4 Cold-Eyed Selkie
4 Tarmogoyf
2 Ohran Vipers
2 River Boas
4 Viridian Zealot - helps against Ichorid, Oath
4 Thornweald Archers
4 Noble Hierarch
4 Elvish Spirit Guides

4 Null Rod
2 Seal of Primordium
2 Naturalize
4 Rancor

1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Emerald
1 Black Lotus
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
12 Forest

SB
3 Seeds of Innocence
1 Gaea's Blessing
2 Relic of Progenitus
2 Tormod's Crypt
2 Wheel o Sun and Moon
3 Oxidize
2 Krosan Grip

I like mono green as it has weapons to fight leading strategies - K Grip, Archer, Deglamer.  Im relying heavily on the Null Rod, Root Maze, Pithing Needle hat-trick to combat explosive starts supported by Goyf and Selkie to maintain the momentum. 

Are there any silver bullets in green Ive overlooked?  Seeds of Innoccence, Oxidize.....

Maybe Fetches to help thin you land draws. Since your running green you can avoid the most commonly used fetches and your needles will still work.

Deglamer may be fine vs Darksteel but Inkwell is gaining in popularity and it dodges deglamer in a rude manner.

I'm not incredibly fond of the Llanowar's they just seem slow.  If you keep them consider skullclamp?

If your looking for more disruption - consider Chalice?

Skullclamp is at odds with Null Rod, the latter which must resolve to stay on par with the top decks.

I can't see a reason for Llanowar Elves over Noble Heirarch, especially since it would power up Selkie even more.

It's a good idea, but some creature choises are a bit odd.

Skyshroud Elite is an efficient creature who is consitently a 2/3

Vexing Shusher is fantastic against controll heavy decks and should see at least your sideboard

I also like the idea of gutteral response against controll heavy decks

What about  Ohran Viper instead of Thornweald Archer. I know it costs more but it can also draw cards. Also Viridian Zealot seems very good here, or main deck Seals. Oh, and for the sidebaord, choke!

Im using the Archers to fight Inkwell and the 4 Deglamer to fight DSC.  I have Zealots MD.  Im not using fetches as they clash with Rootmaze.   I will include Hierarch and Vexing Shusher though.  I like the Choke idea  thank you.  I didnt go with Viper because of the 3cc and I benefit more from pumping up the Selkie.  The only vanilla critter Id consider is Goyf, Elite just dont do enough.

Is Goyf really even a good beater here? Most of your deck is permanents with little to go to the graveyard. I think Seal of Primordium is a must if you're going to run Tarmogoyf.

Here's what I was testing when Noble Hierarch came out.

// Lands
    11  Forest
    4  Wasteland
    1  Strip Mine
    1  Pendelhaven

// Creatures
    4 Noble Hierarch
    4  Cold-Eyed Selkie
    4  Elvish Spirit Guide
    4  Tarmogoyf

// Spells
    1  Black Lotus
    1  Mox Emerald
    4  Root Maze
    1  Trinisphere
    4  Null Rod
    4  Keen Sense
    4  Choke
    4  Seal of Primordium
    3  Tangle Wire
    1  Crop Rotation

I really like this idea. It reminds me of how good stompy decks were because they were green. This green strategy I believe is very good at hating because it can't be hated itself. I suggest playing a Petal for speed and another artifact in the yard for Goyf. I also recommend removal in the form of enchantments to make them even bigger like Seal of Primordium.
What about Chalice, could that work in this deck? Make them play at your pace.. Right?
