, that seemed kind of a fluke. After you had left, Rosemary drew into a Decimate and made Timber Protector vulnerable again. She followed that up with a conspired, overloaded Mizzium Mortars to wipe my field. She might have had me, if I hadn't been sandbagging a Ghoultree to pair up with my Indomitable Ancients with Doran after she did that.

Ghoultree is so awesome. ZOMBIE TREEFOLK? I mean, seriously, probably the closest thing to a Black Ent I'll ever get in Magic.

I totally know that feeling. Treefolk is one of my favorite tribes, I like playing with them now and then but the deck usually isn't too exciting so I dismantle it.

Peeking at your list, Descendants' Path is one of my favorite cards to put in tribal decks and would fit here too. Luckily there is a tree in the artwork too.

Primitive Etchings is a tree too and fits in well thematically - its a tree that likes it when other trees joins the party. Not too hot though with only 26 creatures in the deck.

Basically why I decided to put both of those to the side and not play them. I didn't want to fill the deck with useless treefolk, so just about all of the useful ones are already in there. Without the printing of a number of more good ones, I think Descendants' Path and Primitive Etchings will stay out.

I'm pretty sure treefolk might be my favorite tribe. I've tried decks of just about every supported tribe--not all in EDH, but a bunch in 60-card Magic--and treefolk have always just been...cool. I don't know how to describe it.
