So this is supposed to be a new and interesting way to play coco, with more lines than stack up spirits of fill the board as fast as you can.

The main inspiration of the deck was to use fblthp as a source of card advantage, but most of ways to cheat him from the library are terrible. Coco puts the creatures onto the battlefield from the deck so hitting him off coco will be a draw 2 and a 3 cmc creature which is a good deal for 4 mana at instant speed, and will get you to the next coco faster. That was always a coco problem, if you didn't win fast sometimes you would run out of gas but between the uro and the smol boi card draw is prevalent.

A core of the deck is just the big green coco dummies that are just good, including lovestruck beast. this card is enabled by 11 cards in our deck, plus casting 1/1.

The weird targets are rotting regisaur and jace. To up the power level of the deck, I wanted the late game beater of uro, but the problem is it is hard to fill the graveyard without dedicating the deck to it. So rotting regisaur is a massive beater that activated rhonas and fills the graveyard, and with the card draw it won't hurt our stamina that much. Jace loots, both getting us to value cards and filling the graveyard for uro, but he also flips into both a very good planeswalker as well as another try at collected company. The pressure applied by flipping this card is incredible and it slides into coco pretty well.

Murderous rider gives some value either as a great removal or a decent body off of coco.

I know the assassin's trophys decrease the viability of coco, but i think they are very important removal and that is why there are 2 slots for them in the main. if they are hit by coco, that sucks but we have a ton of card draw, so hopefully that doesn't happen, which of course means it will happen every single coco, but its really debatable if I want those, or a full murderous rider playset in the main.

The sideboard gives rec-sage for artifacts and enchantments because its basically the law, but it also allows for a transition to a control deck as a surprise, and yeah its pretty much BUG pile at that point but I like sticking it to the people with control. And absolutely juking people when they try to sideboard for a coco deck.
