Lorescale Coatl+ Shielding Plax is the primary win-con because of all the draw. I tried to balance synergy across all the creatures so no single one has to be relied upon to win though.

If only Damia, Sage of Stone was legal. I really can't wait for Genesis Hydra too.....

Ideal Hand/Play

Turn 1: Overgrown Tomb > Noble Hierarch

Turn 2: Hinterland Harbor / Gemstone Mine > Lorescale Coatl

Turn 3: Any land > Corpsejack Menace

Turn 4: Zameck Guildmage > UG Draw > 6/6 Snake

You should have 4 cards in hand, excusing opponent disruption. If you drop a land on turn 4 and a second Noble Hierarch too then...

Turn 5 Prime Speaker Zegana > draw 17 cards > 42/42 Lorescale Coatl

FUN THINGS!

Corpsejack Menace and Lorescale Coatl 2 counters per drawn card. Cheeky!

Corpsejack Menace and Bioshift DOUBLE THE COUNTER! DOUBLE THE FIST!! SNAKE STRIKE! HYA!

Corpsejack Menace and Master Biomancer 4 counters on each new creature, minimum. Sneaky snakey.

Corpsejack Menace and Zameck Guildmage 2 counters for UG, nice and cheap, good to cast with Master Biomancer

Corpsejack Menace and Vorel of the Hull Clade play so well together for creature buffs, but Gemstone Mine is also a useful target for Vorel of the Hull Clade by itself.

Zameck Guildmage and Lorescale Coatl UG draw a card and ADD a token instead when combined with our lovely Corpsejack Menace.

Suggestions are welcome, sideboard is not final yet either.
