Intro

Before every game, I get confused looks from the people at my table.

"Are you playing Thrasios?"

-Yes

"Are you playing any other partner?"

-No

"But Kydele is so good! I don't understand why you are not _blah blah blah..."_

Yes, I am only running one partner. Yes, I know that having 9 cards "in hand" is better than 8. However, Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix and losing your hand to Windfall is scary for opponents, and they usually will take to killing you first. Therefore, I submit to you the most unassuming Simic commander that still has some value. Why would I want to look threatening while amassing the pieces to have 4 untap steps and counter all of your spells?

The general game plan is to ramp hard early with elves, power out combo pieces to draw my entire deck with Thrasios, Triton Hero, and bounce everyone's permanents with Capsize or watch my opponents scoop.

Key Combos

Deadeye Navigator + Anything (aka Mystic Snake or Peregrine Drake or Great Oak Guardian)

Great Oak Guardian + Temur Sabertooth

Capsize + Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake

Capsize + Cryptolith Rite + Paradox Engine

Nut draws involve Paradox Engine and Priest of Titania and can win on turn 3. Good times.

Potential Upgrades

Laboratory Maniac, Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix as your commander, Mana Drain and a more tuned counterspell suite, adjusting the Clone effects to more draw spells if your meta is not chock full of sweet targets
