So I've played this deck a few times now, and it is performing much better than I thought it would. Still has some major flaws, but actually hits pretty hard. Kaseto turns out to be a pretty effective commander.

I made this deck mainly because I liked the name. But I also wanted to see if I could make snake tribal work. Besides the obvious tribal mechanics, this deck goes for a poison/proliferate strategy, with Kaseto, Orochi Archmage making the poison counter snakes unblockable. I've also won a couple times on commander damage. It turns out when your commander can both pump himself and become unblockable, and you have a deck devoted to boosting his creature type, he can hit pretty hard.

Suggestions welcome. In particular, one thing the deck lacks is creature removal. It's got a few options, but can't do much against major threats. Maybe some ways to add more -1/-1 counters would work with the proliferate to help. But I couldn't find much to do that in simic colors
