Around three-fourths of the cards in this deck are from one of the nine Ravnican expansions or from the Simic Guild Kit, or else are very obviously from Ravnica despite being printed in another set, like Lonis, Cryptozoologist or Bounding Krasis. I still tried to restrict the remaining quarter, nearly half of which are nonbasic lands, to cards that fit the theme of Simic. Obviously, this deck will not be the most competitive, but it is my hope that it will have a decent amount of synergy and, most importantly, be reasonably balanced against other casual decks. I also left around a hundred cards that were cut from the final build in the Maybeboard section, so there's a lot of options if anyone wants to make the deck more competitive or remove all of the non-Ravnican cards. If you're looking to save money, you could try replacing Birds of Paradise with Llanowar Elves, Doubling Season with Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Pemmin's Aura with Freed from the Real, and Breeding Pool/Rejuvenating Springs with Rimewood Falls/Thornwood Falls.

If anyone's curious, this deck was made to comply with the deck-building constraints that my friends and I created, at least as of November 2021. To elaborate, a deck consists of 100 cards (including your commander) worth $1 or less, except 1 card can be worth up to $100, 5 additional cards can be worth up to $20, and as many as 20 other cards can be worth up to $5. In addition, a player can upgrade an extra card to $5/$20 for every 2 lands in that category. Use the TCGplayer market price for a card's cheapest variant when evaluating prices, except Sol Ring is considered to be worth $100.

Win Conditions: Place at least 20 growth counters on Simic Ascendancy or reduce each of your opponents' life totals to zero. (You could also consider playing Darksteel Reactor)

Infinite Mana Combo: Pemmin's Aura can potentially be used to produce infinite mana when attached to any of the following creatures: Incubation Druid (with a +1/+1 counter), Gyre Engineer (will only produce infinite green mana), Kiora's Follower (will only produce infinite green mana and only by untapping a permanent that produces , like Simic Growth Chamber or a Forest enchanted with Utopia Sprawl)

Other EDH Guild Decks: The Gruul Clans, The Izzet League, House Dimir, The Orzhov Syndicate, The Boros Legion, The Golgari Swarm, The Selesnya Conclave, The Azorius Senate
