Enter the Simic Growth Chamber

Based on The Commander's Quarters $25 Budget Vannifar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyvqeXIBGxE&ab_channel=TheCommander%27sQuarters

The idea is to have Prime Speaker Vannifar out as early as possible, with a target for her to start the chain of evolution, with the end goal of milling out our opponents with an infinite combo. That line of evolution is outlined below.

• Use a 1 CMC Creature to start the chain: Arbor Elf, Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Quirion Ranger
• Evolve to 2 CMC and Untap with Corridor Monitor or (by bouncing a Forest) with Scryb Ranger
• Evolve to 3 CMC and Untap with Bounding Krasis, Deceiver Exarch or Pestermite
• Evolve to 4 CMC and Untap with Breaching Hippocamp
• At 5 CMC, to untap you either have to be able to cast a spell after grabbing Chakram Retriever or have 1 mana open and a spell in your graveyard after grabbing Disciple of the Ring
• Evolve to 6 CMC and untap with Great Oak Guardian
• Evolve to 7 CMC with Protean Hulk - from here, you'll need Vitalize, Instill Energy, Cerulean Wisps or another way to untap Vannifar
• Evolve to 8 CMC with Tidespout Tyrant while also grabbing the combo pieces below when Protean Hulk dies

COMBO ONE

• When you sac Protean Hulk, you'll want to grab Memnite, Ornithopter, Pili-Pala, Grand Architect and Merrow Witsniper for a total of 6 CMC
• Use Grand Architect and Pili-Pala + 1 Blue mana to generate infinite mana of any color
• With Tidespout Tyrant out, you only need to cast a single spell to kick the combo off - which is to use the Tyrant's trigger to return Merrow Witsniper to your hand, recast it and return either Memnite or Ornithopter to your hand
• Repeat until your opponents no longer have a deck

COMBO TWO

• When you sac Protean Hulk, you'll want to grab Memnite, Ornithopter, Dryad Arbor, Phyrexian Walker, Sage of Hours and Ezuri, Claw of Progress for a total of 6 CMC
• Five creatures with power 2 or less will enter after Ezuri, Claw of Progress, giving you 5 experience counters
• Move to combat, and place 5 +1/+1 counters on Sage of Hours
• Remove the 5 counters from Sage of Hours, taking another turn after this one
• Repeat steps 4 & 5 for infinite turns

Other Synergies

• If you no longer have access to Tidespout Tyrant, you can use Shrieking Drake to similar effect
