This deck is a reimagining of one of my favorite decks as a teenager

The general strategy is snake swarm. Some specific dynamics that I wanted to develop:

-Flood the field with mana from shamans and mana draw cards

-Use all that mana to flood the field with snake tokens from Orochi Hatchery & Sosuke's Summons

-Use Descendants' Path to supplement this creature flow, and use Sensei's Divining Top in conjunction to make sure you're still drawing noncreature spells by ordering the cards.

-Boost the strength of these multitudes of snakes with the legendary snake creatures in the deck

-Use lure & snakes' special tapping of blocking creatures ability to allow a mass attack to almost entirely get through directly to the player. Worst case scenario, only one gets through, and primal bellow wrecks them.

Questions for the Community:

-General thoughts on strategy/card choice?

-Should I double up on some of the legendary snakes to make it more likely for me to draw them?

-This is definitely a slow deck. How can I speed it up?

-What cards should I cut from the deck to get it closer to 60 (or at least 70)? I know Orochi Hatchery is usually suggested, but I feel sentimental about that one so I'm looking for others ideas.

I made this deck with inspiration from the following decks:

-"Tired of these motherlovin' snakes..."

-"Tribal Snake Swarm"

-"Modified Snakes Path"

-"Snake's Path"
