another try out —July 31, 2023
switching out Pollenbright Druid for Scrounging Bandar
the monkey already enters with two (or three with Hardened Scales out) counters, and can move them and trigger more Hardened Scales. I think it will be a nice alternative to Pollenbright Druid. Moving these counters also benefits Simic Ascendancy
Switching out Contentious Plan for Experimental Augury for the insta speed and more drawing options

Have you considered splashing black? Gives you access to good stuff like Winding Constrictor (2 mana 2/3 with hardened scales?? plus triggers on The Ozolith as well) and Corpsejack Menace, while giving you clean answers to threats like Fatal Push, Abrupt Decay, Assassin's Trophy, etc.

Black definitely has good cards for this kind of thing but on this deck I have every slot full. Adding black would also mean changing the mana base considerably and increasing the average CMC. However I might make a separate deck with those cards, probably Golgari. Thanks!

yeah I was gonna say if you switch out blue for black the only card thats a big loss would be Stubborn Denial, since you can replace cloudfin with Experiment One, Pongify with push, and Contentious Plan with Tezzeret's Gambit or something idk

I thought about Experiment One but Cloudfin Raptor having 0/1 is crucial for evolving as fast as possible, since I have 3 other 1/1 creatures and they conflict on the Experiment's ability to Evolve. Getting counters as fast as possible is the most important thing in this deck. Pelt Collector also suffers from this issue. Also, Cloudfin has Flying.
But regardless of that you gave me a nice idea, I will make a Golgari counter deck tomorrow or something. Thanks again

Cool update! But I would recommend a max of 2 The Ozolith due to it being legendary. That way you aren't taking away as many creature slots as well.
