Midrange draw-go deck that wants to entice our opponents into some bad blocks.

Force of Negation because who can afford a playset of Force of Will. Stops goofy combos and catastrophic blowouts in their tracks.

Beast Attack is the headliner here. This deck is less about synergy (unless you count the natural synergy that instant speed cards have with each other) and more about consistently advancing our plan, and this card is as on-plan as it gets - it's a big flash blocker and long game card advantage all at once.

Elephant Ambush is the slightly less impressive version. Ambush Viper and Grey Havens Navigator trade early and operate as backup threats. Behold the Multiverse provides a more traditional form of card advantage if our opponent isn't playing into our ambushes.

The rest is all control suite. Exclude looks a little redundant next to Bite Down, Snakeform and all our blocking shenanigans but the card advantage is not to be ignored and the downside is largely mitigated by the fact that we always have Force of Negation up.

Shambleshark and Brineborn Cutthroat look so good on paper but they just don't work that well in this deck. Maybe there's an aggressive flash deck out there that wants 'em but in this one you're just taking a beating trying to race instead of stabilizing, which constrains your plays so badly that the whole point of playing a draw-go deck is essentially lost. Back to the "cheap control cards early, fatties later" plan.

Some nice new tools printed since M20. Bite Down and its various cousins are much better than Prey Upon when we don't have to leave up mana for it. Return to Nature is the perfect 2-of problem solver. Grey Havens Navigator is a better rate for flash creatures that previously seen. Quandrix Campus lets us scry away land in the late game.
