Simic what?
Deck Help forum

As much as I've been looking around the web, I haven't seen a competitive Simic deck in Standard anywhere. I've made a few decks myself, like Back to Basics Simic and it consistently fails to finish in my local FNM Top-8.
I get that it's one of the weakest guilds in Standard, but is there ANY way it can succeed?
I'm looking for recommendations as to the best cards for a competitive Simic deck in the current format.
I do love Master Biomancer , Vorel of the Hull Clade and the occasional Prime Speaker Zegana . I am on a pretty tight budget, and now saving up for a couple Kalonian Hydra . Any help and all suggestions appreciated!
I would check out this build:
It seems like its a strong build. It seems that the best way to build Simic right now is essentially Mono- Green Devotion with blue splashed in, but that's just my opinion.

There has been one successful competitive simic deck shown here it came in the top eight.
So Simic Flash seems the best way to go right now. :3

Thanks Epoc, wasn't sure if this was Deck Help or not since it's sorta General, sorta not.
Snowstorm That deck does look interesting. It does remind me of the one I put together and linked above.
Kiora, the Crashing Wave looks kinda cool, but I'm not sure she's going to boost Simic the way it needs. I always looked at Simic as evolution and playing with counters, but if the best decks are flashes and instants it's rather disappointing, but at the same time kinda interesting in that it's uncharacteristic of the most apparent guild theme.

standard Simic lost a lot of power at last rotation. I am a pretty dedicated simic player and have yet to come up with a solid enough to build to win consistently. Mostly splashing a third color seems to help but the land based to maintain that is killer.
here is my best attempt. Savage Simic

I think for simic to work you really have to abuse Prophet of Kruphix and Hydras. I playtested one on this site a while back that was very aggressive. It ramped and beat down rather quickly. The key card was the prophet and being able to all your lands and flash in creatures had it getting out of hand rather quickly.

Im a really big simic player and i've built a very successful deck. If you want you can look at the deck its called Simic of the theros sea

I like Cloudfin Raptor , but it performs really slow more times than not. I've heard of decks that work a lot off of Flash, like Horizon Chimera , Briarpack Alpha , and Shambleshark , but I can't seem to put anything good together. My best shot is my Flash of Simic deck.
