My Definition of Deck Versions

I know that I often update my decks, especially as I get new ideas.  This led me to create a version system for my MTG blog.  However, previously I was unsure how I would differentiate between say, Version 7.2 and 7.5, in the tenths digit, as well in the unit’s digit.  And, for example, why should I call one deck Version 5.0 and another deck Version 6.0.
Well after pondering this conundrum I came up with a solution that makes me very happy.  That solution is that each time I switch out 1 card, and put another card in its place, the tenth’s digit will increase one tenth.  However, I will start at 1.0, not 0.0.  And, if I switch more than 10 cards, that will result in a change of a single unit.
For example, if I switched out 1 Unnatural Predation, and put in 1 Primal Frenzy, if the original Version that contained that Unnatural Predation was 7.0, then the version with Primal Frenzy as a replacement for Unnatural Predation would be deemed, “Version 7.1,” and so on, such that if 10 cards in total were changed from 7.0, then that would merit that the deck would merit the distinction of Version 8.0.

2nd Legacy Deck: Mono Green Version 1.1

This deck is updated at the following website:
http://craig-hamilton-mtg.blogspot.com/2013/04/2nd-legacy-deck-mono-green-10_27.html
This deck is not nearly as competitive as my Legacy Infect deck, but it is still a very good deck.
Creatures
4 Dungrove Elder
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Sylvan Ranger (This card makes my deck as if I had 22 forests)
4 Timbermaw Larva
2 Deadly Recluse
1 Ambush Viper
2 Elvish Herder
2 Arbor Elf
1 Boreal Druid
1 Joraga Treespeaker
1 Fyndhorn Elder

Instants
4 Vines of Vastwood
4 Primal Bellow
1 Naturalize (this card would also work well with 3 others in a sideboard)

Sorcery
2 Cultivate (both Cultivate and Kodama’s reach would work well in a side board)
1 Kodama’s Reach  (Cultivate and Kodama’s Reach make it as is I have more than 18 forests, which is good especially with Sylvan Ranger)

Enchantment
4 Gigantiform

18 Forests

**** Kodama’s Reach – Kodama’s Reach Is Essentially Cultivate and Vise Versa

A good formula that you may consider as far as mana acceleration is concerned is that paying 3 mana should at least give acceleration equal to two mana. Thus, this card makes the mark, and there are a few others like Cultivate, Fyndhorn Elder, and Joraga Treespeaker that all do the trick. Thus, I would rate all these cards highly. One added advantage to this card is that you can get a double landfall, which works excellent with Baloth Woodcrusher. Thus, in my opinion there are better choices than cards such as Quirion Elves, Wirewood Elf, and Leaf Guilder, all of which cost 2 mana for a return of 1 mana as an activated ability. If it is mana you want, go with Joraga Treespeaker, Fyndhorn Elves, Llanowar Elves, this card, or Fyndhorn Elder, etc.
