rentyr on Turtle deck

Vintara Snapper is a decent two drop if you can hit GG on turn two. From the newer sets you can get Thriving Turtle (always nice to have a one drop) and Silburlind Snapper (another potential win-con if you have enough instants/sorceries to support it). I would remove Shell Skulkin because it is a bit redundant with all the shroud your deck possesses. Growth Spasm also seems to break the theme.

A good way to actually win with such an awkward creature is Assault Formation since turtles have great toughness.

Good luck! Sounds like a fun little deck.

I'll admit I don't fully understand the decision to pair Turtles up with Auras - other than Vintara Snapper, they don't seem to have much synergy with the strategy to me - but I suppose that, other than Assault Formation, Turtles don't really synergise with anything. I do think you're running too few lands though; with your curve clustered around the 3-drops and going all the way up to 6, I would suggest going up to at least 24 lands and probably cutting down on the Silburlind Snappers to do so.
