When the Simic guild came out in Ravnica during my time away from the game, it almost drew me back in. With Return to Ravnica I fell back in at the deep end and returned to my beloved G/u deck. This little monster is here not necessarily to have creatures that are big right off the bat, but to make EVERYTHING HUGE.

Primarily, I mean to use Master Biomancer to give everything counters, and Kalonian Hydra to generate even MORE.

The Progenitor Mimic is there to clone something I'm lacking in, be it the amount of Biomancers, maybe Experiment One for something a little trickier to remove, maybe another Hydra to QUADRUPLE the counters on everything.

To that end, there are some Clones in there too, however their intended purpose is to clone the Mimic, as when they copy one another you get a very rapidly chaotic field presence. (Plus, if they're copies of Master Biomancer each gets stronger!)

We have our Nylea, God of the Hunt and Archetype of Imagination so that the creatures can get past a decent array of blockers, though the Archetype can be replaced with the Archetype of Endurance for some survivability against removal decks.

Throw in some Kiora, the Crashing Wave for a 9/9 Kraken PER TURN, a couple Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Courser of Kruphix, and Prophet of Kruphix for mana generation (also, who else is super excited for Kruphix itself to come out?) and some cards to move / save (Bioshift) and create counters ( Give ) and the monster is complete.

I currently don't own most of the power cards in this deck, (the deck it's based on in the bottom right is as it stands in reality,) but when I've accumulated everything I look forward to trying this thing's hand at FNM's.

I'm not experienced on the competitive scene, nor do I REALLY know the current meta, so any feedback is much appreciated. :)

Preperations for Born of the Gods — Jan. 27, 2014

Edit

With the entire set having been spoiled recently, I've put in all the updates I think fit from the new set. Notably:

2x Kiora, the Crashing Wave because who DOESN'T need a 9/9 Kraken each turn?

2x Archetype of Imagination to replace the Sapphire Drakes

2x Courser of Kruphix instead of the old Gyre Sage, having permanent ramp in the form of land is more useful, as one return to hand puts the Sage out of business, plus the Courser is only G more expensive.

2x Peregrination instead of the old Urban Evolution, might switch this back but getting land out is ALWAYS useful in a deck this heavily green.

2x Skyreaping instead of the Mutant's Prey because without the Archetype this deck will suffer against flying creatures (Hence the sideboarded Arbor Colossus' for heavily flyer decks)

I also took out the Dissolve for Divination and the extra draw power has been super useful.
