Nope, right now i'm not using skullclamp but collective unconscious. The deck seems to be getting better. I'm actually thinking of making space for 4x [card]seedtime[/card]. My meta is extremely control heavy and so I'm wondering if I need it. This deck is primarily for multiplayer games, so the chances of their being a control deck are pretty great. I'll also see if I can proxy up and try the living wish idea, that might be useful. Thanks for the input.

After playtesting against some of my own decks, I have decided that I would like it if the deck was a little more consistent. I think the answer to this could be to include a couple more ways to make saprolings, something along the lines of spontanteous generation or saproling burst. Do any of you have anything in mind that could help complement the saproling producers?

I was originally thinking about the inclusion of regrowth and especially concordant crossroads but couldn't find a spot for them. I personally didnt't include Nemata because I thought it would be better to just substitute his slots w/ Coat of arms, which give a long-term boost.
Nibble, if it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me the decklist of your friend's extended deck? I would love to see what similar decks look like. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. What do you guys think about Yavimaya Elder? I was originally considering to put him into the deck when I was contemplating putting in a splash of blue or red.
Also, Should I include fastbond or regrowth? I playtested a fastbond at last week's fnm and it didn't do much so I doubt it will be going in.
I just realized the text on Caller of the Claw says "non-token", which I didn't see at first and am now not too keen on putting him or the wirewood heralds in.
What are your thoughts on Verdant Force? He seems to be pretty good and would really shine in multiplayer games with multiple upkeeps.

Thanks for your help, I'll update my decklist and test it out, see if it helps.
I just wanted to run this by you, as it's kind of important. In large team games which frequently occur at the local FNM, enchantments and artifacts are quite rampant. Should I splash a color for aura mutation and artifact mutation to deal with these hinderances and use them as ways to net me more saprolings? Or am I better off just using naturalize?
And just one more thing, should I find a spot for a playset of Xantid Swarms for use against control?

Sorry about that, I posted this thread late at night yesterday and forgot a couple of things.
First things first, the deck revolves around saprolings. I use the elves, artifacts, and nonbasic lands for acceleration so I can lay down a spontaneous generation or a burst to get saprolings, and follow it up by a collective unconscious, coat of arms, or saproling symbiosis. I want it to quickly beatdown the opponent no matter what, and consistently do so.
The deck actaully has 58 cards in it, because i forgot to include 2x Rofellos, Llanowar emissary. Sorry about that, mistake on my part. Also, the reason I stated I wanted to cut it down to sixty cards was because even though it is currently 60 cards, I need help with additions to the deck regarding the board sweepers I mentioned in my first post and cards against control and such. One idea I had to thwart a Wrath of God or other board sweeper is to use 4x Wirewood Heralds and 1x Caller of the Claw, so when they lay down the WoG I can tutor for caller of the claw and make a buncha bears at end of turn.
I also need help determing if skullclamp is better than collective unconscious or maybe some other type of card drawing.
I am also now considering splashing another color in. The two colors I am considering are blue and red. Blue to splash for aether mutation, draw, and counters, or Red for Pandemonium, Artifact mutations, and burn. Any help is greatly welcomed.
Ephraim, sorry to bother you but could you post a link or tell me where I can find the forum rules? This is my first time posting and after looking around I did not spot it among the sticky threads or anywhere else. Thanks.

Hey guys, I am looking for some help with this saproling deck. I want it to be more consistent and just better overall.
Land: 11x Forest 3x Gaea's Cradle 4x Ancient Tomb 2x City of Traitors
Creatures: 4x Llanowar Elves 4x Fyndhorn Elves 4x Priest of Titania 2x Verdeloth the Ancient
Spells: 4x Spontaneous Generation 4x Saproling Burst 4x Saproling Symbiosis 4x Collective Unconscious 1x Biorhythm 1x Crop Rotation
Artifacts: 1x Sol Ring 1x Grim Monolith 1x Mana Vault 3x Coat of Arms
I need help cutting it down to sixty cards. Some ideas i had were to include 4x wirewood heralds and 1x caller of the claw to use against board sweepers such as wrath and starstorm. I also was thinking about replacing the collective unconscious w/ skullclamps. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
