Lore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demetra

Demeter, goddess of the harvest and argiculture, is one of the most well-known and important divine figures of the ancient greek mythology.
 The seeds of the plants (Forest Spectre) begin to grow(Growth) strong, sharpening their thorns (Spine Carapace) and spreading their seeds (Mitosis) around and binding themselves with the soil and each other via their roots (Feral Bond).
 The women working on the fields (Green Nymphs) fertilize the soil to make the plants even stronger than before (Epinephrine).
 The plants are watered by the tears (NT) of Demeter herself, crying again and again for the loss of her beloved daughter Persephone who was abducted by Hades.

This looks like one of the few FGs that could be rushed (for lack of shielding and healing [except that one Thorn])
Looks like a solid deck though.

Wait what am I saying there are Feral Bonds right in front of me.
With that, it reminds me of Miracle, with the bonds.

This deck shares a lot of components with Elidnis and Serket.  In my opinion, rather than improving on those concepts, it seems to dilute the Elidnis and Serket concepts without compensating for what is lost.

The many great dangers to Elidnis include reverse time, a parallel universe / lobotomizer / phase shield combo, elite otyughs (especially with SoPa), shockwave/bolt/etc. and other CC, which is why Elidnis packs quints for his forest spectres.  The mitosis helps to address this somewhat, but because of the many CC options that work against this deck, it doesn't seem quite as strong as an FG "should be", at least in my estimation.

Also, the nymph tears seem out of place. Green Nymphs are more useful with smaller creatures (like Serket) and lose a lot of efficacy on larger forest spectres. And especially here, where you would be hoping to be dumping most or all of your available water quanta onto the spectres, you are essentially trading +12/+12 of growth for a the nymph benefit. It might be a net positive damage gain, but at the cost of lower HP gain and having more cards in the deck (greater unpredictability).

I would propose an alternative deck, but as I have said, I think Elidnis and Serket have already plowed these fields.

People mentioning Miracle and Elidnis (even Serket?!)...

Let me tell you about this False God, called Ferox. :P Also, Fire Queen with creature spam + Bonds.

Anyway ARTH, it's a nice little deck. :) Have you tested it in the trainer?

Looks like a solid deck. I used a deck similar to this for one of my first AI4 decks before I switched to Aether.
