Overview:

This deck is fully green deck requiring only green tiles. The deck is based on many Life buffing events and creatures that will feed the Voices of Hunger. Those Voices of Hunger can then be beneficial to the Apex Predators.
This is a patient, late game deck that requires at least 3 forests. It is quite faeria-demanding, hence the Faeria Trees and Feed the Forest. Feed the Forest has good targets in Oaklings, Soulbound Sagamis and fed Bone Collectors.
It is likely that this deck will struggle against hard removals (Frogify, Mirror Phantasm, Choking Sands, Last Nightmare) and heavily aggressive/rushing decks. Burn decks should be easier to manage thanks to the 3 Tiki Healers.

Cards review:

Faeria Trees will provide efficient faeria pools, to use to combo a Voice of Hunger and Tiki Pipers or Shamanic Dance in the same turn. They however require some sort of protection during at least 4 turns.
Feed the Forest allows to either proc Soulbound Sagamis’ or Oaklings’ Last Words or efficiently gain faeria from fed Bone Collectors. The deck contains only 2 additional cards draw, but since it is costly in faeria, it would be no use anyway to have too many expensive cards in hand.
Tiki Pipers and Shamanic Dance are cheap, efficient Life buffers that will buff the creatures to sacrifice for the Voices of Hunger. Tiki Pipers are also cheap harvesters. Shamanic Dance also helps to tempo thanks to Taunt.
Bone Collectors are resistant harvesters (for their cost) that can situationally benefit from being nearby when a Voice of Hunger is summoned.
Oaklings are here to die (ideally with Feed the Forest) and buff a soon-to-be sacrificed creature. They can also harvest while you wait for a Feed the Forest.
Living Willows, Deepwood Grizzlies and Thyrian Golems are highly cost efficient Life sacks that can also receive Taunt thanks to Shamanic Dance.
Soulbound Sagamis can either be traded for example to ensure faeria harvest or be sacrificed by Voices of Hunger, which will proc their Last Words anyway. Their aim is to die BEFORE the second Voice of Hunger is summoned.
Tiki Healers help a lot to tempo. They provide a potential total of 18 Life to your god. They were preferred to cheaper events such as Gaea’s Grace, Ruunin’s Guidance, Healing Song or The Emperor’s Command because they provide harvesting potential and 6 Life for the sacrifices. Also, no particular card in the deck benefits from using Events.
Voices of Hunger are the keystone of this deck. The aim is to try to summon them surrounded by creatures having altogether at least 10 Life, but 20-ish Life would be ideal. Then they can begin their slow march towards the enemy god, clearing the board on the way.

Game Plan:

The priority in terms of tiles is to spawn a few forests, enough to harvest at least from one well. It is important to not leave your god exposed for enemy tiles. Once at least two wells are harvested, try to play the Taunt creatures ASAP if pressured, but avoid Tiki Pipers if possible, keep them for a surprise combo turn.
If you have Feed the Forest and a dispensable creature in hand, summon and sacrifice an Oakling. This will provide a good creature to sacrifice for the Voices of Hunger.
If pressured, focus on getting the 2 additional forests required for Thyrian Golems. Once no relevant tile can be added, pick +1 faeria (or draw a card if you have no Voice of Hunger yet).
Try to use as many Life buffs as possible before summoning the Voices of Hunger, if possible in the same turn for a better surprise effect. However, you can use those buffs earlier to bluff and try to attract the potential enemy hard removals.
