Ramp

We have the normal green sorceries, but in addition since we are a token deck Ashnod's Altar , Cryptolith Rite , and Growing Rites of Itlimoc   are all stars. When we have to spells to generate saprolings a lot of mana is required to activate the abilities of Slimefoot, Jade Mage , and Nemata, Grove Guardian .

To this end we use Boundless Realms , Zendikar Resurgent , Caged Sun , Seedborn Muse , and Wilderness Reclamation to rapidly improve our board state.

TOKENS!

We have a lot of spells that generate saprolings, but Parallel Lives , Doubling Season , Primal Vigor , Tendershoot Dryad , or Verdant Force are the heavy hitters.

Mycoloth , Second Harvest , and Saproling Symbiosis are all great secondary plays to amass the Flood.

Bleed Em Dry

Simefoot, the Stowaway, Blood Artist , Poison-Tip Archer , Vindictive Vampire , Falkenrath Noble , and Zulaport Cutthroat are our main win strategy. To find them we have a lot of card draw. If we do not or they are removed we will win through combat.

Mass Sac Outlets

Ashnod's Altar , Utopia Mycon , Deathspore Thallid , Fungal Plots , Krav, the Unredeemed , Viscera Seer , Yahenni, Undying Partisan , and Dimir House Guard are the spells you want one of to win at instant speed with drain/ping. Other sac outlets are in the deck but are more for utility and require more stringent activation costs.

The Best Laid Plans...

The secondary win condition for this deck when for say your opponents keep removing sac outlets is token beat down with Beastmaster Ascension , Thunderfoot Baloth , Coat of Arms , and Obelisk of Urd .

The nuclear option is Tainted Strike , but we save that for when the board is otherwise locked up. This is the only infect card in the deck since having Grafted Exoskeleton , Phyresis , and Glistening Oil included would make it the main win condition.

Why So Few Fungi?

I found most to be very slow and would rather ramp into using pay to win activated abilities and card draw. The ones I kept are sac outlets or have great static abilities.
