Hi all,
New to the forum; just spent the better part of my free time over the past week or so reading the entire thread. Big thanks to everyone who has contributed; there's a huge wealth of information here.
I've been fiddling with modern mono-green ramp decks since my theros R/G deck rotated out of standard, and am excited to overhaul using a bunch of the ideas here. I'm a bit torn, because I want to splash red without investing in fetches/shocks, which would be fine if I could set the first utopia sprawl to red. That makes GGG (for Leatherback Baloth or Predator Ooze) and GGGGGG for Primalcrux pretty clunky sometimes.
The discussion of the enchantment for one red that gives all creatures haste got me thinking... In the builds with Cloudstone Curio you could play enchantments that act globally and swap them in and out of play depending on whose turn it is. eg, on my turn lands tap for an extra mana, and on your turn we have a Blood Moon. You'd have to recast them each turn, of course, but we do often have the mana, and the general hosers/boosters are undercosted because the effects are two-sided. Not really my playstyle, but I thought I'd mention the idea to you-all.
Anyhow, thanks again for the great thread, and I hope I can help move the archtype forward. I love smashing people with giant creatures, and we don't see enough of that in modern :).
