I run a funnish monogreen Insects deck that uses Winter Blast and Dervishes as partners in crime.

I just won a medium size t2 tourney with my monogreen swarm deck that went 7-0/14-0 games this weekend.

Admittedly there aren't any important tourneys for the new 2 for awhile but you can have ALOT[sic] of fun playing this monogreen deck at your local hangout and do well.

I'm actually impressed you made final 8 with a monogreen deck.

Splashing is not always a good thing. I find it slows my monogreen deck down more than it helps.

Make it 1GGG and it becomes rather hard to cast for anyone but a monogreen player.

First of all, as he said, there were many monogreen decks in the initial field, which, given that monogreen is one of the decks everybody should have been prepared to face, gave a big advantage to those who had done their homework and properly metagamed against it.

Why would you play Engineered Plague in a monogreen elf deck? :)
