Thank you so much for your feedback zachz, glad I'm getting at something with the deck! Do you any recommendations of what I should swap Sphinx of Magosi and Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip out for? I was wondering whether I should add different lower mana creatures or add more enchantments or sorcery spells?

The deck looks like a delight. Straightforward frog focus tribal with some druids, and a lot of removal. I don't see any issues. There are a couple cards that don't have as much synergy with the deck, such as Frogmite but I could see keeping those in as thematic additions.

The Sphinx of Magosi and Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip both seem to be pretty large CMC costs for late game, but I don't see them making as big of a splash as you might want. By the scheme of the rest of the deck, your focus is on growing Sab-Sunen while your spells and small frog army slow down the opponents. The Floodwaters also seems slightly underwhelming for the high cost. Nonetheless, it looks like a fun time!

+1 I got it up to 269, nice

Mystic Archaeologist and Sphinx of Magosi seem very expensive for card draw, even if the former is a wizard. Blue has better draw to consider IMO.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - Ramp

Cavern of Souls - Anti counterspell

Hey, nice casual budget version, but are undying creatures other than Mikaeus and Flayer really worth it?

Consider more enablers to get +1/+1 counters on your creatures?

• Unspeakable Symbol
• Olivia, Mobilized for War
• Sword of Hours
• Fain, the Broker

If you're going for an attacking strategy then consider a few more fliers that have some added value when they die or when they ETB?

• Baleful Strix
• Bloodtracker
• Siren Stormtamer
• Butcher of Malakir

Bloodtracker + Sword of Hours is a nice interaction. Some sac outlets are helpful to sac creatures who have counters to get their die or ETB triggers.

• Carrion Feeder
• Viscera Seer
• Goblin Bombardment

You have several high CMC creatures here, more reanimation and enablers could help.

• Buried Alive
• Apprentice Necromancer
• Victimize
• Faithless Looting

Olivia, Mobilized for War is a +1/+1 counter enabler and an enabler for reanimation.

---

Some cards to consider cutting:

• Essence Backlash
• Redirect
• Kumena's Awakening
• Abnormal Endurance
• Pharika's Libation
• Butcher Ghoul
• Invisible Stalker
• Taurean Mauler
• Demonlord of Ashmouth
• Hound of Griselbrand
• Mer-Ek Nightblade
• Falkenrath Marauders
• Thunderblust
• Silumgar, the Drifting Death
• Blood Tyrant
• Sphinx of Magosi

Good luck with your deck.

libraryjoy on Sphinx of Magosi isn't Pioneer …

Yeah, it looks like from gatherer, that Sphinx of Magosi has only been printed in supplemental products (commander, conspiracy, welcome decks) since its release in Rise of the Eldrazi. So it is NOT Pioneer Legal.
