Of the cards you posted Birchlore Rangers can't be coded (Morph can't currently be coded) and Chord of Calling can't be coded (Convoke with {X} in the casting cost can't even be approximated). Heritage Druid can only properly be coded using mana tokens, but can otherwise be coded.

If you could find replacements for Birchlore Rangers and Chord of Calling then the rest of the cards can be coded and you could have a similar deck.

Yes. It's just a gimped Heritage Druid but then it wouldn't be Birchlore Rangers :). You could use Elvish Mystic or the new green creature that adds {G} for your devotion to green. I forget it's name but it's a cmc=4 though.

I would not suggest Green Sun's Zenith as your only replacement because it only works for green creatures. Chord of Calling looks like the only way to cast Predator Dragon and that's the main win condition of the deck.

Edit- could you approximate Chord of Calling the same way tfm did for Nemesis of Mortals? It's not very pretty but it might work.

ehheheh i really forgot about sa Predator Dragon hehehehehe. . . about the Morph mechanics is it possible to code it as a token first then give that token the ability to summon Birchlore Rangers and then viceversa with the token. . .

Try to make a search for "morph" in the DotP forum and you'll see that the topic has been discussed lots of times... in vain. Your idea doesn't work because the token would need to exist on the stack, which is impossible.

As RiiakShiNal already said, the problem with Chord of Calling is {X}. Any other spell with convoke could be approximated one way or another, but {X} would need to be limited by the available mana plus the untapped creatures, which is impossible because {X} is internally managed by the engine.

Let's face it: if you want to make a 1:1 copy of a deck, DotP might not have what it takes.
