What about Mimic Vat for Acidic Slime?

I'd love some, but I have none. Mimic Vat would also work well with Manic Vandal so I have considered putting it in.

Then I figured, it's just for two creatures and I run a lot of hate already. I think Mimic Vat is a fun suggestion, but the deck works without it atm, so it'd just be a perk. Also I'd have no idea what to take out. What would you suggest?

I dropped Torch Fiend for it and it works well. Also with Mimic Vat, you can run the legendary combo in my meta of it with Wurmcoil Engine.

I also wouldn't use Whipflare, because it will destroy your Llanowar Elves, which is part of your mana base.

Also what about Metallic Mastery? That would be really interesting.

Hey. so, that mimic vat idea sounds liie a lot of fun, and i could drop the Torch Fiends for it. Id like to play this at FNM as it currently is tho, see how it holds up, then Ill start tweaking some more. Im content with the current listing, but if it doesnt have the power ill try Mimic Vat and Kuldotha Phoenixes for extra powerhouse. Thanks for the idea.

Whipflare is the only mass removal i could put in there btw, and I want/need some mass removal in there for the load of creature based decks. Yes it kills my Elves, but they are just there for quick T1 ramp to gain mana advantage for LD. When Im at a turn where i want to whipflare over artifact hate, i dont care about llanowar anymore. and if I still do, Liquimetal Coating can turn it into an artifact creature and keep him safe. And Slagstorm is like ten times as expensive over here. so Whipflare is a win/win/win situation for me, but not part of the combo so they are sideboard when i dont need creature wipe.

Metallic Mastery is more fun, but less focus again. I dont have a way to kill the creature to a sac outlet or smth, and if I have artifact hate on hand, I dont need to steal their guys.

I might seem a bit stubborn, but thanks for the suggestions, rreally. Helps me look at my deck from new viewpoints.And im going to see aobout that Mimic Vat!

No, the decisions you make have reasoning, but the interesting thing I was observing with Metallic Mastery, is for instance, use it on a planeswalker, or maybe a power card like Grave Titan, ect. Then throw crush or something which allows you to reap it's benefits, and then sac it.

I can understand you wanting to run it before making changes, let me know how it goes :o

Okay, two tips that I found, Viridian Revel, and Glissa's Scorn instead of Naturalize. Because if you really need an enchantment destroyed, you can always make it an artifact and get it.

I had 2 Viridian Revel but I took it out; it's too slow and doesn't do anything the turn I drop it. T3 I want to be destorying an artifact. Running hate is better. I run Ichor Wellspring instead for draw in the SB; drops a turn earlier and I can destroy it anytime.

Glissa's Scorn migght be a little better than Naturalize, tho I guess they're about the same. But I don't have the Scorn so I'll stick to Naturalizes instead. Will swap some in when I get some I guess.

So far the deck has done crazy in playtesting, FNM last friday was a draft so 1 more week before I can take this to the tourney.

Have you thought about sideboarding/splashing blue for Argent Mutation for when you don't draw the coating?

I tend to mulligan till I can open with a Coating in hand, and I have a lot of ways to fetch the coating, some a bit more elaborate than others, but between Faithless Looting and Mulch into Buried Ruin it's been pretty consistant so far. I'm not worried. All I'm scared of is Surgical Extraction ;)
