I run an R/G land-destruction deck that relies on accel into a secondturn defacto 'rain and follow up with 3cc or 4cc beats. The deck list lands: 20 a mix of forests and mountains including: 4x stomping ground  4x wooded foothills  creatures: 24 1cc 4x birds of paradise  4x llanowar elves  2cc 4x tarmogoyf  3cc 4x boggart ram-gang  4x ohran viper  4cc: 4x flametongue kavu  other spells: 16 4x rancor  4x tarfire  (will be lightning bolt eventually. 4x stone rain  4x molten rain  I run alternatives to the LD in my sb for the aggro matchup ('clasm and sulphur elemental  ) My question is whether to replace ohran viper with countryside crusher  .? Its bigger (potentially much bigger and protects against manaflood. Viper with rancor is great, but viper without rancor feels rather lacking. Also: Is 8 accel-dudes to many, even with rancor?

Why is accell even in the deck, you aren't accellerating into anything big, admittedly yes a turn 2 ram gang is really powerful, but other than that you don't have anything to accelerate into so your mana dudes will just sit and do nothing for half the game. I would cut them for some more aggro. Tattermunge Maniac  seems like it should fit the bill. As is, the crusher is probably better for your deck.

Hi bard. thx for the input I have included the 8 accelerators in order to have a good chance of a second turn 'rain or ram-gang. Thanks to rancor those birds can be surprisingly dangerous when their accelerator-time is up.. Still I might consider replacing them with aggressive one drops. In that case I would probably run kird ape  and either skyshroud elite  or wild dogs  over the maniac though...
