A BUG deck built around Vizier of the Menagerie. If you have never played with this card, it gives you a huge psuedo-card advantage and lets you cheat out several creatures a turn. It's also really nice to see what's coming next from your deck.

The creatures in the deck are just ones that I think are very effective - you can change them up with you have available and what works for you. Narnam Renegade and Gifted Aetherborn in the early game really slows down your opponent and can take their creatures with them later in the game. Bone Picker is also a crazy value - you can play it for one black mana after one of your creatures or their creatures dies. The other creatures are your "finishers" and all just add spice and don't need any explanation for how good they are, and can be switched out for what works best for you.

Nissa, Steward of Elements synergizes very well with Vizier of the Menagerie since you will know whether your top card is a land or creature that can be put onto the battlefield with her +0 ability. Heroic Intervention is there to protect all of our permanents, especially the Vizier from removal.

Sideboard is mostly against control, with the exception of Dispossess against God-Pharoah's Gift and Trespasser's Curse against tokens.

Any suggestions welcome! This is a really fun deck to play and take over the game very quickly once it gets going.
