Ponder > Serum Visions
Also Garruk on 19 lands? Has that been working out?
4 Top without CB is too many. |

I do have to agree with you that Ponder may be better then Serum Visions.

If I take the Garruks out then I would be able to fit in the CBs. Taking the Garruks out may be risky. I'll do some more testing with out the Garruks.

I think you are underestimating Treetop Villages,
1. I use them against control since they can't do much besides drop a needle.
2. Its a 3/3 trampler for two mana then can end the game.
I also would like to know whether a Mystic Enforcer would fit in here? I just don't know what I would take out to put them in. I also debated wether Lignifys would fit. |

I have nothing constructive to add about the deck, but you talk like David Sklansky.
Do you see why? |

| Treetop is TERRIBLE. You need all your drops and village hinders that to a crippling point. And yes Enforcer should be in here over werebear |

I did some testing online and came up with adjustments and here is the new list:
// Lands
3 [ON] Polluted Delta
3 [ON] Windswept Heath
3 [IA] Island
1 [IN] Forest
3 [R] Tundra
4 [B] Tropical Island
1 [CST] Plains
// Creatures
4 [OD] Nimble Mongoose
4 [OD] Werebear
3 [FUT] Tarmogoyf
1 [OD] Mystic Enforcer
// Spells
4 [5E] Brainstorm
4 [AL] Force of Will
3 [NE] Daze
4 [LRW] Ponder
1 [7E] Counterspell
3 [U] Swords to Plowshares
3 [CS] Counterbalance
3 [CHK] Sensei's Divining Top
3 [JU] Mental Note
2 [DIS] Spell Snare
// Sideboard
SB: 2 [OD] Mystic Enforcer
SB: 3 [10E] Pithing Needle
SB: 3 [US] Worship
SB: 3 [PS] Meddling Mage
SB: 4 [OV] Hydroblast
What do you think of that. It's obviously better. I could probably still use some work though. Give me as much criticism and suggestions as you can please. It's much appreciated. |

| I love the way you took out 1 Tarmogoyf, the cornerstone of the deck, and added 1 random Mystic Enforcer. leave the Tarmogoyf alone, they are happiest in fours. |

I was waiting for this comment haha. They do go good in quads. I will make the adjustment.

the only reason I am using deltas is because i own deltas but not any strands. eventually i will trade them over for strands. |
