"Nature is a wonderful engineer but works far too slowly for my tastes."
- Master Biomancer

The deck uses clone cards to copy opponent's creatures. As my friends describe it, "The deck aims to do whatever your deck does, but better."

Why do you have only X of card Y?
Depending on the card, either budget issues when developing the deck or personal preference. While having full playsets of some cards would allow for greater consistency, I have found that, in a casual setting, the lack of identical play from game to game increases the replayability of the deck (e.g. I don't get bored of using it because it almost never runs the exact same way twice).

Why don't you run Biovisionary?
The purpose of the deck is enjoyment, not winning. While the deck often does win, it does so without opponents feeling like they had no chance to beat you due to a single "I win the game" card.
TlDR: I find the card to be anti-fun for a multiplayer group.
