Title: Need help with a deck idea.

As some of you know (Shakii, and maybe JMD) I want to build a Green and Red defender deck. The core cards I want are Sprouting Phytohydra, Vent Sentinel and Overgrown Battlement. I'd like to include Banefire and Stream of Life.

Anyway, the problem I'm running into is that I want to make as many Sprouting Phytohydra as possible with the least amount of cards as possible. I thought about using Wojeck Embermage because it would target all of them (if I have more than one), not kill it, and would double my amount of them every turn, which would of course fuel the Vent Sentinel and Overgrown Battlement. But, I'd only be able to use it once a turn, so it may take a little while.

It seems like the best way. Any other ideas?

Hmmmm... You got a real problem there huh? Wanna try AEther Flash? with a pump card like Stalwart Shield-Bearers?

Want to make it faster, use tinder wall...
Vine Trellis / Wall of Roots...
And why not use a finisher like Wakestone Gargoyle... though yours is only G/R... Hmmmm...
Wall of Blossoms + Wall of Omens = cool...
Wall of Hope / Wall of Essence...
Wall of Fire / Wall of Lava?
Wall of Swords / Wall of Spears
A few Warmonger's Chariot?
Woolly Razorback?
Better make it tri-color...
LOL
Those are my suggestions...
Wanna see the deck list that i would make if i were to make a defender deck?

A few is more than a couple.

a few is still less than many, so your point is moot!

Imaginary numbers exist, but aren't real.

how much is few? 3, 4, 5, or more... how much more will make few into many?

A few is usually 3. Many is 4 or more.

I don't know. Use Sprouting Phytohydra with Gaea's Anthem and Pandemonium.

If a couple = 2 and a few = 3...
and Shakii posted 3 decks and Turbine asked why he posted so many decks...
does few = so many?

If Socrates is man, and men are mortal...
Are all men Socrates?

I like that idea Turbine. One question: say Gaea's Anthem isn't out, would Sprouting Phytohydra and Pandemonium still work since the Phytohydra would still receive 0 damage from Pandemonium? Even though it's 0 damage, isn't it still "dealt" the damage?

No, it would not work. By a similar concept, if someone uses a Fleeting Distraction on a Goblin Lackey, the ability wouldn't trigger.

After you get all the tokens out, use Hellion Eruption.
