I came, I saw, I curved.

Seemingly simple evolution of zoo on paper, but in practice, plays like a fusion of many different archetypes. Explosiveness of Knightfall and Humans (Hierarch into 1 + 2 / aggressive 3 into value 4), resilience of G/B/x Rock (Souls and Voice go wide efficiently), and the ability to switch between proactive and reactive depending on match-up (Tribal Flames can both close games and take names). Couple those with the ability to play a wider variety of cards in the side than most (from Finks to Rakdos Charm, with tons of other options depending on local meta -- its value is in its flexibility), and you have the pet deck I stick with through thick and thin. Wild Nacatl is a bad card to be playing in a world of Fatal Push and Matter Reshaper, but when it comes to trying to answer the whole of Modern without durdling, I have always found my way back to slinging around this (core) pile of cards I like.

Always accepting suggestions and criticisms on both main and side -- I've thought about most Modern-legal cards and played my own devil's advocate to a maddening degree, but I recognize that I can't catch everything.
