Basic strategy - get really big and squash the opponent.

Watch for things like: Corpsejack Menace into Prophet of Kruphix then Kalonian Hydra on their turn.

Use Base deck as shown against most midrange opponents. Against Selesnya, watch out for the charms. Don't over commit on one creature unless needed. Don't get greedy. Putrefy their fliers or things with reach and try to use your birds to fly over them, while keeping the ground game in a stalemate.

Against Aggro-Weenie deck, swap out the Putrefy's for the Jace, Architect of Thought

Against Mono-Black Devotion, swap out the Slitherhead for the Experiment One

Against Mono-Blue Devotion, swap out the Slitherhead for the Gainsay. Use them and Putrefy for the big threats. (Gainsay ideally for Thassa or Master of Waves) Also swap out 2 2 Vorel of the Hull Clade and 1 Vastwood Hydra for 3 mistcutter

Against Red - Swap out the 3 Putrefy for the 3 Simic Charm Use primarily to keep your engine cards alive, Fathom Mage, Corpsejack Menace, and Prophet of Kruphix
