With the probable elimination of fast mana and turn 3-4 combos in Standard come October, Big Green might have a place. More importantly, two key cards may make a splash in constructed play; Bifurcate and Pack Hunt:
4 Llanowar Elves
2 Birds of Paradise
4 River Boa
4 Uktabi Orangutan
4 Bifurcate
2 Pack Hunt
4 Blastoderm
4 Rushwood Elemental
4 Chimeric Idol
4 Tangle Wire
4 Rishadan Port
3 Dust Bowl
17 Forest
Taking advantage of the nearly guaranteed influx of multi-color decks due to all the gold spells and multilands in Invasion, and the lack fast decks (Fog or some variant in the SB if necessary as well as at least 4 tranquility effect cards). And let us not forget the joy of beating down your opponent with 2 Rushwood Elementals at a time. Additionally, there are minor synergies with Tangle Wire and the "Elves", Tangle Wire and the Idols, Boas and the Wire, etc (regeneration shields). There is also the rumor of a 1/2 Yzavimaya Granger w/o echo in Invasion, who would surely see play in this deck as well.
In addition, Blue might make an excellent splash for Pirates, Bouncers, Barriers, or Extravagant Spirits. Red, possibley, Black, possibly (although the addition of Wumpus would necessitate the reworking of the creature base), and Whire very likely. White could bring Devout Witness, Blinding Angel, Parallax Wave, and Armageddon, while substituting Maro for Rushwood Elemental. Two Maros and about as good as two Elementals with no land on the board.
