Deck seems pretty cool. Would be interesting against heavy hitting deck like Doran Rock and of Course heavy fae. Ultimately though the deck seemed pretty sweet.
On a side note, i know the deck is creatureless but hostility would be a good addition. Epecially with all that burn there.

I really like the "everything I have and then whittle down" build strategy. Wouldn't mind seeing that again. I was surprised you went down to 3 Boom/Bust in the first place. It's just that essential to your plan, and hardly inconceivable that you would play the Boom side if you drew a 2nd. You know I don't usually feel bad for Ben's opponents, but one of those guys was playing Old Ghastbark. At least he had a Wilt-Leaf Liege and a Gaddock Teeg in there, but still that should have been Cavaliers and Saffis and Finks.

It is sad how people get upset about any form of land destruction. I have been "yelled" at for using Numot, the Devastator. As you say, there is a big difference between your opponent casting Boomerang on your dual land turn 2 then destroying your lands from then on out and simply blowing up a lot of lands once you get to six mana.

Wow, playing with land destruction. I guess technically it is on a budget, but I also read this column because it's building for fun. This isn't fun.

I feel a bit sad that Ben beat all these other decks and then lost game 10. I mean ... the first creature his opponent played was Ashenmoor Cohort ? Is that a typo ? People rarely play that even in limited ...
At the end of his deck transformation he really didn't have a reason to be playing green haha, blue would probably work better. Suspend + evacuation for more stalling. Play like 1 Fencer Clique to avoid decking.
Also .. where is Rift Bolt ?

I like this deck. The land destruction is only part of the control strategy and not landdestruction at any cost.
(And if your deck can't deal with a bit of landdestruction here and there, you are maybe just building bad decks :P)

Agreed. At the end the only Green cards were 4 Harmonize and 2 Creeping Molds. I think Blue would have been better for card drawing and bounce.
