My deck is very similar to yours, so you can look at my deck called Enter the Omniscience. Just so you can get an idea possibly.

Sorry that leads to a different deck. Go to this Enter the Omniscience and Counters (I changed the name).

A fun card I've run in decks that involve 1/1 counters and used Ixidron since the counters stay your creatures are now stronger :D I used that + Primal Rage .

Yeah, Ixidron seems like a semi-boardwipe that favors me. Except I don't think theres a single creature in my deck that doesn't have an ability it would lose. It's good, but I don't think it would be very fun getting just vanilla creatures.

Just curious, how would you prevent tapping your own stuff by Tangle Wire ?

Probably would be Prophet of Kruphix mainly. Murkfiend Liege as well as Seedborn Muse are cards that I'll probably be adding eventually, however they're a bit expensive.

However with Tangle Wire , I don't need everything untapped, just enough to use Vorel's ability on other things, then back to tangle wire once it loses a couple counters.

Also, it'll give me pretty much 1 extra turn for my permanents, as I can double the counters on Tangle Wire after my own upkeep, and right before my opponents.

For Enchantments:You should consider adding Asceticism , to get some protection to your creatures.

You might also like Copy Enchantment , with that you can make a copy from your Doubling Season or just steal something funny from your enemies.

For Creatures:You might like Mycoloth that guy can make you tens of thousands of saprolings with Vorel of the Hull Clade

Predator Ooze is one tough motherfcker and Vigor can protect your creatures really well!Scavenging Ooze for clearing graveyards.

For Instants:Bioshift is something you should really get. It helps so much with navigating the +1/+1 counters around and makes a nice combo with Mycoloth or Triskelion . It also triggers the effect of Doubling Season with the counters you move to another permanent.

I know some of these cards might be pricey but it's up to you. I got so many ideas for you because I got somewhat similiar edh deck of my own. Go check it out if you would spot some card you need. +1 anyways!:)

I was looking at Time Bomb as a possible Win con for a very similar Vorel Deck.

Once you double Eternity Vessel you should be safely above the lethal amount. Then Blow up the world, drop a land, and carry on your merry way. Many Simic creatures have regen or other kinds of protection.

What do you think?

I was considering TIme bomb, it was between that and Otherworld Atlas . I just found that Otherworld would be more fun, as drawing 30+ cards or so is ridiculous.

Saitam, I thought i had asceticism in there somewhere, il need to find something to cut for it, as well as Copy Enchantment . Predator Ooze seems a bit slow and the triple green is pretty hard to cast, especially since I don't as many duals as I would like. I do own Mycoloth and Scavenging Ooze already. Scavenging was probably going in for graveyard hate.

Vigor is definitely out of my price range atm. I'd rather buy Seedborn Muse or Kalonian Hydra first.

Copy Enchantment was definitely something that I didn't see before though, and this has more useful enchantments than artifacts.

Otherworld Atlas is not really an awesome card to use here. In most cases I avoid giving my opponents ANYTHING much less anything for free.

Saitam has some great ideas up there.

In general I dislike Simic's lack of control cards (excluding counter spells, which I don't use).

In EDH it is often even more important to have some answers for your opponents than to have a fast, smooth deck pushing toward it's own win-con. Somebody will always have slightly better luck than you at drawing what they needed.

Anyway I noticed you deck was somewhat lacking in control cards and I wanted to ask you opinion on a few options I'm using in my deck:

Gleeful Sabotage I was thinking that this card could really be worth it's rather high casting cost if you are able to get some tokens down.

Cyclonic Rift Why aren't you running this card? It is pretty much the most powerful Blue control spell in the game right now, especially in multiplayer EDH.

Equilibrium Unsummon isn't a terribly powerful form of control but when it's very cheap and reusable it's pretty hard to pass up.

Treachery Nearly a $10 card because it's BROKENLY AWESOME. I often Net mana when I untap my lands after using this card!

Ulvenwald Tracker I figured this guy will always be pretty useful, but he's even cooler when you have Vigor on the board!

I'd like to hear your comments on these simic defensive options.

My Simic deck is Accounting class with Vorel! if you're interested

Gleeful Sabotage doesn't have a high casting cost in mana but the "Conspire" part adds up pretty fast unless you have tokens.... Figured I'd clarify what I meant.

Ulvenwald Tracker just isnt very reliable in my opinion, someones going to have some way to remove it, plus he takes a turn to do anything.

I'm not including Cyclonic Rift at the moment because its 5$, which is just a bit too much right now. I'll be getting one once it rotates.

I'd rather stick to the counter theme, so although treachery and Equilibrium are good, it doesnt fit. I already have Cytoplast Manipulator and Simic Manipulator .
