The problem you have with including only 2 or 3 of cards rather than a playset is that you will be able to do alot of things but not be able to do any of them well. I would drop the conjurers closet for deadeye navigator because it only costs one more to play but it lets you blink spell multiple times and you get a 5/5. I would take out vorel because on its own it cant function and it is too slow to be effective. I would run a play set of hydras because they are ridiculous. take out the loxodon smiter because it doesnt have come into play effects or use 1/1 counters and so it doesnt help your deck. it may give you early game help but if you turn 1 arbor elf turn 2 farseek than turn three you can drop a thragtusk. you dont have any means of drawing cards and so you're deck can fizzle out especially if you get hit by a board wipe. you may want to run prime speaker zegana, because you can bounce it with deadeye to draw 6 cards for 2 mana. if you're going to be making copies of things might as well be a jerk and run acidic slime if you play it turn three after using an arbor elf our farseek now your opponet only has 2 lands and you have a deathtouching slime. you should be running farseeks especially with this mana colors. you may want to drop the white all together and focus on using 1/1 counters like my deck here http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/corpsejack-menace-taking-suggestions/ or just on bouncing things like in my other deck here http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/infinite-thragtusks-taking-suggestions/ feel free to comment on those decks

Dude, kingpieiv, those are some good ideas. Pretty much just have master biomancer maxed out and progenitor mimic maxed out and then run stuff that would be great blinked. That's not a bad idea at all.

If you're still having problems with aggro, Sensory Deprivation can help stop them in their tracks

I think a couple of Acidic Slime would combine perfectly with your Conjurer's Closet however I do not know what you could remove
May 26, 2013 8:35 a.m.
PS: maybe remove the hydras. yes they are awesome, but they also become primary target for removal and it's quite pointless to blink them.
May 26, 2013 8:36 a.m.
I would recommend a card like Ground Seal in the sideboard.

Hmm, you could be right knotanelf, it def wouldn't affect the way the deck plays, and would shut down some opponents decks. What would you recommend removing from the sideboard to replace with it?
June 11, 2013 9:25 p.m.
I would consider removing a swamp (as Farseek seems to enable you to get black mana) - it is noteworthy that this card can be main-decked if reanimator is a big strategy in your area (it does function as a cantrip)

Wouldn't it be better to add at least 3 of them to make it a viable sideboard option knotanelf??

Prime Speaker Zegana instead of Deadeye Navigator . Restoration Angel also, for a cheaper flicker.

also, instead of Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , you should run 1 more Thragtusk and 1 Primordial Hydra .

If I am going to do Restoration Angel , I might as well just do Cloudshift as I can only flicker once with the angel anyways, I tried running her and it was too little too late, Prime Speaker Zegana worked well, but Give / Take pretty much replaced her role entirely in the deck . . .
Just updated the description, check that out m12fox
Also, not shooting down your ideas by any means, and thank you SO much for the help so far. I'm just explaining what I have tested and run into, feel free to counter with why they might still help, or to make other suggestions on top of what you offered to make it more viable

Advent of the Wurm would be better than Acidic Slime in my opinion. swap out Feeling of Dread for Acidic Slime in the sideboard.

I might however, take out the Loxodon Smiter s, as I have Predator Ooze as my predominant 3 drop, and do the Primordial Hydra and extra Thragtusk . . . what do you think of that idea??

i think that i like that a bit more. if you want to look at it, i made a helping deck, this is my idea of what your deck should look like.

to be honset, i prefer that idea. if you want to look at it, i made a helping deck (for lack of a creative name) to show what my idea of this deck should look like.

wait, sorry for the double post, forgot to refresh the page. (now triple)

Ideally, its a land first turn, followed by an Arbor Elf , turn 2 should be another land and either a Gyre Sage or a Farseek , then turn 3 a land and Gyre Sage or Increasing Savagery on Gyre Sage then you can start dropping the nasty stuff, that's pretty much my base ramp plan.

I really like the idea of Deadeye Navigator in this deck.
+1

Thanks jokercrow! Finally someone sees the potential of him! I am actually thinking of switching gears a bit and running a version of this as Prime Speaker Bant with Deadeye Navigator instead of Restoration Angel , and some Acidic Slime in place of 2 Thragtusk . Not sure yet tho

There is not much I like more in magic than seeing an original deck. I have seen a lot of simic deck lately, but never with a twist like this one and it seems like it could work. I might make some tests with your deck soon.
Acidic Slime could definitely be awesome in your deck.
Have you also tought of cards like Elvish Visionary , Garruk's Packleader ,Gatecreeper Vine , Dungeon Geists , Armada Wurm and Centaur Healer ?
Please, look at my U-mill-iating - Cipher version and my Death by numbers. You might see something original there too.
Anyway, nice deck !

heya ;)
i would suggest Conjurer's Closet instead of Deadeye Navigator ;)

@ zandadoum, I am actually not playing this any more, I have moved to this deck - Prime Speaker Bant-ish

for this deck, Deadeye Navigator would be better since it can flicker as mana times as he wants.
ShadowLand says... #1
I have considered Cyclonic Rift Omegamerc, but I think AEtherize does a much better job than it for this style of deck. But I will have to wait to play it and see how it performs. It could be that you are right. And you make many valid points. Deck, checked out.
