More creatures? I'm not sure there's room. I think the burn is generally more important, especially now that we have a sweeper. The non-tech creatures we do include should be 2-for-1s or be as efficient defensively as possible.
I don't see us playing the Keldons or any of the early red drops in game 1, but change my mind.
To be clear, I do want to take more creatures, but only for the board, where we'd switch out the ramp for them.
Kodama's Reach is the only spell that might make our deck. Albino Troll would be better for the sideboard. Either would be fine but I'd take Simic Growth Chamber. I wish it were selesnya or boros but I'd play SGC over a forest in this deck.
Really? Bounce lands kind of scare me, and I hate the tempo loss. We seem to be the only ones grabbing land destruction, but a Wasteland would wreck us, for very little gain with no landfall or other uses for an extra card in hand. If it was Rg or Wg, I'd consider it, but an off color splash seems marginal.
I used to run all ten in my cube, and really grew to dislike them. I think I have only two left. But that's my own hangups...
Kodama's Reach has a good chance of being main decked, I think. But I haven't actually tried a build yet, so I'm not sure.
Oh, and a creature that survives Wildfire would be nice...
Yeah probably not the best card but right up there with the other two for me. I actually don't run any of the bounce lands in my cube any more because land destruction is a thing. The only decks I'd play them in would need to have winter orb, wildfire, or balance, (generally they are not worth the risk IMO) we got 2.
I picked it because I would for sure risk it in this deck. If it were to get blown up it shouldn't be devastating because we hopefully have artifacts out to keep pace. Artifact ramp works with better with our deck than Reach so I wouldn't play it over any of our mana stones, but there is a slight chance I'd play it. For me I think I'd rather have the Albino Troll coming out of the sideboard if needed.
I don't mind the Reach pick at all, I'm sure I would grab it in a live draft. Getting as much time as you want to make a pick let's me over analyze each choice...

Nah, I'm okay with Kodama's Reach. It fixes, ramps and shuffles. But do we play the sword if we end up with fewer than ten creatures?
