Hidden Gibbons

Enchantment

When an opponent plays an instant spell, if Hidden Gibbons is an enchantment, Hidden Gibbons becomes a 4/4 Ape creature.

Have you considered Hidden Gibbons? In a multiplayer format it turns on real fast most games and a one mana 4/4 is pretty awesome.

@Hidden Gibbons I forgot Deprive existed. I’m going to add it to the maybeboard for now, partly because I want it as a visible reminder for when the time comes to give this deck a tune up. I’m actually very satisfied with how the current iteration performs, but with Wizards cranking out 30 expansions a year there will invariably come a time when newer, more effective cards will have to be considered. Thanks for posting.

I just had to give you a shout out for your username. Hidden Gibbons is a pet card of mine.

This is definitely a deck that that guy with metal shirts would be proud of (I think his YT channel name was EDH Deckbuilding) I'm out here looking at these Arcanum Wings and Hidden Gibbons and being like "what the heck?" lmao

Anyway... Running so many Shrines in your list, I feel like a Paradox Haze would make a very fine addition. Also, maybe just one single tutor could really improve your goal here with Sanctum Weaver.

Love the list! Keeping it thematic with the froggo really is the cherry on top here, and I really enjoy gimmicky and thematic lists as these.

Some options to consider to fit the monkey theme: Monkey Cage - Starts with M and can make many Ape tokens. Zodiac Monkey - Has Monkey in title. Name Dropping- can use ""gotcha" to get back cards from graveyard with Moneky in title. Urza's Hot Tub - can tutor for your favorite monkey. Pack's Disdain - for removal. Riptide Replicator or Volrath's Laboratory - make monkey tokens. Urza's Incubator - monkeys/apes cost 2 less.

These don't start with M and technically are Apes but there aren't many "monkey" cards. Uktabi Kong, Uktabi Orangutan, Gorilla Berserkers, Gorilla Chieftain, Hidden Gibbons, Treetop Village, Side to Side. You can also try Adaptive Automaton, Brass Herald, Door of Destinies or Obelisk of Urd for a Monkey / Ape "Anthem effects". Belbe's Portal to cheat monkeys into play.

Good luck with your monkey deck

Nice deck! Everyone fears, (or is at least annoyed by) Winter Orb. I've been running 10-Land Stompy since Odyssey Block, so of course I run Wild Mongrel. It not only fills the 2-drop slot, but also serves to utilize extra Land Grant and Elvish Spirit Guide in your hand. I see Bounty of the Hunt on your maybe board which is really good for the same reason. I used to run Vine Dryad, but it's low power disappointed me in such an aggressive deck. Skullclamp is fun to turn elves into cards.

Side board is tough and really depends on the field. My experience is that expensive blue decks win tournaments. So I run 4x Insist on the board. Hidden Gibbons is fun turn one, if you can sneak by Force of Will. Phyrexian Revoker is cheap way for green to interact with the opponent, I even main deck one now. Good luck and have fun!
