Well, I've been twiddling with Jamie's Naturepotence deck for a while
now, well over a month by now... and while his deck on the Dojo seems to
be a return to the fatty-style he's so familiar with (don't knock it if
it works IMHO) I've driven the deck towards a controllish stance as well
as seriously upping the creature count.  I've been playing the deck at
Neutral Ground the last two or three weeks, and when PT:NY was in town I
was pleased to get many onlookers watching that silly little monogreen
control deck in action.

Without further ado, here is the NYC Naturepotence deck... inspired by
Jamie Wakefield's concept, of course, but twisted to my own mad designs.

4x Quicksands
2x Wastelands
15x Forests
4x Eladamri's Vineyard
3x Nevinyrral's Disk
2x Jester's Cap
2x Disrupting Scepter
3x Gaea's Blessing
2x Provoke
4x Wall of Blossoms
4x Uktabi Orangutangs
4x Llanowar Sentinels
4x Striped Bears
4x Stampeding Wildebeests
3x Arctic Wolves

:::SB:::
3x Natural Spring
2x Torture Chamber (thanks goes to Shvartsman for the suggestion)
3x Lifeforce (who cares about Perish?  I fear the Drain Life...)
4x Tranquil Domain
3x Cursed Totem

I've lent the deck to friends only to watch them fail miserably with it,
while I've beaten some of the better Neutral Ground players in both
friendly and sanctioned matches.  It's not...exactly... the weenie-rush
deck that it appears to be, I use the creatures as a way to force my
opponent to burn off their resources from hand before I disk the board
away.  Since they're all free for me, they have the same +1 card
advantage as a Hymn if the opponent uses a card to kill them...if they
don't, well, free damage... might as well kill them, neh?

Good luck with the deck, I'll be testing it and others for Regionals.
