Midrange Spike / Simic deck that aims to dominate the upper levels of the food chain. Species Gorger enables a refresh of the spikes and other +1/+1 counter sources.

Once you've grafted a +1/+1 counter onto the gorger, Cytoplast Root-Kin can be used to improve it further. Gorger can also refresh depleted Vigean Hydropons and Spike Soldiers.

Horned Helm help you punch through more damage for Bred for the Hunt, and they can also be used to keep a spike soldier or spike feeder alive after it depletes itself.

Frequently graft counters off the Hydropons: that's what they're around for. Refresh them when you can. They can also be surprise predators with Hunt the Weak: the extra food will make them last a bit longer.
