Yvendros said: green creatures being cheaper could help. but the mana-ramp comes in the form of green having most (if not all) of the "convert gem to" spells. I think they reason that with all of those spells, your creatures ARE cheaper. a concern with cheaper green creatures is that it just means that the green dual planeswalkers get to use them as well.
Glad this has been brought up (again) and I agree with most of the above. Here is what I would like to see:
1. More Reach+Deathtouch even if it was a 1/1 token. It could still be beaten by a first striker or unblockable creature.
2. More Trample+Beserker creatures, all in one card and not having to cast two cards to make them both occur.
3. What happened to Regenerate? If we are only to have max 3 creatures on the board, give green have a slight advantage, considering our mana gains can not dump the entire board with creatures. Undercity Troll is only 1 creature.
Whether these ideas are executed through inherent creatures or spells or even PW abilities it would certainly give mono green its own removal and edge.
wereotter said: Regenerate isn't a very common mechanic in paper magic, which probably why it isn't in here. But you do bring up a good point. They have it to Linvala even though she doesn't have it on paper magic.Green's heavy reliance on creatures means it should have more regenerate and more spells to restore creatures to full toughness.

I'm pretty sure they phased regeneration out of paper magic entirelyalso 100% here for making green more competitive in more ways than making mana faster than other walkers

It's just really rare.
