Lately I've been moving away from beast within too. I tried torch of defiance, it is ok but I love flamecaller more. Played a few hours tonite with friend. The love hate of bonfire is starting to become, a hate hate. I was on bonfire train for so long. So now I'm running 3 bolts and a kozeliks return in main. Side board is 3x angers and 2x sudden shock.
5-0 to victory last night. A long Grindy night. My only big change to the deck was dropping a wurmcoil to the side and adding Chandra flamecaller. I have yet to have run into a bad situation were I can't get 2 red. With 2x bonfire I've yet to hit a situation were it was bad. Running 1 bolt and a kozeliks return in main aswell. No beast Withins in main anymore. I have so much handle on my games, it is usually just a way to kill Lili if I can't lock jund out quickly. I still keep em in my side.
2-2 last night. My losses were to insanely fast due to some weird fringe deck and Jeskai
Ascendency. Wins were elves and jund, I am playing 2x dragons, 2x Inferno Titian and 1x wurmcoil as my fatties.
Got modern tomorrow and sadly I will skip out on the Ponza. There is chatter someone is making a anti moon deck. It is a cool bug deck with some odd stuff,
Im moderned out this weekend. I was off and took full advantage of my lgs and surrounding towns. today I came in second, my own fault when my friend was talking. I should of played anger of the Gods on the icker myr claw( i know i butchered that spelling.) i just pasted like a idiot and let him hit me with 7 for game. Sundays are not causal but it is mostly friends that gather to play; so wasn't to mad. I had a new elf guy rage quit on me. blow up his lands, blood moon him with a shrine to nyx out then proceed to volcanic fallout then play inferno titan, killing his 3 mana dorks. he scooped. game two I kept 4 lands, 2 angers and a bolt. drawing into LD. he scooped when I played garruk and minused to draw 4 cards cause of Storm breath.
My store had 3 emperion in their binder. All are gone. I wanted to try but seems emperion is like 20 bucks. I started this deck cause I love green and walkers. So at least I'm getting to do that :)..
So after traveling around with to some what lgs. I have 3 first place victories. Two tournies were 4-0 and tonite was 5-0. Not gonna write out a big drawn out report. Worst matchup was against fish, probably because it was a long grindy 3 games. I'm happy with my list. Garruk AND Nissa were boss. In a grindfest with a sultai deck I shut him down with moon but kept drawing lands. I ultimeded Nissa twice
Gratz to three 1st places, not an easy task!
Care to show us your lists? Which Garruk you use I wonder
Jeez so tired writing last night, surprised anyone can read my dribble. Ok green moon 1 is my main deck and I use it all the time. Moon2 is a list i took to a lgs with 4 jund players. Both are good but I like one with gesrhulk

I've seen that some list use Harmonize to refuel the hand, what about using something like Hunter's Insight to possibly draw even more cards ?
I'm also not sure that a card draw spell is the way to go rather than a PW like the new Chandra or Nissa.
Another option might something like Tireless Tracker.
Think 4 bonfire is wrong. 3 is ok. But 2 is good. So many matches I have played and won due to bonfire is copious beyond belief. I think 2 bonfire, possibly 2 bolts or 2 bonfire, 1x harmonize and 1 anger
So most know, but new non duel deck Nissa is the truth. Been testing one red gear hulk in deck. Which is great since this deck can top deck bad so 3 cards is great. Also with this deck, it runs a lot of higher costed cards. So the mill 3 for cmc damage is cool. In testing last night, I rolled over a primal command, a baloth and bird. That was enough to kill him even with the 1 damage from bird
2 Birds of Paradise
4 arbor elf
1 eternal witness
4 obstinate baloth
2 stormbreath Dragon
1 thragtusk
2 inferno titan
Spells :
4x Mwonvuli Acid-Moss
4x Stone Rain
3x Lightning Bolt
1x Primal Command
4x Blood Moon

1 Nissa, Vital Force

2x Ancient Grudge
2x Sudden Shock
