Love the vid and how it’s not the stereotypical Sylvan Library, Elvish Piper, Great Henge. Shows great ways to get similar effects without breaking the bank.
and here i was about to point out that the king of magic himself didn’t put elvish piper in the video and instead put an arguably worse version. nothing against howlpack piper, amazing card for wolf and werewolf tribal👌
I always love ashaya as a must include because not only does she help you ramp out bigger threats, but also she protects your creatures from things like cyclonic rift.
It's too slow for me. I run a t0 storm. Start with Leyline of Anticipation, play mox sapphire tap to play Ancestral Recall, play spell book, memnite, ornithopter, black lotus for black, dark ritual, then end with Tendrils of Agony on your turn going first.
Genesis wave is by far my favorite green spell of all time. It ENDS games the instant you play it in most cases. I also really dig Defense of the Heart. It's my favorite way to sneak in huge creatures if someone is running wide. Asceticism is also another green card that I think could see more play in Commander. The hexproof is nice but the regen is clutch.
Hell yeah Ghalta! One of my fave big green cards. I think my absolute “can’t stop playing” green card right now is Silverback Elder. Nothing say big green like BEEG MONKE
Parallel Lives scute swarm, usually gets the job done, although i usually go a go-shintai with parallel lives, annointed procession, cathar's crusade and blessed sanctuary. top it off with elrond's epiphany and time warp to get a bit more done.
BRO! Rampant Rejuvenator is the exact kind of effect I love! I just recently bought a Sporocyst to go in my Falco Spara, Pactweaver deck. This card is definitely getting heavily considered.
Greater good is amazing, especially in my omnath, locus of mana deck where you can repeatedly drop omnath back in after sacrificing it. That also works pretty well if ghalta is your commander. It also works really well with death's presence, where you can start really racking up the power. On another note, mana dorks like the llanowar elves, fyndhorn elves, elvish mystic and birds of paradise are common includes. Wild growth, utopia sprawl, fertile ground, and wolfwillow haven are my preferred green "rocks". Three visits, nature's lore, rampant growth, and sometimes farseek are also common staples. All that aside, I do like most of your picks. There was a lot of interesting things to consider that I had not previously
eldrazis are amazing in green. awakening zone. from beyond. emrakul aeons torn. heartbeat of spring and vernal bloom. the rest of cards can be expensive eldrazi. half deck is mana doulbers other half is eldrazi. also pretty consistent since it is 50 50 ratio. of eldrazi and mana doulbers. can also put in primal command or jaheiras blessing against more aggressive decks. maybe healer of the glade. i almost forgot awaken the woods. can double up as also anti agression. gives a horde of tokens than can block or generate mana a 2 in 1 card.
I used to play explore in all my green decks, but it missed one too many times, so it got cut except in my landfall. Tireless Provisioner is my #2 green staple behind Sylvan Library.
For my part I would have saved one spot on my top 10 fave green cards for Quirion/Scryb Ranger. Those 2 cards can do so many broken things in the right deck! Saryth also loves them! I also just built a Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea commander deck, I just love casting Ghalta for free! Seriously pretty much all the cards you listed are in that deck... If I have Greater Good out most often I don't even swing with my Ghalta, 12 cards for 2 mana thank you!
A green card I use a lot, in decks that are 3+ colors, is Circuitous Route. I tend to use Gates as dual lands in those sort of decks, so I find it to be a good color-fixer/accelerator without breaking the bank.
This is not a green card nor a spell but Bonders' Enclave works so well with green. Another green card I like is Choose Your Weapon, pair it up with Unnatural Growth and you got one beefcake of a creature.
For me, Allosaurus Shepherd is my must-use. Mono-green becomes a pain to counter when I have that out. I don’t even play elves, I use it for the counter-proofing
Ghalta is my favourite Commander (and the first commander deck I built). I also like Augur of Autumn is a similar slot as Oracle. It doesn’t give you the extra land drop, but lands off the top and with the right board state it also works as a Vizier of the Menagerie/Garruck’s Horde
I run an Azusa landfall deck and has most of these in it but I definitely need to grab a couple of the others that were mentioned and throw them in there. Cuz why not.
Can never go wrong with Abundance. 4 mana 2 G 2 Any and allows to choose whether or not you want a land or nonland on every draw as well as being a replacement effect for draws so you can never be drawn out. Just fail to find if said nonland or land card doesn't exist in the deck
Greater Good is usually the Endgame in my Meren deck. It hits the field, I flip my deck into my graveyard as I find my combo pieces and get a shit load of experience counters in the process
My favorite green card is definitely Fast Bond or Channel. The amount of tempo you gain from those is ridiculous! Play a Lotus for green and cast both and it's gg.
I came here looking for fresh ideas and I'm not even joking you only play one card that I don't use. But now that I found out about that one card I like it and I'm probably going to use it. Lol
I love getting down a turn 3 Ghalta on Arena. Turn 1: Land, Llanowar Elves Turn 2: Land, Gwenna Turn 3: Giganotosaurus, Ghalta, and maybe also a land but it's not even needed at this point.
Consider swapping out Mul Daya in favor of Augur of Autumn. You lose put on the extra land drop, but don't flash your top card to opponents, and once Coven is online, you can also topdeck cast creatures.
Curious why Howlpack Piper over Elvish Piper? The can't be countered part is nice but I still think one green at instant speed feels better, but curious what others think :)
Ghalta is my co.manfet in my "big stompy " deck. I have a combo with him that I haven't gotten to play yet with path breaker Ibex and exponential growth. For when you absolutely have to kill everyone at the table.
@@kinglukemtg I've been tuning it up a bit and the deck just wrecks. Tons of fun. A lot of other people want to use the other commander from the box to build around (Shalai and Hallar) which is fine if you like combo-auto-win games. Bright-Palms is more of a "my creatures are huge... have trample... will double their counters very soon... and want to kill you" kind of deck.
No Kodama of the East Tree? It's the biggest value green card I can think of that's not Food Chain or Birthing Pod! Ghalta is amazing, respect on that.
Love Mirris guile. Wish they would print it more, I only have one and it is kinda pricey. I like it cause it doesn't steal the game like sylvan library. Card selection 👌
I think k soul of the harvest should be differentiated as more of a staple in reanimat or cheat out situations. It just doesn't have the condition of must cast so for w more mana its far far more versitile
my personal green staples for every deck: obsuring haze and fog, bind, beast within, harmonice, cultivate and kodamas reach. that actually non of those appeared on your list makes me think :/
I need to play Explore more and this video is a reminder of that so thank you. My green staples: - Sylvan Library - The Great Henge - Elder Gargaroth - Traverse the Outlands - Bane of Progress - Heroic Intervention
I feel like Gary wildspeaker and Nissa who shakes dat azz should be on this list. Drawing cards equal to a creature's power and doubling mana production is nice.
I 99% of the time play green decks. I honestly have never used one of those cards. Would love to hear your input on my main deck if there is a way to send it to you.
JUST SUBSCRIBED HOMIE. I LIKE WHAT YOUR DOING HERE AND YOUR "SHORTS" VIDEOS ARE FUNNY AS FUCK. ANYWAYS... WHAT ABOUT "THE WORLD SPELL"... CUZ I THINK WORLD SPELL IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED GREEN CARDS IN STANDARD RIGHT NOW. IM TELLING YA BRO, BEING ABLE TO JUST DROP ANY TWO PERMANENTS (not saga's) WHICH IS USUALLY CREATURES. ANY TWO PERMANENTS AT ONCE IS USUALY A GAME ENDER FOR MY OPPONENTS. BACK IN THE DAY "TOOTH AND NAIL" WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARDS AND FOR AWHILE AT THE TIME IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL DECK TYPES YOU COULD RUN.
I like the card for higher power level, but I don't use it most of the time, because it puts me so far ahead or in later game, I do not like waiting for upkeep triggers. Love the card just to strong most of the time.
Love the vid and how it’s not the stereotypical Sylvan Library, Elvish Piper, Great Henge. Shows great ways to get similar effects without breaking the bank.
This guy gets it lol, thank you homie
and here i was about to point out that the king of magic himself didn’t put elvish piper in the video and instead put an arguably worse version. nothing against howlpack piper, amazing card for wolf and werewolf tribal👌
and no craterhoof behemoth ether! :D thats thumbs up from me
Exactly this comment. Was happy not to see the Piper
elvish piper? honestly i never see anyone play that card.
Honestly really like that you make videos like these- you're like the most down-to-earth mtg content creator out there (and funniest)
GHALTA! The epitome of mono green stompy! Love the videos too!
Thank you homie
I never knew I needed this kind of content until now, thanks brother 💯 Fellow Ramper over here from the Philippines 🇵🇭🎶✨️
I always love ashaya as a must include because not only does she help you ramp out bigger threats, but also she protects your creatures from things like cyclonic rift.
Cheating creatures with howlpack piper's ability also works as a defense against counterspells since you're not casting the creatures.
For me, Veil of Summer. Amazing green "counterspell" against counterspells that lets you draw immediatly, so you're not down on card advantage either.
Why play 4 mana cryptic command when you can play 1 mana cryptic command
You honestly can't go wrong with green stompy, hard agreed on all these picks and love that they won't break the bank
It's too slow for me. I run a t0 storm. Start with Leyline of Anticipation, play mox sapphire tap to play Ancestral Recall, play spell book, memnite, ornithopter, black lotus for black, dark ritual, then end with Tendrils of Agony on your turn going first.
Completely forgot i had a howlpack piper laying around, saw some cards I didn't know even existed, nice video brother.
Thanks homie
*Heroic intervention.. Aspect of Mongoose... Spidersilk armor.* I love these baby makers
Saryth is so RIDICULOUSLY useful. It’s protection and a great aggro boost! It slots into everything!
Genesis wave is by far my favorite green spell of all time. It ENDS games the instant you play it in most cases. I also really dig Defense of the Heart. It's my favorite way to sneak in huge creatures if someone is running wide. Asceticism is also another green card that I think could see more play in Commander. The hexproof is nice but the regen is clutch.
Your shorts are absolutely hilarious glad to see some long form content too, you earned a sub with notis
Heroic intervention is probably my number one green card. Vigor is another one I really love
Great video man. Can you make a video like that for all colors? These types of videos are super helpful to discover some underrated cards.
Goreclaw is another. Makes creatures cheaper and gives mass trample. Gold
Sick video, my friend is building a green commander so i shared him your video with the sick recommendations thanks G.

BRO! Rampant Rejuvenator is the exact kind of effect I love! I just recently bought a Sporocyst to go in my Falco Spara, Pactweaver deck. This card is definitely getting heavily considered.
"plus it helps u pipe down these bad bitches" lmao. love to see this kind of format
Everyone here's the joke, only certain people get it lol. Thanks homie
I just found this card called gaias cradle in my cousins old cards he gave me and it’s a broken land. Love all these old cards.
That card is worth Hella money 💰
Lands are technically colorless though.
@@joebaumgart1146 I’m still learning the game lol I love all the vintage cards though.
Great video ;) Keep up the good stuff!
Love the video! Would personally watch more stuff with you just talking some good magic

Overrun, fog, harmonize, rancor. Love using those green cards
eldrazis are amazing in green.

the rest of cards can be expensive eldrazi.
half deck is mana doulbers other half is eldrazi. also pretty consistent since it is 50 50 ratio. of eldrazi and mana doulbers.

More of these please. These are perfect
Can you do white next??

i love saryth also, i use her in my craterhoof deck!
Llanowar Visionary is one that I started jamming into any green deck I can. Always ok to play at any point in the game.
I love mosswort bridge turn 1, it gives me a little thing to look forward to later. Also, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is in my top cards ever
Gaia's blessing, love countering mill
This is not a green card nor a spell but Bonders' Enclave works so well with green. Another green card I like is Choose Your Weapon, pair it up with Unnatural Growth and you got one beefcake of a creature.
For me, Allosaurus Shepherd is my must-use. Mono-green becomes a pain to counter when I have that out. I don’t even play elves, I use it for the counter-proofing
I love playing Jaheira's Respite in my Temur deck. There are at least 1 tokens deck in my pod all the time, managed to politics my way into 7 lands
Ghalta is my favourite Commander (and the first commander deck I built).
I also like Augur of Autumn is a similar slot as Oracle. It doesn’t give you the extra land drop, but lands off the top and with the right board state it also works as a Vizier of the Menagerie/Garruck’s Horde
Greater Good is great synergy with Rampant Rejuvenator
Green= ramp+big baddies
I run an Azusa landfall deck and has most of these in it but I definitely need to grab a couple of the others that were mentioned and throw them in there. Cuz why not.
1:04 lmfaoooo I was waiting for that

GREATER GOOD
Seriously a great card in high MV creature decks like my dragons
Sac an Ur Dragon to draw 10/ discard 3 is too good!!!
My favorite green card is definitely Fast Bond or Channel. The amount of tempo you gain from those is ridiculous! Play a Lotus for green and cast both and it's gg.

Right! Those are the good stuffs!
Good video. How about one featuring a green deck using these cards with some others you run to make a complete package?
I love getting down a turn 3 Ghalta on Arena.
Turn 1: Land, Llanowar Elves
Turn 2: Land, Gwenna
Turn 3: Giganotosaurus, Ghalta, and maybe also a land but it's not even needed at this point.
Lol I didn't see the green deck at first so I heard Luke's voice.
First.
I'm gonna start with a mana crypt.
Sareth is really fun when you pair her with fynn the fangbearer,
Consider swapping out Mul Daya in favor of Augur of Autumn. You lose put on the extra land drop, but don't flash your top card to opponents, and once Coven is online, you can also topdeck cast creatures.
Great list. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I can agree with this list if it was for big green deck. Otherwise no. But no Krosan Grip or Beast Within?
Turn 1 drop Burgeoning, play lands from your hand whenever an opponent plays a land. start dropping your big spells by turn 3.
I have been throwing rites of flourishing in every green deck and haven't looked back yet
Curious why Howlpack Piper over Elvish Piper? The can't be countered part is nice but I still think one green at instant speed feels better, but curious what others think :)
"Colossal Dreadmaw" is the ONLY green card anyone ever needs. It is number 1 through 10 on my list.
These vids are that good good 👌
Ghalta is my co.manfet in my "big stompy " deck. I have a combo with him that I haven't gotten to play yet with path breaker Ibex and exponential growth. For when you absolutely have to kill everyone at the table.
Commander. Sorry
Life's Legacy is pretty sweet too. I throw out a 10/10 giga, the people get scared, then i sacrifice it to draw 10 cards, now they scareder.
Put together a Bright-Palms "Backup" deck yet? Sounds like the kind of deck you would enjoy playing.
Funny u say that, that is the precon I bought from March of the machines
@@kinglukemtg I've been tuning it up a bit and the deck just wrecks. Tons of fun.

Some good stuff here. How do you feel about Mirri’s Guile?
Love Mirris guile. Wish they would print it more, I only have one and it is kinda pricey. I like it cause it doesn't steal the game like sylvan library. Card selection 👌
@@kinglukemtg Same, I only own one. I’d def buy more if they reprinted it. Keep up the great content man!

Hey here. What is your opinnion about Craterhoof Behemoot? Do you consider it core in green?
That's a cool ass shirt😮
Awesome video
my personal green staples for every deck: obsuring haze and fog, bind, beast within, harmonice, cultivate and kodamas reach.
that actually non of those appeared on your list makes me think :/
King Timmy preaching the gospel of Ghalta
I need to play Explore more and this video is a reminder of that so thank you.
My green staples:
- Sylvan Library
- The Great Henge
- Elder Gargaroth
- Traverse the Outlands
- Bane of Progress
- Heroic Intervention
The perfect deck imo runs about 24 lands and 36 explores.
sandwurm convergance and birthing pod for me :P
I feel like Gary wildspeaker and Nissa who shakes dat azz should be on this list. Drawing cards equal to a creature's power and doubling mana production is nice.
Every green deck I build I can't seem to get away from nature's lore, three visits and farseek
Cultivator Colossus is one that im eyeing
I see we have similar tastes in green I wonder if that'll be true for the other colors in this series
Surprised Colossal Dreadmaw isn't in this list 😔 even in non Dino decks, I still wanna run 6/6 for 6 with trample best statline
Will you also do your own commander deck breakdowns?
Howlpack piper is more than two per turn until you have no mana or werewolf or wolf in hand really strong.
Nice.
I 99% of the time play green decks. I honestly have never used one of those cards. Would love to hear your input on my main deck if there is a way to send it to you.
"I cast Apex Devastator."
"What?! It's in your deck?! But you're playing Golgari revi-
"I cast. Apex. Devastator."
Did last March of the ents drop before this video ?

Verdant suns avatar is top 1 for me
Budget Craterhoof, let’s get it
Why not Elvish Piper? Ability is cheaper and transforming blocks ability?
I might get greater good in my cammander mono green devotion deck 😅
Do one for every color
That green 🍀 build
Seed time! When I found out I could get an extra turn at the cost of someone casting a blue spell, oh baby!
Do red! and the others lol
I play Constant Mists in almost all my Green decks because against combat decks it's a wincon
How do you feel about Sylvan library?
I like the card for higher power level, but I don't use it most of the time, because it puts me so far ahead or in later game, I do not like waiting for upkeep triggers. Love the card just to strong most of the time.
Where can I buy the shirt you're wearing?
Howlpack piper? I prefer Elvish piper. Same effect for 1 mana.
Exploration does not provide card advantage. Before and after the spell resolves, the number of cards you can access is the same. It's a cantrip.
