You might want to include Trinket Mage to find that strionic resonator, actually.

Thoughts on these? Trinket Mage, Tribute Mage, Sculpting Steel, Mirrormade, Clever Impersonator, Ugin, the Ineffable, Vedalken Archmage, Riddlesmith, Skyswimmer Koi, Codex Shredder, Ghoulcaller's Bell, Wand of Vertebrae, Pyxis of Pandemonium, Millikin

The synergy with Induced Amnesia is fantastic!

I like the idea of the deck - seems very unique and fun. A couple suggestions you could consider: it looks like you're dabbling in the wizard synergy but you could go a bit deeper for even more synergy with cards like Cyclone Summoner, Docent of Perfection  ^Flip, Minn, Wily Illusionist,Patron Wizard, Trophy Mage,Tribute Mage, Trinket Mage, Jace's Archivist and Azami, Lady of Scrolls

I think the above additions would help you keep the theme of your deck while offering more synergies all around. If you take this approach, you could also look to include Stonybrook Banneret as a budget medallion.

fetch your token fodder generators with: Trophy Mage,Tribute Mage, Trinket Mage create more fodder with: Docent of Perfection  ^Flip, Minn, Wily Illusionist

and bounce more with: Cyclone Summoner Stern Proctor & Equilibrium

The rest are just decent control/draw.

Additionally, in keeping with the bounce theme you may want to consider Into the Roil, Blink of an Eye, Disperse, and maybe even Capsize or Snap the former three will let you bounce your own targets for more ETBs/protection and in a pinch they can bounce those pesky enchantments blue has so much trouble dealing with.

For counterspells, the lower the mana cost, the better the counter. there are some great budget options if you find you've always got a handful of cards for free counters (Misdirection Disrupting Shoal) but one of the classics that isn't too pricey isArcane Denial but I'm quickly growing to loveAn Offer You Can't Refuse and Swan Song

For removal, the bounce theme is always great but for those pesky indestructible creatures I auto-include Resculpt in every blue deck I make.

Overall your deck looks like a ton of fun to play already, just adding in my thoughts.

Since you have a blink subtheme, you should note Trinket Mage, Tribute Mage, Trophy Mage, and Treasure Mage

can I ask why exactly Trinket Mage is in here?

How important is Thrasios?

I used to have a modern version of Ashnod's Coupon and I relied heavily on white for recursion with Auriok Salvagers, Sanctum Gargoyle, and Leonin Squire. I used Trinket Mage and Tolaria West to Tutor for the coupon, and used blink effects like Restoration Angel to re-use all of the ETB abilities.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Great deck! One card that instantly comes to mind for a deck like this: Mind Over Matter. Also, since you'll probably be drawing tons of stuff and you don't want to discard, Library of Leng seems like a good idea. I would not include Bruvac the Grandiloquent, since you're hardly running any mill cards. Considering all the nice, low-cost artifacts you're running, maybe Trinket Mage would be a nice addition.

Regards,

Sass764 what a strange coincidence. I just happened to update this list today and you left a really nice comment exactly 2 years ago to the day!

Right off the bat, I can't take credit for this strategy. Oath of Druids decks were popular and streamlined 20 years ago. All I did was utilize the EDH library and tweak it to fit the Simic shell. Now that said, I think I did a great job within the confines of green and blue. I want to go Temur for my next Oath deck. Red would grant access to efficient cheat effects and artifacts tricks.

Nylea's Intervention is a neat card but not neccessary to this strategy.

Meteor Golem is an awesome card I find myself squeezing into lots of decks. Universal Solvent is targeted removal for Trinket Mage.

The newest additions are Boseiju, Who Endures, Otawara, Soaring City and Resculpt.
