Biovisionary deck. Tried to build around Spy Kit , and this is the only type of deck that can consistently take advantage of it. Because both can take advantage of Bifurcate , Retraced Image and Mask of the Mimic , this spawned the secondary aspect of the deck. Biovisionary is inherently weak to not-being-on-the-battlefield. There is a lot of removal that can ruin the day of a Biovisionary deck, and you can't just count on graveyard interaction because of all the exile, and relying on counterspells seems to make it even more inconsistent (and bad in multiplayer).

Bifurcate + Spy Kit can not only fetch Biovisionary, it can also fetch any non-legendary creature out of our deck. Mask of the Mimic can lead to some more trickery because of instant speed.

Retraced Image + Spy Kit could do the same but from hand or accelerate the Biovisionary plan, but it does not make the cut at the moment.

The random targets:

• Stormtide Leviathan to lock down the game for ground-based agressive decks

• Archetype of Endurance is good if I am fighting against removal from abilities and spot removal

• Sphinx of the Steel Wind fights against threats in the air and keeps the life total high

• Platinum Angel if I am in immediate risk of loosing (I also got it a lot cheaper than what is displayed here, which is why it is here)

Some ramp in form of defenders which will hopefully shield me from early aggression. Sylvan Caryatid having hexproof is also critical since we need reliable targets or removal spells will ruin my day.

A few Sea Gate Oracle to improve the draw and as sac fodder.
