I wonder how well this deck would preform in a mono green shell? Makes playing with Reverent Hunter another option. I feel like the deck is very all in on the Garruk, Caller of Beasts, while the Domri and Xenagos are strong...do they NEED to be there?
it is pretty much monogreen, and in my testing of this list, Xena and Dommy are awesome. Reverent Hunter is almost winmor when that turn should be seeting up mana for your bombs- and mana is crazy available. satyr untapping nykthos is great
How is making an absurd amount of mana a combo? Sure you're using a combination of cards, but that doesn't make it a "combo" deck.
Decent list though, I'm enjoying it very much.
If you ever played Memory Jar you know that making an absurd amount of mana and drawing an absurd amount of cards is combo. In fact, my personal feeling is that this is true combo. I've never been as big a fan of combos you just "assemble" and then let them do the work, like Splinter Twin. I like playing a 7 minute game of solitaire. But maybe that's just me.
Yeah I played Memory Jar, and it was awesome. But this isn't near the same thing. Step 1) Make a crap ton of mana. 2) Use ton of mana on....? A Creature that needs another turn to attack? Mystcutter? sure but hes a 1 of in the SB not even in the main. This isnt combo, this is ramp aggro, not combo.

If wizards would print a green, black and white version of Hydroblast and Blue Elemental Blast Painter could be done in every color.
I like it......a lot.......especially the Garruks. He fits right in with this deck, and lets you drop fattys for free or lets you cantrip for one and gives you something to do with your spare mana. And wasteland viper + polukranos post board is just icing on the gruul cake.
I have been playing around with this list and its pretty nuts, the insane ramp available here. I adjusted his numbers and tested x2 Skarrg Goliath in it for a late game mana sink/wincon, and seems to work pretty well.
Corpsejack Menace into Kalonian Hydra is great, and Savageborn Hydra with CJM really shines. in this picture, (solitaire xmas land i know i know), i played a savageborn, then attacked with kalonian and doubled SBH to 42 counters. Meanwhile kalonian hydra went up to 72 counters i believe. The math i think was SBH 7/7->14/14 from CJM, KH attacks, +14(x2CJM)=28counters from CJM= 42/42. IF somehow the trampling 72/72 Kal didnt finish them then...
4 Elvish Mystic
4 Sylvan Caryatid
4 Voyaging Satyr
4 Burning Tree Emissary
3 Scavenging Ooze
3 Arbor Colossus
4 Polukranos, World Eater
2 Nylea, God of the Hunt
3 Domri Rade
2 Xenagos, the Reveler
4 Garruk, Caller of Beasts
Land:
9 Forest
2 Mountain
4 Stomping Ground
4 Temple of Abandon
4 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

1 Destructive Revelry
3 Mizzium Mortars
2 Burning Earth
2 Chandra Pyromaster
2 Nylea's Disciple
1 Xenagos, the Reveler
1 Sylvian Primordial
He's 12-1 at the moment. Pretty disgusting combos going on with Nykthos, Voyaging Satyr and Garruk.

I decided to tweak the gruul list and make a Jund list with savageborn hydra and corpsejack menace. Thinking about 2x Exava, Blood Witch somehow.
