Nyxbloom Ancient

Enchantment Creature — Elemental

Trample

If you tap a permanent for mana, it produces three times as much of that mana instead.

My argument with Genesis Wave is that it isn’t good in a deck with Hydras as the majority of the creature base since every Hydra you hit with it will be a flop since they would come in and then die so I would remove that from the deck and maybe swap in a card like Green Sun's Zenith or Torment of Hailfire

One thing that I would also say is necessary are some good mana doublers and ramp. Zendikar Resurgent , Mana Reflection , Dictate of Karametra , and Nyxbloom Ancient will all let you just dump a lot of mana into your x spells to get more value out of them.

Golgari Signet, Dimir Signet, and Simic Signet might be better stones, They're cheaper without the pinging yourself, but also have the advantage of adding 2 mana which synergizes better with Nyxbloom Ancient and Mana Reflection

Beanstalk got switched for Nyxbloom Ancient; Search for tomorrow got replaced with a more reliable Rampant Growth, and I took out a card that has been with the deck since the very first, enrage version, Ranging Raptors, and put in Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.

Wash your hands!!

I will say the downside to running x cost draw is, yes it's effective and you can draw... a LOT, however no matter what deck it's in it's going to be slow. You're going to expend your hand before you can dump enough mana into that draw card to want to bother with it. I think a Finale of Revelation could be an interesting include. If you're wanting to pump that card draw to get as much card advantage as possible, you may as well get some lands back out of it. I think the mana ramp above from king-saproling are all good suggestions, and are going to help you get the mana necessary for those x draw spells. Otherwise you might want to take advantage of like... depending on how much you rely on creatures, taking out Nyxbloom Ancient for an Zendikar Resurgent so you draw on creature cast. I know it's not as good mana ramp, but maybe there's another deckslot where you can fit in both? I know you're already considering this but I definitely think it would help.

Beast Whisperer. See here's the thing, you're playing simic. The color combo I hate the most because two of the people in my meta play it and they frequently beat me with it. Simic is probably the best colors in the history of ever for card draw. It's disgusting. Edric, Spymaster of Trest. Swing with those mana dorks at an open player when you're not using them.

Maybe throw in a Prime Speaker Zegana. Oh no!!! I'm going to draw 13 cards off of my 13/13 Emrakul.....

Just some thoughts :)

Ziabo like a dream! Made it so I could go wheel into wheel and flood the field for game. That and Nyxbloom Ancient are two huge new additions.

I know about that lovely little combo, I use Verdant Haven or Gift of Paradise though in its place as I don’t actually have Utopia Sprawl

Playing with a few ideas for when my 4 Nyxbloom Ancient come in from good ol usps. Any other recommendations?

Nyxbloom Ancient is great for getting you lots of mana for other big cards as well as having trample (so Mwonvuli Beast Tracker can fetch him). Also, Atarka, World Render is as big of a beater as Ghalta is, and also has flying and incidentally doubles the power of your other dragons. My last suggestion would be Reap the Past. It is random, but definitely worth it to use after a board wipe. Since you have a lot of cards that ramp your lands, even after a boardwipe you will be able to get most of the destroyed cards back.

I have several suggestions:

Pathbreaker Ibex would be a fantasic finisher in a big green beats deck.

Traverse the Outlands would ramp hard with all these big creatures.

Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig comes in early and just gets bigger as the game goes on.

Asceticism will protect your big greenies while giving some kind of recovery to board wipes.

Nyxbloom Ancient would produce all the mana.

Guardian Project is good card draw in a creature heavy deck like this.

Nessian Boar plays into your theme of big green for a measly five mana.

If I think of more, I'll be back...
