A deck I started building for fun, mainly to play a bunch of my pet cards in the colors. For some reason, the deck started winning consistently with its most unlikely win-option, which is Biovisionary.

The main idea is copying stuff, either my own or good stuff from opponents deck, defending with counterspells and tricks like Snakeform. The copy-theme is also why there are a lot of mana sources that say "of any color", enabling the copies to eventually use abilites that would cost mana outside of my colors. I know that I don't use the most efficient of spells, but I wanted to keep things flavory-simicy. Also, I left out a few auto-inlcudes, like Momir Vig, Simic Visionary, mainly for psychological reasons. In the groups I play with in my LGS, it pays to not look like a threat, and being able to consistently tutor is pretty far up that list.

The bunch of Nissas do a lot of different, useful things here (ramp, graveyard-recursion, draw, defense...) but mostly they are there to take hits that would otherwise go to my face. There is also a little snake-sub-theme there to give me a chance to do some old-fashioned combat-damage via Kaseto, Orochi Archmage.

Maybeboard is stuff I tried but took out again, mainly for reasons of taste. They all work well.
