Bristly Bill kinda makes me want to try Mono-Green again. Last time I tried it was a General Green Goodstuff™️deck helmed by Saryth, the Viper's Fang. Kinda fun, but also fairly generic & unfocused. I was initially pretty hyped to build Yuma, Proud Protector before he was revealed, but felt a bit underwhelmed. I might revisit him, as I was considering converting my Lord Windgrace deck into Yuma.

I have the feeling that there will be plenty of Ninjutsu Felix decks, especially for ones that lean "give evasive creatures triggers". That's kinda the route I went with Brokkos, since he could mutate onto a small body host & turn it into a 6/6 Trampler. Depending on meta, smaller evasive creatures might have a hard time if you're experiencing lots of aggro crack back. Here's a general Scryfall search aggregate of combat damage triggers in Sultai.

Sultai Nashi is a pretty cool design. The pull between Rats & Legends kinda put me off from building it, especially once I saw most lists were more Rat focused. I'm a fan of repurposing decks into something else that can share mana and other key components. My decks most on my chopping block at the moment are Gylwain, Prosper, & Windgrace.
