[standard] A non "Mono-Green" Red/Green Monsters

I feel this deck really, really needs focus. Some conflicts I noticed:

• You seem to want to play the mid-late game, but are running Rabblemasters. Rabbles really only work if they're supplemented by pressure or protected. Being that you have no main board killspells and only 2 immidiately threatening 4 drops (Polu) he feels very weak here.

• Nissa seems like she's really not doing much of anything.Her ramp ability is almost entirely wasted here, and 4/4's that are tapped on curve are very untheatening in a meta of Polus, Seige Rhinos and 1 for 1 removal.

• Your threat density is relatively low. Chandra typically does poorly without high density, Xenagos really only becomes a threat himself in this meta when ulting, and you only have 6 cards you can actually sink mana into. The issue with trying to rely on walkers without answers of your own is how easily they are disrupted right now.

• Fated conflagration is cute but keep in mind Elvish Mystic will not let you play it turn 3 without a scry land as your first land. This means you have to play the Mystic turn two which will make you slower and more vulnerable to magma jet. There are many other 4-drops Id rather play. I find this card too narrow to run more than 2 of.

• Your sideboard seems very overkill to stop aggro and not much else. I feel Abzan would absolutely wreck this deck thanks to hand manipulation and kill spells. Mardu probably has a fairly easy time as well if they play it right. If you play a mirror and they run Arbor Colossus it seems you have no. preferable way to stop it. At all.

• The biggest problem I see is that you're trying to split the difference too tightly. You're less consistent and effective than R/G aggro and less explosive and huge as G/R ramp. Clogging the sideboard with removal doesn't help the problem, and just feels like it would make for a muddled game plan in most matchups

• Mana confluence is very iffy here. Part of the draw of R/G is it almost never has color issues. I suppose running Fated makes it more difficult for you, but I hate the idea of constantly taking damage for mana in a deck that shouldn't have to worry about colors at all.

• It pains me to see you not running Crater's claws. The card is incredible.

Sorry for typos I'm on my phone.

Here are the things I disagree with in your list:

2x Polukranos - Polukranos isn't an afterthought, but rather one of the main reasons to be playing Monsters at all. I would rather have 4 of him than any Rabblemasters at all, but since they are both effective, I would suggest a 3/3 split. Or, better yet, drop a Chandra for an additional Poluk to keep your threat density high.

2x Mana Confluece - RG has scrylands and fetch lands, but of which you play. Mana consistency isn't usually a problem for this deck, and I would bet the damage from Confluence will hurt you more than help. I would swap them for two more basics, or even for a Nykthos or two.

4x Fated Conflagration - This is a card that I started play testing with before Khans dropped, and it wasn't particularly useful back then. Stoke did a lot more work for me, in that it was easier to cast and more versatile. Now we have Craters Claws, which has more flexibility and the only drawback of being a sorcery. With mana dorks and the high probability of jamming a big threat by the time you have RRR, you have a high probability of playing it for 5 or more damage, and the added advantage of being able to target a player as well.

Honestly I feel like mono green splash red would be a better setup. I dont run stormbreaths at all. Arbor colossus blocks all relevant fliers and sarkhan. I'm debating keeping rabble in the main board as a 4 of. I just dont know what i would do with those spots otherwise. Maybe hornets nest.

Here's my current list:

3 Xenagos, the Reveler 2 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker

4 Crater's Claws

4 Rattleclaw Mystic 4 Elvish Mystic 4 Stormbreath Dragon 3 Boon Satyr 3 Polukranos, World Eater 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Ashcloud Phoenix 2 Hornet Queen

4 Wooded Foothills 4 Temple of Abandon 7 Mountain 7 Forest 1 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

SB: 3 Anger of the Gods 1 Bow of Nylea 2 Destructive Revelry 2 Barrage of Boulders 2 Hornet Queen 3 Fated Conflagration 2 Setessan Tactics

I've cut Coursers and Caryatids and haven't looked back. With all the lifegain running around in Abzan, Mardu, and Reanimator decks with Whip, I've opted to go the more aggressive route, which is why I've also opted for more flyers in Phoenix and Hornet Queen. Unlike Caryatid, Rattleclaw can actually attack and allows us a potential turn 3 Stormbreath or bestowed Satyr. Satyr trades with opposing Coursers and attacks through Caryatid, can be bestowed on our evasion dudes later in the game for additional damage or to turn mana dorks into actual threats, turns on Barrage of Boulders (more on this in a minute), gets under Disdainful Stroke, and can even surprise eat an attacker if need be.

Nissa might come back to my SB if there's ever an uptick in control decks, but that time isn't now, and we have better threats for the main deck. Barrage of Boulders and Bow of Nylea do everything I want from Chandra, only better, as Barrage also clears out mana dorks, Rabblemasters, Ashcloud Phoenixes, and goblin and hornet tokens. Bow of Nylea is awesome: helps you race in midrange matchups, keeps you alive against aggro, turns your dorks into threats and lets you get in extra damage with your big dudes.

I'm not sure the mana's ideal (might need to go -1 Forest, +1 Mountain for SB Conflagrations, of which I might like another). Might also need another Revelry for Reanimator and Constellation matchups. Tactics is another card to break a board stall, but I'm looking for suggestions for something better, maybe some combo of another Bow, Arbor Colossi, and Lightning Strikes (to hit Mantis Rider in the Jeskai matchup).
