This is my attempt at making a Simic evolve deck, I have been playtesting it out quite a bit and it seems to do alright, first tournament will be Wednesday, I will report the findings here.

The win conditions are the Cloudfin Raptor a quick evolve with flying. Elusive Krasis has also been able to get the job done nicely as it is unblockable and starts with toughness above a Searing Spear. If the Crowned Ceratok or the Sapphire Drake hit the field with a few buffed creatures on the field things tend to sway in my favor as well. Hindervines gives me a nice one sided combat usually and works to get other creatures off of the board. The idea with Wolfir Silverheart is to pair it with Master Biomancer for huge creature drops. Simic Manipulator is really a placeholder for another Master Biomancer once I can get my hands on one, in the mean time I am using it to try and steal me some Boros Reckoner. The card seems a little slow for my tastes though. The Zameck Guildmage removing counters from the Strangleroot Geist for card draw then Rapid Hybridization on the Strangleroot Geist works quite well to boost evolve and counter generation if Ivy Lane Denizen is in play.

I had three Gyre Sage in the deck to start, but I didn't seem to really need the mana dorks as I was never really short on mana. I also ran three Experiment One though I wasn's as fond of them as I am of the Cloudfin Raptor.

I am thinking that I need to add another Master Biomancer and possibly two more Simic Charm. Rancor is an option but it seems like it would slow down the evolve and isn't as needed with the addition of the Crowned Ceratok

The sideboard is geared towards control/junk decks with the ability to Acidic Slime some lands, keep cards from being played from the graveyards with Dryad Militant and Ground Seal. Stolen Identity is there so if an Angel of Serenity comes into play I can make a clone of it and exile their Angel (if junk hopefully Obzedat, Ghost Council) and get my creatures back. Cyclonic Rift is for the rush decks and Negate/Dispel and Wild Defiance for the burn decks.

Any suggestions would be helpful, I know I need dual lands for sure, any other suggestions are welcome though!

First tournament — April 4, 2013
Edit

I picked up two Master Biomancer and two Breeding Poolfoil before the tournament started so I put those in for the night.

Game One: RWU Control loss 1-2 everything I put out was either Counterflux, Dissipate or some other way taken out of commission. Game three was going well until Talrand, Sky Summoner dropped on his side and 2/2 drakes came flying out of his arse.

Game Two: Loss 0-2 G/W Thragtusk, Angel of Serenity unburial deck, I got destroyed, mana screwed.

Game Three: Win 2-1 Boros aggro, got me to 3hp couldn't pull a Searing Spear or Skullcrack, I was swinging 20 with trample at the end of the game.

Game Four: Win 2-0 Another Boros Lived with 1hp while he had 20 until I took him down to 0 with Cloudfin Raptor and Elusive Krasis. Next card on his deck was a Searing Spear, never look at the top card when you lose or mulligan!

Game Five: Loss 0-2 W/B/R Human Vampire deck, mana screwed got him to 8 before he dropped Cartel Aristocrat and Falkenrath Aristocrat, second game was looking good until Champion of the Parish, 2xBoros Elite, Silverblade Paladin and Falkenrath Aristocrat hit the field within 2 turns of one another.

Decided to drop:

Sapphire Drake, Hindervines, Wolfir Silverheart, Simic Manipulator, Strangleroot Geist, Adaptive Snapjaw, Clinging Anemones, Leyline Phantom

I added:

3x Quirion Dryad I know, it seems strange, but I have 24 spells that would "evolve" them, they are an early drop can grow huge fast, give me card draw with Zameck Guildmage and overall I think could be a key part to the deck.

3x Bioshift Really not sure how I feel about this decision as of yet, but I know if I had this card I could have won a game or two throwing the counters onto my attackers last minute. Will be used as a surprise to what seems like a chump.

3x Drakewing Krasis I had a little issue dealing with flyers, I was hesitant to chump a Cloudfin Raptor so I think this could help, I can get counters on it with Ivy Lane Denizen or Bioshift so it could become a threat in the air pretty easily.

1x Garruk Relentless  Flip I would prefer he was Garruk, Primal Hunter but he is what I have at the moment, If Ivy Lane Denizen is out when he comes into play the generation of wolves will let her add counters and if a Master Biomancer or two are on the field the wolves themselves would be a threat.

FNM tomorrow, will report with new findings!

Please leave comments/suggestions below, anything is welcome even if you think it is terrible, as long as it is constructive. Thank you!
