scotchtapedsleeves's designs and work are the inspirations that got me interested in dolling up my deck pages so am sure he can advise.
I'm also keen to learn from him too!

Soren841 Thanks a lot, dude<3
Cloudius: Yeah, he's super cool. He did both versions of my deck and very promptly. Honestly, if I had one gripe it would be that the general font is white, which is great, but the card links are also white. Aside from that, which is super minor, if you ask me, looks perfect. Hopefully, we can do something more to make list itself contrast a little better with the background.

I think it looks perfect on mobile. I can see how the green font color could detract a bit and some users may take issue with its readability. It looks fine to me though. However, I personally have trouble reading the white text on spots of the background with the rays of light shining beneath the text (this is more apparent to me on a desktop viewport). I think that can be fixed easily though by just slightly increasing the opacity of the boxes around the content.

Yup I find it a challenge when using an Artwork in the background as the colors ain't uniform throughout and depending on the choice of font colors (not saying this deck but in general), some of them may blend into the background at certain areas.
This happened when I was customising my Athreos deck so I added the mouse over effect to enhance readability on PC, akin to what you DiverDown suggested above.

scotchtapedsleeves: Hey dude, sorry to ping you. Just wanted to credit you and at the same time I was hoping you knew how to implement what Cloudius and DiverDown were recommending and perhaps the thing I mentioned about cards being linked in the body are also white making them indistinguishable from the rest of the text around them.

Inkmoth_ Some of these I can help too but of course I'm no where as skillful as scotchtapedsleeves.

Congrats on getting 10,000 views, dude! Well deserved for the best mono-green Simic deck I’ve ever seen!

scotchtapedsleeves: Looks perfect!! Thank you so much! I think it's perfect as it is. :D

Pretty gross deck. Just got my ass handed to me on cockatrice. Nice work, bro. Didn't see it coming at all.

Are you sure about including Genesis Hydra? It seems like you have enough ways to assemble a win and it could be better served as something else. How essential has it been in games? Also, why not run Mana Vault ? You're weak to Null Rod anyways because your wincon involves an artifact. With Yeva at 4 mana, a 1 drop that adds 3 seems really solid.

I would also advise against Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland. I'm sure the colorless is important but there are better lands that produce colorless. These are straight up not good.
Also, for better grave hate, try Ravenous Slime

It has saved me 3 times already, once against an Aetherflux Reservoir hitting me for 50 and another was a Song of the Dryads on a Staff of Domination . Which was crazy. I play around rod easily since the loops established can already kill it before Thousand-Year Elixir makes it into the scene. Once I'm going for that line, there's not much that can stop it cause it means I've acquired infinite mana. It also lets me pivot to the mill loop efficiently in the situation where Geier Reach Sanitarium gets stuck in the hand. It has also gotten me Cloudstone Curio when Temur Sabertooth got exiled.
Last but not least, getting rid of it removes my ability to instant kill, making me solely rely on the mill combo which might help my opponent. I honestly thought this was a pet card, but it's the one card that allows me to play anything out of my deck and my most precision-based outlet.
Myriad Landscape : I totally agree, especially since Ambush Commander might be coming out soon, but I still need more testing, so I need about another week, since I won't be playing much this weekend, but it seems definite.
Ravenous Slime : It's actually in my SB to stop Flash + Hulk , but I've been dealing with a lot noncreature recursion lately, so Scooze is in the main board.
Mana Vault : Has been in and out, but I'm honestly happy where I am at in the artifact ramp, if I feel like that becomes its shortcoming, I'll revisit this.

And obviously Im against Ambush Commander because of the making ur lands creatures. Replace it with Wilderness Reclamation ? Or is that too meh?

Soren841: I've been trying Umbral Mantle in its slot.

Really cool deck! I love the design! I would highly suggest Vedalken Orrery because it's nice to have a little redundancy especially if Yeva gets removed.
February 26, 2019 11:05 a.m.
Deadpoo111: The deck is actually not starved of this ability. The reason why is because getting rid of Yeva is never a factor because I always unload my hand in response to whatever removal she's targeted with and she is never out unless I have stuff worthy of being played. She herself has flash which is why she's fundamentally better than Orrery in the context of this deck.

Inkmoth Probably stupid question as it's probably obvious, but does flash work with commanders? If so, my next deck will probably end up being some flash commander. It would pave way for a

scotchtapedsleeves: It would pave way for a..... Leaving me in suspense there, dude lol. If you mean whether or not I can cast her at instant speed from the command zone, yes you can. It's honestly what makes her so strong and has made me find a lot of success with her. If she didn't have flash I don't think this deck would've come to fruition lol.

Thanks! Sorry about that cutoff sentence, my internet drops really often and sometimes when I post comments the page doesn't load and a few words disappear. To be honest, I don't remember what I was going to say! Sorry about that

I'd assume that this is a decision based on your meta, but is the Ravenous Slime in the board due to a lack of flash-hulk decks about?
Also, a few tests show that you could think about running Scrying Sheets , Arch of Orazca , Sea Gate Wreckage , Isolated Watchtower , Strip Mine , Wasteland - all of these are low-power & will likely take time to notice the advantage that they give, but it's relevant.
Brown Ouphe stops a reservoir activation; not great for hate - but it does work. This can also stop dramatic scepter. Ouphe Vandals does this as a one-shot vs triggered abilities too. Just saying
Lastly I'd like to ask: are the fetches used for shuffling away cards returned via sylvan library, or am I missing an alternate benefit?
