I found a few simic flash decks and combined a few ideas and made it all post-rotation legal. Very few simic flash decks use Faerie Duelist , so I'm ready for the blowback for putting that in the list!

I'm trying to decide whether or not to use Brazen Borrower . I only just found the use in him as a catch-all bounce spell, but I'm still not sure he's worth replacing something in my maindeck.

I feel this is actually not a bad matchup to ramp, because when I playtested 15/20 of the starting hands (no mulligans) had either Negate or Quench to counter a turn two Oko , and for the bigger threats you can just counter those too. More proof that Simic is OP (as if it were needed)
