     I have been working with the vineyard decks for quite a while and
keep finding the problem of ccreature control.  Green has so many ways
to kill other permanents its really kinda sick, but lacks control for
the tradewind decks which have been my biggest problem with this deck
because they have control creatures and dumps for the vineyard.  I came
up with this version to help with the control:
4 stampeding wildabeest
4 sex monkeys
2 disc (with a stampeding in play i can choose a    creature to save
before blowing the disk)
4 tran forges (card i have yet to see played but     is absolutely sick
with the first 2 cards in play)
4 spike feeders
2 spike weavers
2 spike soldiers (too hard for alot of decks to         kill)
4 wall of blossoms
2 creeping molds
2 desert twister
2 emerald charms
4 reclaim (as an instant is really abusive, cast in    response to
casting a wall)
4 vineyards
18 forest
2 maze of shadows (sorry dont want to lose to       hatred dauthi, or
maroskined soltari)
SIDEBOARD:
     going a little anti-blue but that is my weak point so here goes:
2 emerald charm (pit hurts)
3 city of solitude
3 chokes
3 elephant grass
2 lifeforce
2 primal orders

so there is the deck. with the forge all permanents can be controled by
green what a scary thought. if you have any ideas on improvements please
contacct me
