2nd MTG Mono Green Pauper Deck 1.0 - Heavy On Creatures w/ Defender

The following blog is the most recent update of this deck
http://craig-hamilton-mtg.blogspot.com/2013/07/2nd-mono-green-pauper-deck-20-mana-ramp.html

Creatures With Defender:  15  The main purpose of these creatures with defender is to build up a strong defense that can produce a lot of mana.  Both Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardian work off of defenders to produce mana.  In future decks I may decide to add more than just these 8 cards that boost mana by the number of creatures with defender.
4 Overgrown Battlement
4 Axebane Guardian
4 Wall of Vines
2 Steel Wall
Wall of Tanglecord

Creatures Without Defender:  15  So, these creatures are all huge, and there is a reason for that of course, the first being to annihilate my opponent, the second is the premise that I can use mana from my creatures that give mana to cast them.  Please notice that some of them have trample.
Horncaller’s Chant
Timbermaw Larvae
4 Thundering Tanadon
Axebane Stag
4 Yavimaya Wurm
 4 Ulamog’s Crusher

Other Cards: 10 Since this deck relies on having a lot of mana, I thought it would be good to include three Strider Harnesses which can give my huge creatures haste.  Also, the flyer artifacts can give either offense or defense flying, as is needed.
Naturalize
Untamed Might
Nature’s Claim
Cobbled Wings
3 Strider Harness
Kitesail
2 Bladed Pinions

Lands:
20 Forests

Sideboard:
3 Wall of Roots
3 Wall of Tanglecord
3 Untamed Might
3 Naturalize
2 Steel Wall

1 Timbermaw Larvae
