An idea I came up with to revamp my Simic deck. Pretty budget, so no shocklands/Aetherling/etc. My main concern is mana; gates are slow, and with Innistrad and M13 rotating out, I lose Farseek and Avacyn's Pilgrim, the two most important mana ramps for Bant midrange, and Gatecreeper Vine can't actually ramp, just fix. Hoping Theros will bring new ramping support, but in any case, I don't want to add things that I know will rotate out in a few months.

Basic strategy for this deck is pretty simple: 1 and 2-drop evolvers, powered up by my effecient midrange creatures, with various charms providing cheap support. I know that I'll never have the world's greatest deck, given my budget and theme, but I want to get this to an at least somewhat competitive level.
