What are the most playable options for Simic midrange "Removal"?
What I can think of:
Curse of the Swine
Polymorphist's Jest
Turn to Frog
Setessan Tactics
Thoughts? Comparisons? Suggestions?

What about AEtherspouts? While it's not amazing, it generally does work.
There is also Whelming Wave.

Forgot AEtherspouts!
Whelming Wave is a tough sell in my midrange deck... I've seen people try to play it in a Kiora, the Crashing Wave control she'll alongside Omenspeaker. Neat idea.

Setessan Tactics is by and large the most effective removal I've found for this archetype.

I would avoid underWhelming Wave because it says "octopuses". Like what?
But yea, Tactics is best.

@ tman007: oof, yeah, I never noticed that horrendous grammar on Whelming Wave. C'mon, Wizards!!

Polukranos, World Eater = Beater with built in removal.

tman007, JakeHarlow - The usual plural in English is "octopuses" (pronounced /ktpsz/), but the Greek plural form "octopodes" (pronounced /ktpdiz/) is sometimes used, though less frequently than in the past.[49] The form "octopi", as if the word were a Latin second-declension noun, is generally considered incorrect.

- It's not a latin word so octopi is not correct. It is English so octopuses is ok. It's originally Greek so octopodes it also correct.

Wow. I learned something today. I'm a student of Latin and Greek and I didn't know that (and I have an MA in medieval Greek...so I feel kinda dumb :-/) I knew Latin borrowed octopus from the Greek, but since it has no standard way of reflectively declining borrowed Greek nouns like "foot" (pos, podos, etc), it just grouped it into the 2nd declension, as it often did. Didn't know that this was considered wrong though. I guess I heard folks say "Octopi" too often and though nothing of it. :)
