Just put this thallid deck together for fun, using Kamahl, Fist of Krosa  as the general for his overrun effect. I have too many cards right now so need some help pruning. Down to about 63 maybe? (I haven't listed lands, mostly forests plus a few "normal" utilities.) I'm really looking for suggestions as to WHAT TO TAKE OUT. I notice everyone has ideas for cards to add to decks, but not remove, so please, if you suggest a card, suggest something to remove too. :-) At the bottom of the list are a few cards I already trimmed out, so if you think any of these should go back in, let me know.

This isn't saprolings or spores or anything like that, but Druid's Call  might be able to find a spot

Compared to the other buffs and such, Gaea's Anthem just seems kinda little. I think you could pull it for something else.

You have Kamahl as a commander and Garruk in the deck. Seems like Overrun is just taking a card slot out of paranoia that the other two will fail you. Same goes for Brawn , with the added penalty that you have to sacrifice Brawn before he does anything for you. Back to Nature crushes some of your best plays: Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, and Fungal Bloom, as well as some of your defenses in Gravity Well and Spidersilk Armor. I'd drop it or replace it with Tribute to the Wild  . Then I'd replace Naturalize with Slice in Twain  . I realize that Carnage Altar is a natural pair with tokens. But there are cheaper means of drawing cards, like Mind's Eye  for example. The Altar will do more for you under certain (especially late game) circumstances, but the Eye is going to be consistently great.

Great suggestions, and you're right, Overrun and Brawn were in there due to paranoia, I'll take them out. Also like the enchantment removal suggestions. Probably remove Gaea's Anthem too. I never got my hands on a Mind's Eye, if I do, the first one will go into my Shirei deck, the next one, in here (I hate swapping out cards!) Any land suggestions? I'm not too familiar with any lands that would really help this deck. I can't afford a Gaea's Cradle right now! So all I've got is Oran-Rief, The Vastwood  and Mystifying Maze  plus forests.

Maybe a Sapseep Forest  ? The Mind's Eye was a suggestion. Green has a few free ways to get cards, like Rowen  or Primordial Sage  . There's also Seer's Sundial  . Anything that leaves your mana free to power up the Fungal Bloom or Kamahl is good.

Another thought while not saproling related, Avenger of Zendikar  is basically a single card that sums up your deck plans. Put tokens into play, make them bigger, punch in face, and repeat until dead.

I have some suggestions, but most of them are additions. As for cuts, I'm not exactly sure what you should be replacing. Nothing sticks out as especially bad to me. Lands: Strip Mine  , Wasteland  (if you have/can afford it), Ghost Quarter  , Tectonic Edge  : land destruction Arena  : a bit of a techy land I like including if I'm going to be the guy with the biggest creatures Terramorphic Expanse  , Evolving Wilds  , green fetches  : deck thining, land fall triggers Card "draw": Jayemdae Tome  Triumph of Ferocity  Genesis Wave  Tutors: Green Sun's Zenith  Chord of Calling  Fauna Shaman
