The original Sensei's Divining Top? I'm not sure about that. Ponder every upkeep in mono green is very powerful. Looking over the list you are right that it's just "ok". It doesn't do anything particular for the strategy. But I'm looking at it more as "good stuff". I would cut an instant or sorcery first before a permanent.

Jester's Cap is iconic for the era. Polar Kraken too! I think they were on the booster packs?

Thats a good point, didn´t thought about Platinum Angel as a downside, but i guess you are right here. Just thought of it as a protection against Phage.

I totaly misunderstood Rule 800.4a too, i saw a post in another deck using it (with exiled), and didn´t questioned it. That was my bad, but in this case it really wouldn't be that bad to get her back.

Do you know how cumultaiv upkeep works together with Irenicus? Rule 101.3. says: Any part of an instruction that’s impossible to perform is ignored. (In many cases the card will specify consequences for this; if it doesn’t, there’s no effect.).. Does this mean they can´t choose to sacrifice the creature and always have to pay for it? But what would happen if they can´t pay it? Or dose this mean the effect simple doesn´t happen?

Oh, that's a good one. I'll have to keep an eye out. I think that the new set coming out is going to have so many good things it will make these kinds of decks fun to play since they can be as competitive as you want them to be. I've always wanted to play ridiculous cards like Leviathan and Polar Kraken, and now I finally can.

Best and worst thing about ninjitsu: attack triggers don't trigger on first ETB

Fleet Swallower , Traumatize because playing your own creatures is so lame.

If you're going to play Spell Crumple throw in Tunnel Vision . Worst case, you burn a dozen cards into an opponents GY looking for a random card. Best case, you Crumple something then look for it and he's out of cards next draw step.

Polar Kraken , Eater of Days , Grothama, All-Devouring big. Impervious Greatwurm , Mossbridge Troll big and with abilities you might want.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Theme is pretty important, budget is low, I wouldn't want to spend more than a couple dollars on a single card. Combos are good, just not competitive "win before T5 w/ 2 cards" combos. Weak but clever or flavorful combos are fine.

Tidal Flats looks GREAT. Keeps other players off my back, totally fits the theme, this is definitely going in. Sorta like a cheaper themier shittier Conspiracy. Exactly the kind of card I'm looking for.

I also fancy Gorgon Flail. I've already got Pemmin's Aura and Freed from the Real. I've also got a Pirate Ship I could include for a poor mans Horseshoe Crab combo.

Thing from the Deep and Sunken City are definitely getting the boot. I was thinking Sunken City might be a good way to give my camarid/kelp/starfish tokens some bite, but something like Polymorphous Rush would be a lot more fun...

I figure I could at least sac Polar Kraken and Leviathan to Homarid Spawning Bed when the upkeep becomes too much, but some of these fatties are basically just in there for flavor/because I like them, their inclusion is hard to defend on merit. Plus, it's always extra satisfying when you win with some really horrible creature.

The combo w/ Tolarian Serpent is also pretty gimmicky, not sure if there's a any mono blue graveyard play that would make it worth it. I've got a Reminisce, from Onslaught, with water in the art :) Would this still be useful if I pulled the self-mill stuff, though?

Homarid Shaman is there 100% for the satisfaction of hosing beefy mono green decks with a lobster holding a magic wand. BLEATS OF DESPAIR!

I haven't gotten much mileage out of High Tide, I just added Great Whale which might help, but I expect you're right and this should be cut. Could repeat it w/ an Isochron Scepter but there's so few instants and sorceries it would be a dead card most of the time. Not much good ramp in blue for my fatties :(

Ring of Evos Isle seems like a better way to protect my creatures than Vanishing (and arguably more theme friendly), as fun as phasing is. I'll have to grab a one.
