A Simic style budget deck.

Key cards :

-Ramp mana with Gyre Sage (or Elvish Mystic)

-Draw cards and stabilize with Bident of Thassa or Ordeal of Thassa & Horizon Chimera

-Play on every turn with Prophet of Kruphix

-Turn very agressive with lots of +1/+1 Bioshifting around Centaur Battlemaster , Setessan Oathsworn and the new mana-sink Hero of Leina Tower

-Drop a massive Prime Speaker Zegana due to steroids Centaur Battlemaster / Hero of Leina Tower , and Bioshift for lethal combat damages !

Synergies :-Playing Prophet of Kruphix allow you to immediately follow by a Centaur Battlemaster .

-Playing Prime Speaker Zegana while Horizon Chimera is in play = Sphinx's Revelation with a body.

-Bident of Thassa and Prophet of Kruphix : combat phase control.

Play :

T1: Forest, Hero of Leina Tower .

T2: Island, Ordeal of Thassa > Hero of Leina Tower , hit for 2

T3: Forest, Setessan Oathsworn , Hero of Leina Tower hit for 3

T4: Land, declare attackers, sacrifices Ordeal of Thassa and draw 2 cards.

Bioshift, trigger heroic X=3 on Hero of Leina Tower , and +2 on Setessan Oathsworn , hits for 10. Distribute +1/+1 counters as you wish.

OR

T4: Land, Hidden Strings tap blocker and untap Setessan Oathsworn for heroic trigger, cipher, declare attackers, sacrifices Ordeal of Thassa . Cast Simic Charm on Setessan Oathsworn for heroic trigger and more damages. Hitting for (4+1+2+3+2) 12, copy Hidden Strings to untap your creature and trigger heroic.

Setessan Oathsworn is now 7/7 and untapped.

I really would like to thanks everyone for interest and feedback. I'm very glad you enjoyed the deck concept !

But all goods things have an end, RTR-THS is not standard anymore.

The deck is losing important key cards from RTR such as Bioshift and no real replacement comes of Tarkir, the only barely interesting card would be Hooded Hydra (fits the budget!)

Because Modern magic is really expansive, I would like to make this a modern-legal budget deck, with a maximum value of 100 $/€ I also would like to keep it strongly Simic themed, with +1/+1 counters flying around creatures and doing funny (and complex) things ?

Check the description for my list of interesting cards, and share your ideas :D
