wallisface Green is super-anti-flying, but cards with flying and a green ability keep being printed. Why is red first strike + green deathtouch a bend? As far as deathstrike goes, first strike is tertiary in black and a non-ability in green, and this only appears on Glissa, the Traitor and Glissa Sunslayer.

Daveslab2022 Would you consider cards like Recoil, Lightning Helix, the guild charms like Selesnya Charm, or Putrefy bad design, boring, or unintuitive? I understand that + =/= . I'm wondering why that's the case.
I completely understand that there's an active effort to prevent color pairs from feeling too samey, and in interest of completion, I feel obligated to say that Voracious Cobra exists. But I still have some questions.
Is there an absolute prohibition on red-green deathstrike? If so, what distinguishes red-green deathstrike from black-green flying/vigilance?
Is there simply too much overlap between 's dedicated removal and deathstrike?
With Ambush Viper, Ice-Fang Coatl, Winged Coatl, and Fleetfeather Cockatrice, is instant-speed creature spot removal more acceptable in than in ?
What makes Golgari Death Swarm a better creative choice than Warrant / Warden, and why did that get printed if it's an inferior choice?
Is there any potential for a card like Warp World or The Great Aurora to be made in ? Why or why not?

Double blue isn't my issue. Snapcaster is great because it can be an Ambush Viper on turn two, it can save you from two lethal attackers by chumping one and Unholy Heating another. Its a significantly powerful effect.
That being said you can use Briefing as a card in some lists from mill to control variants, but you'd be amiss to think it really compares favorably at all, and for tempo lists that use snap it'd be better to find a wholly different axis to gain an advantage.

MagicMarc: Thank you for the feedback. I've tweaked the card choices and numbers for years, so I really appreciate the positive opinion about that. In 1v1, it can many times win by grinding. I don't have much interaction, and that might be a weakness. I usually balance this by having very efficient creatures. Many of the big snakes scale very well over the course of a game (pun not intended...). I can't say a lot about multiplayer, though. I could add some Ambush Viper, I guess.
Regarding Oracle: The first iterations of the deck massively overloaded on 2-drops. Snakes have many great 2-drops, but cutting down on these is key to having a functioning mana curve. It's an awesome card, but it doesn't fit the Rest of the gameplan.

While I hate playing against counter-heavy decks, and probably shouldn't help them improve, I do have some ways to (hopefully) make the deck better:
-
If you're going to play any of the eternal formats, I think Ice-Fang Coatl over Ambush Viper and play snow lands is better, if you want an instant-speed deathtoucher.
-
As is, you're running too few lands, given the amount of 4-drops. Also, I'd play some amount of Rewind, as it lets you counter a spell AND play a threat on turn 4+.
-
Brazen Borrower is probably the best interaction this deck has access to and it's definitely a stronger card than Faerie Duelist. Unless you're going for a budget deck.
-
From my experience, Brineborn Cutthroat is better than Wildborn Preserver. You're not always sitting on mana to pump the Preserver and they get worse in multiples. Cutthroat doesn't.
-
Sea-Dasher Octopus could be nice in some amount, as it can start drawing extra cards as soon as turn 2 off of a turn 1 Spectral Sailor.
-
Titanic Growth is underwhelming in flash decks. They just need to tempo out the opponent, which is best done with value creatures and bounce and/or counter spells.
-
Frilled Mystic is a great tempo play. If you up the land count, you should play all 4.
Hope that helps. Good luck with the deck!
