The main idea is to get out Gilder Bairn with Karametra's Favor on it and Gyre Sage and pump Gyre Sage up to a ridiculous level. Then use artful dodge or trample for a kill move. I have several ways to add counters(Forced Adaptation, Bioshift, and evolve). There are some fun things in there like Simic Manipulator to steal creatures and Prophet of Kruphix to speed things up. I'm trying to keep it low mana cost and as cheap as I can (I know bairn and prophet aren't cheap, but they are key). Any ideas on how to increase consistency or effectiveness are welcome. And ideas on how to make it more versatile, there are some big weaknesses, like to black and kill spells, are welcome as well.
