Looking for feedback on how a deck like this would perform against MBD MUD and U/W Control and the variants of the 3. I've played around with it a bit but getting feedback for it would be nice.

A deck I'm working on so I can ween myself off of bant and play my true colors. (Simic). Seen this deck idea floating around and now I'm tweaking it a bit as the flavor text for Whelming Wave has me stuck on how awesome it'd be to run a deck utilizing all 3 major Merfolk ladies. Zegana, Thassa, and Kiora to drown the competition.

Arbor Colossus Serves the purpose of adding an extra threat to the deck that can help with any issues with fliers.

Courser of Kruphix Is a house when paired with Kiora. It tells you when the best time to go for the minus ability and even if the draw is a bust as far as lands go, the next top could be what you're looking for.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave Fixes one issue i've had with ramp decks this set. The heavy reliance on mana dorks in the absence of things like farseek, being able to be ahead of things in the land department puts me at ease as a board sweep in my other decks kills off my threats and any real hope in playing future threats.

Prime Speaker Zegana Another big threat and refuels the hand.

Steam Vents Figured there's not a lot of blue in this deck so stacking it with a red to make sure i have what I need for BTE isn't too bad an idea. Its still under testing at the moment.

Sylvan Primordial It seems like a meh pick at first. But this thing does exactly what this deck wants. Planeswalkers? Lands? Both are viable targets for Sylvan Prime which then proceeds to ramp you up into more land as well as giving you more mana symbols for Nykthos along with reach. People are going to question Sylvan Prime but I promise with some testing your opinion will be swayed.

The rest should be pretty self explanatory.

Girls Night Out — March 4, 2014

Edit

Okay...Okay. After long deliberation...Thassa, God of the Sea is in. After a bit of play testing she's almost everything I want. She may never become a creature in this deck but as an indestructible scrying unblockable granting enchantment I can drop and blow mana into....uumm.....2 please. Witchstalker is cool in some cases as an annoyance. But Thassa late game is a win condition so she and the girls are all together again. And They can't stop, They won't stop. It is them who rule the Night. Can't you see? It is them who's bout that Life.

Thassa, God of the Sea doesn't party often but when she's with her girls she warms up a bit even though she's a bit angry at Kiora for stealing one of her boy toys from her. Kiora's Follower

Kiora, the Crashing Wave is a girl who's just in it for fun she's usually first at a part scoping out the scene making all the boys stare, paralyzed at her beauty attracting all kinds of attention. But she's been known to have some rather unruly friends crash the parties she goes to.

Prime Speaker Zegana is the life of the party. Kiora and Thassa make things happen, Zegana is a bit of a wet noodle when the party is just starting but if it has just a little bit of life in it then she gets absolutely crazy, ESPECIALLY when Kiora has her friends over. If your party is good, then Zegana will tell you...and EVERYONE Else.

In short.

-2 Witchstalker +2 Thassa, God of the Sea -1 Forest +1 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
