"The most successful of Simic creations is cytoplasm, a living, symbiotic substance that feeds off genetic rhythms and strengthens its host in return."

Zameck, Cytoplast Laboratory

Zameck, the new guildhall of the Simic Combine, has risen again after the destruction of Novijen and the fall of the mad tirany of Momir Vig. Prime Speaker Vannifar has foreseen the threat of Nicol Bolas. She’s preparing an army of hybrid soldiers, all of them modified with cytoplasts to adapt them to the devastating war that is about to happen in Ravnica. One of his most succesful creations is Roalesk, the leader of a group of powerful mutans. They’ve heard the call of Ravnica and they’re ready to defend their plane against all odds.

{GU} Grafting cytoplasts

The deck runs several cards that put +1/+1 counters and follow mechanics related with them (Graft, Evolve, Proliferate...).

There are some tools for implanting cytoplasts on the creatures like: Master Biomancer or Verdurous Gearhulk. Some creatures give abilities to all others that have cytoplasts on them like: Tuskguard Captain, Sapphire Drake or Sporeback Troll.

{GU} Artificial Selection

For helping our developing mutants, we need some control elements for manipulating the environment where they will grow.

Some of them remove creatures that may compete with them for the same resources like Winged Coatl, Rapid Hybridization, Aether Gale. Artifacts and enchantments aren't a problem anymore with the help of Trygon Predator, Reclamation Sage or Acidic Slime.

{GU} Avant-garde Greenhouse

Our mutants deserve the best conditions for growing strong and healthy and that's why we support them with several effects, like:

• Recursion (Eternal Witness).
• Card drawing (Urban Evolution).

{GU} Amphibians and reptiles, the supreme race

There's a small Frog-Snake theme, represented by cards like Winged Coatl or Plaxcaster Frogling.

Some of them (Turn to Frog, Snakeform, Polymorphist's Jest) can be used for creating a moment of weakness for the opponent, as they turn their creatures into vanilla frogs for a moment. This can reverse the situation and give us a favored position for the rest of the game.

{GU} Possible combos

I’ve made serious changes to the deck to help with its new strategy. I still don’t have info on this subject, but I’ll update this section when I discover nice synergies and combos as I play with it.

Triumvirate of Commanders

This simic deck has been designed to fit the playstyle of three different legendary creatures. You can use any of them as your commander and have a different game experience every time:

• Roalesk, Apex Hybrid, the main commander.
• Rashmi, Eternities Crafter.
• Vorel of the Hull Clade.
