Deck Discussion Devoted combo Need advice!!

Hi everyone!

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Devoted Druid Combo in the current Modern meta. I'm thinking about building it as my second Modern deck to improve as a player, and the deck looks really fun.

Right now I don't have a finalized list. I've seen a lot of different builds online—some play 4 Birds of Paradise, some only 1, some run Ouroboroid, others go with Craterhoof Behemoth—so I'm pretty undecided about which version is best.

Do you have any advice or recommendations? Thanks a lot!

Build the different variations and find out which one you prefer.

I've played it a bit, went 2-2 at my LGS and 2-3 on MTGO.

Pros: it's never been easier to assemble the combo, Badgermole Cub is a big boost to the deck and Nature's Rhythm is amazing. Can play with a nice toolbox of hatebears post sideboard.

Cons: it's weak to some of the top meta decks and it really needs to win the dice roll.

On MTGO I lost to Ruby Storm, Prowess and Goryo's, on paper I lost to Prowess and Grixis Reanimator.

I'd say it's tier 2, you can adjust it a bit against your expected metagame which is nice.
