For my build i chose consistency over power, unlike cloysterd. You had plenty of good green, which is rounded out by the insane Garruk. the white was very solid, although there were not as many kithkins as i could have liked. I started to run out of playables towards the end, but i noticed there were a decent amount of giants so i added the 1-drop elvish handservent.
