THIS DECK IS CASUAL AND BUDGET-FRIENDLY SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED

[Maybeboard is a current wishlist]

This deck I run with friends was sort of born out of my fantastically unused Sidar and Thrasios combo while I was considering an Abzan hatebears deck. I had a lot of excess Simic and Selesnya cards, a million bears, flicker cards and a heinously unused Thrasios I was blessed enough to get cheap as a preorder four years ago laying around so I tooled around and made this delightful tactical amalgam I like to run against the guys who think their fat chump blockers can save them. After I pulled some bangers from M21 and Double Masters, I tooled around some more and made it a lot more tricky, too, with plenty of removal in case anyone fuckin' tries me.

The main strategy is to tempo out creatures as needed and get Thrasios out turn 2 and use him for ramp whenever there's extra mana laying around. From there it's usually as simple as getting Sidar out and wearing everyone down one-by-one until I can bust out a Biomass Mutation and glock everyone I can since we're all stompy dumbasses and never run any fliers. Between Thrasios and some of the creature ramp, it tends to be easy to maintain a consistent number of twos and take hits as needed. The deck is unassuming enough and the trickery and flickering can be used to create advantages for me and others, so while it's rarely first place material for battle royales, it's usually second place and can pull maddening victories one-on-one. One of my proudest moments was managing to snatch a Villainous Wealth that had some 17 mana pumped into it with Sudden Substitution and forcing the Muldrotha deck tyrna pull that into submission.

This is definitely meant as a casual adaptive deck and it's doubtful it'll ever be winning in really competitive circles, but any friendly suggestions and feedback are appreciated!
