An alternative to the Selesnya Proliferate deck, splashing blue to be able to add some nice Simic spells like Roalesk, Apex Hybrid or Simic Ascendancy and some sideboard utilities against control like Dovin's Veto , Teferi, Time Raveler or Essence Capture . The idea of this deck is to throw some cheap creatures and buff them with +1/+1 counters and the proliferate mechanic, so you get huge threats to deal massive damage as fast as possible. If you don't want to attack, you can also win by stacking up Simic Ascendancy , which is fairly easy in this deck thanks to cards like Evolution Sage or Ajani, the Greathearted .

Because of the three types of mana needed, you'll need some dual lands to avoid getting stuck on early game. Since I made this deck considering my personal budget to build it, I only added the amount of rare dual lands that I currently own, filling the blanks with some taplands. After you cast Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter , your creatures will be able to tap for any type of mana, so then everything will go smooth as silk. To ramp up mana early game, I've added some Llanowar Elves , but you can change them for other mana creatures, like Paradise Druid and sacrificing a bit of tempo.

This is my first deck, so any help is welcome!
