I have replaced Whirlwind of Thought with Bident of Thassa, as this deck has a stronger emphasis on combat than it does on casting spells.

FauxFaux on Card creation challenge

BirdieGirlie I go for Enchantment Artifact, only because I refer to the Theros' Gods "weapons"; Bident of Thassa, Hammer of Purphoros, Spear of Heliod, Bow of Nylea, and Whip of Erebos. Speaking of, why haven't we gotten one for Klothys or the other new "reborn" gods from Theros?! My favorite set has been passed by the wayside, it seems...time to remedy that! According to the LORE!!! (scary, I know), all of the Mono-Colored gods mentioned above were compleated...but some such as Kruphix, Athreos and Ephara survived, alongside presumably Klothys.

Distaff of Klothys {1}{R}{G}

Legendary Enchantment Artifact

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top card of your library. You may put that card into your hand or your graveyard.

{R}{G}, {T}: Exile target card from a graveyard. You gain 2 life and deal 2 damage to each opponent.

SaberTech on Should I Keep Basalt Monolith …

If you find that the deck frequently lets you have more than 7 cards in hand then yeah, Thought Vessel is worth considering. Of those options though, Noble Hierarch would be my pick since it lets you jump to 3 mana a turn early and every mana dork is an extra card draw with Chulane later in the game. Sakura-Tribe Elder is also worth considering even though you have to sac it. I would consider ramping into an extra land a safer form of ramp that the Maraleaf Pixie at the same mana cost. The Pixie would be better in decks that run cards like Ohran Frostfang or Bident of Thassa.

What do you think of Bident of Thassa? My reasoning is that when I tested the deck's primary concern was running low on cards. To solve this the Bident draws off of any creatures that can get in, and it's other ability can be useful as well to force blockers into attacking (great so your Putrefax can get in). It will also let other players get a free crack at that player as they had to throw the kitchen sink at opponents, so the card can have subtle but powerful impacts on the board's state if it starts getting clogged with creatures. On the downside it's clunky at 4 mana, but fwiw Double Strike will mean 2 cards from that one creature.

The alternative that's much lower to the ground is something like Curiosity, but this won't help you if all you have are Grand Abolishers and no Rafiq, Curiosity is better when you're doing well, Bident is better when you've fallen behind or are at parity.

Last_Laugh on Card draw when adding +1/+1 …

You could always forego the +1+1 counter hoop. Ohran Frostfang, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Bident of Thassa, Coastal Piracy, The Indomitable, and Reconnaissance Mission immediately come to mind in those colors.

This is great stuff! I'd really try to go overboard with draw based on hitting opponents. That definitely means cards like Bident of Thassa and Enduring Curiosity. Other fun cards I'd recommend would include more fun unblockables (when combined with Tetsuko) like Mist-Syndicate Naga, Mistblade Shinobi, Thousand-Faced Shadow and Veteran Ice Climber.

Suggestions for general good stuff: Whip of Erebos, Bident of Thassa, Hammer of Purphoros, Academy Ruins, Drownyard Temple.

Depending on your budget, Volrath's Stronghold and Crucible of Worlds gets your discarded stuff back.

Looks awesome! I have a 60 card turtle tribal, and I actually considered building Pride in a similar way.

I do have some cards you might want to consider:

Rapid Hybridization, Pongify: Both are cheap kill spells, and the tokens left behind will badically never be a problem for you.

Dive Down: Quite the great protection spell, and once you have Bedrock Tortoise or Assault Formation online, it will even be a combat trick.

Charix, the Raging Isle: Duuh ;D

Profaner of the Dead: One-sided wipe that's taylor-made for the deck.

Bident of Thassa: The card draw is great, but the activated ability is powerful for you, as it's basically redundancy for Angler Turtle.
