Please help me make my deck better
Man, this looks like a weird Counter-Psuedo-Stompy-ish deck. The creature pumps are pretty useless
sometimes. Sure, it's fun to increase your creature's power/toughness to the extreme, but it leaves
you open for spells, since you can't counter other spells. And they could probably just counter your
pump and kill you. Also, I see other bad cards, like Bind. Bind is just Pernicious Deed hate. Force Spike
is more for the control deck. We have here an aggro-control. And I'm gonna remake it as aggro-control.

Hippo rules! If you ever play Treva's colors (u/w/g), play the Hippo (Questing Pheldagriff)!
Here it comes...
Card-by-Card Analysis
Land - Well, Tap lands weren't working too well, so I added the necessary Pain/Lair lands that
I thought were necessary.
Birds of Paradise - A necessary card for a green deck sporting 2 or more colors.
Noble Panther - This guy puts the "Noble" in "Noble Snakes." He's beefy for his casting cost.
Fleetfoot Panther - Goes great with the Snakes and can save any of your creatures if need be.
Mystic Snake - Hisssssss. Snake come, snake counter. Snake bite. Ow, my finger.
Blastoderm - Smmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash! Nice addition to the beat sticks of the deck.
Questing Pheldagriff - Hooray for hippos! Hard to kill flying pump machine kill thingie.
Counterspell - *nod*
Absorb - *nods again*
Misdirection - Him: "I'll 10-point Rage you." You: "No, I'll 10-point Rage YOU! *dances a jig*"
Fact or Fiction - Need some sort of card drawing up in this shiznit.
And for the sideboard:
Tangle - For Fires and any aggro deck really.
Seal of Cleansing - For anything with annoying enchantments/artifacts, like Chimeric Idol or whatever.
Kavu Chameleon - For counter decks. Can't counter him.
Teferi's Response - For opposing ports or Opposition decks.
Worship - For Fires and Mono Red. Mono Red can't handle this and Hippo together.
This deck could go places, in the hands of a good player. Whatever happens, happens. Have fun!
Keep topdecking!
