yes but i really feel like you need to possibly have some draw capabilities in your deck because i also notice that wit this deck you end up top decking a lot and are blowing your hand instantly with all the creatures you can put out

multiple corpsejacks truely is just Math: the gathering ><
shame Primal Vigor and Doubling Season aren't standard legal, have a play set of all 3 out you'd have have a Kalonian Hydra come in with 16 304 counters on it xP
But Love the idea, +1 from me

Scytec, even if I wanted to put him in, which I've done before, I've found that Vorel of the Hull Clade doesn't fit the midrange curve as great as my other counter multipliers. On T3, I'd rather want to ramp into my core 4-drops Master Biomancer and Corpsejack Menace which is more versatile than Vorel because its ability is static, rather than activated.
I do know that Prophet of Kruphix and Vorel of the Hull Clade can provide insane multiplication but I'd rather just flash a Kalonian Hydra which can end the game by itself.

I was thinking perhaps you should a Bioshift and use to for example move all counters to Master Biomancer so he gives off a big amount of counters to every creature that comes in. If Corpsejack Menace is on the field then it could potenially quadruple the amount of counters that creatures get when they come in. Kalonian Hydra swings once and your creatures are too big to handle.

TheDeadRooster, brilliant idea. I've used it before until I swapped it out for Progenitor Mimic for late game stability and lulz. Now that I've mainboarded Kalonian Hydra and removed Progenitor, it'll be great to add Bioshift back in.

Sorry to get off topic, but is Primal Vigor a functional reprint of Doubling Season ? if so that's pretty amazing.
On topic though, If you'd be willing to chop out a 5-drop or two, 2x Urban Evolution here would be delicious. You may also want to look into some Abrupt Decay .
Also, its a real shame Farseek rotated, because that would be bonkers for b/u/g.
Also, How is Fathom Mage working? 4 mana for an evolver seems really slow to me. If it's not working. Crowned Ceratok could be a thing, as well as Polukranos, World Eater . Fathom mage seems good for long, drawn out games, but this deck is fairly explosive. With Polukranos i could potentially see a turn 5 win. He could be a redundancy for Kalonian Hydra , and makes a hell of a blocker.
Turn 1 - land, Experiment One . T2 - Land, Sylvan Caryatid (evolve E1), T3 - Corpsejack (2x counters on e1). T4- Polukranos (evolve e1. total of 5 +1/+1's), T5 Go monstrous for a buttload of counters, swing with with all your dudes, and Bioshift onto whatever doesn't get blocked. This is best case scenario ofc.

It is, but Primal Vigor
is only legal in commander and vintage as was printed/made for commander 2013 decks (Proosh), which is a huge shame ><
also it only doubles +1/+1 counters instead of all counters, and works for all players not just yourself
and in you're scenario, Polukranos, World Eater would have a max of 6 counters (5 land plus Sylvan Caryatid , at a cost of 2 mana per counter, the doubled) meaning 12 counters Bioshift -ed onto something xP

Like I said, It's mostly as a redundant, slightly weaker Kalonian Hydra . better than a lackluster draw engine if you ask me. But yeah I didn't really bother doing the math, lol.

Grimgrinner, Fathom Mage is working amazingly. It never lets run short of cards and it synergizes very well with Prophet of Kruphix .
Draw more creatures -> Flash those creatures -> Fathom Mage evolves and draws more creatures. That tempo.
The combo works even more spectacularly with the core Master Biomancer & Corpsejack Menace combo. :D

Primordial Hydra seems like it would rape hardcore in your combo.

It probably would, but notice that he has the deck marked as standard (tho it looks like he's used it for modern play too, and did quite well with it).
Btw, I SERIOUSLY love the description here. I'm laughing so hard. I wish i could upvote the deck some more.

+1 for Bug decks!
BUG Monstrosity of Kruphix is mine :)
Also just as a consideration, Corpsejack + monstrosity.

As a combo in this deck, I think Giant Adephage would be a really fun card to play with Master Biomancer . Not to mention the evolve boost to creatures like Experiment One .
November 15, 2013 10:56 a.m.
I run a similar Simic Deck, and one of the cards that realy helps is Aqueous Form . If in hand, any one of your powerful creatures can instantly become unblockable and end the game. I like to put it on Kalonian Hydra . :P
November 15, 2013 6:21 p.m.
Skimm3r, Kalonian Hydra already has trample so adding unblockable to it is a bit redundant, but I do agree that Aqueous Form is a good card to end games with.

Nice deck +100 from me. Don't think there is much to say about... But could you possibly look at my deck and give any suggestions to me?

I like that this is being played in a reasonable shell...
+1 for list and I would +1 again for that picture/description if I could.
November 17, 2013 3:03 a.m.
For SB, why pay 2 life, when you have the same effect with gates?
November 20, 2013 1:54 a.m.
Rouges Passage FTW. +1 This deck is amazing!!!!!!!

I appreciate all the constructive criticism though. There's only so much one can do alone.
